ILOILO City – The Philippine National Police’s (PNP) Regional Finance Service Office (RFSO) in Western Visayas expressed its love for public service and concern to the community through its “Kapulisan at Pamayanan, Sama-sama sa Pagbangon ng Barangay Zamora-Melliza” in the City Proper district here yesterday.
The entire RFSO-6 force headed by their chief, Police Colonel Rommel C. Estolano, went to the covered gym of the said barangay to conduct an outreach program and awareness campaign against cholera.
The program was attended by the victims of the said illness, as verified by the barangay officials headed by village chief Peter Abadiano.
Sweet smiles were shared by the residents as the RFSO-6 also prepared games and ice breakers.
“Nandito kami para iparamdam sa ating mga kababayan ang tunay na malasakit mula sa ating kapulisan. Alam natin na marami dito sa Barangay Melliza ang tinamaan ng diarrhea o cholera kaya naisipan namin na bumaba para mabawasan man lang ang mga hinagpis nila sa buhay. Iparamdam natin na life is beautiful, tulong-tulong kasama ang kapulisan sa pagbangon,” said Estolano.
He hoped that through their community outreach program, the residents will also feel that the PNP is at their back to show love and care.
“Una sa tanan, nais naming iparating sa inyo ang aming taos-pusong pasasalamat dahil sa dinami-daming barangay na apektado rin ng AGE, ang aming barangay ang natuunan ng pansin na kahit paano maka-extend kayo ng konting tulong,” Abadiano said.
The funds used in purchasing the food packs and groceries that were given to the recipients came directly from the pockets of the RFSO-6 personnel.
Estolano added that, under his leadership, they will conduct more community outreach in other barangays in the region./PN
