Press Release
May 14, 2026

1st ESPMFC free circumcision

DOLORES, Eastern Samar – Personnel of the 1st Eastern Samar Provincial Mobile Force Company (1st ESPMFC), under the leadership of PMAJ MARVAL S DIAZ, Officer-in-Charge, successfully conducted a Community Outreach Program featuring “Libreng Tuli at Libreng Gupit” at the 1st ESPMFC Headquarters, Brgy. 15/Lunang, Dolores, Eastern Samar, on May 12, 2026.

Prior to the conduct of the free services, police personnel facilitated an informative discussion on the Anti-Bullying Act of 2013 (RA 10627), including awareness on “Good Touch and Bad Touch,” to educate the children and raise awareness on child protection and personal safety. Snacks (Biscuit and Juice) and free ice cream (Sorbetes) were likewise distributed to the participants after the discussion.

The initiative aimed to provide free circumcision and free haircut services to young boys in the community, particularly those from underserved families, as part of the unit’s continuing commitment to public health and community service. Anchored on the 1st ESPMFC tagline, “Magbigay ng Serbisyong may Kasamang Puso,” the activity also sought to promote personal hygiene, health awareness, and overall well-being while strengthening police-community relations through compassionate and meaningful public service in line with the Philippine National Police core value - “Makatao.

PMAJ DIAZ said, "True community service isn't just about meeting immediate needs; it’s about providing the dignity of professional care to those who need it most. By hosting free circumcision activities, we aren't just performing a procedure – we're investing in the long-term well-being and confidence of our next generation."

Also present during the activity were the Eastern Samar Provincial Medical and Dental Team (ESPMDT), led by PCPT ERWIN D YBUAN, Officer-in-Charge; personnel of Dolores MPS under the supervision of PMAJ EUMORPHO C BATLANGAO, ACOP; personnel of the 52nd Infantry Battalion under the supervision of LTC SANDY U SERENO, INF (GSC) PA; and Ms. Daisy Amor Lalosa-Belizar, Acting Broadcaster Production Supervisor of Radyo Pilipinas Borongan.

The activity further highlighted the collaborative efforts of various government agencies and stakeholders in supporting community welfare through accessible basic services, health promotion, and strengthened partnership with the public.

Moreover, the 1st ESPMFC expressed its sincere gratitude to Ms. Keena M. Mate, RN, MAN, for generously sponsoring the necessary medical supplies, surgical instruments, and medicines, as well as to the Local Government Unit of Can-avid, headed by Hon. Alicia L. Teves, Municipal Mayor, for providing logistical support that greatly contributed to the success of the activity.

The 1st ESPMFC remains steadfast in its commitment to serving the community through programs that foster trust, compassion, and public safety.
