The Pasig City and Mandaluyong City police stations, both in the Eastern Police District, bagged the number 1 and 3 spots, respectively.
The police stations were conferred with an award “for their outstanding performance in the discharge of their mandated functions in keeping the peace and maintaining law and order in their area which contributed immensely to the accomplishment of the over-all vision and objective of the NCRPO in particular and the Philippine National Police in general.”
“Truly, the Southern Police District is steadily maintaining its standing as its three police stations bagged the top 2, 4 and 5. To perform our mandate, we must do our best in providing total police service to our people, community and to the organization we represent,” said Cruz.
Cruz praised the three police commanders Col. Bernard Yang (Pasay), Col. Rogelio Simon (Makati) and Col. Simnar Gran (Las Pinas) “for the good performance and for the job well done.”
