Camp Olivas, City of San Fernando, Pampanga – Personnel from Police Regional Office 3 (PRO3) joined forces with Local Government Units (LGUs) to deliver timely relief to affected communities across Central Luzon—proving that public service goes far beyond maintaining peace and order.
In partnership with LGU officials and volunteers, PRO3 personnel helped pack, transport, and distribute essential supplies—including food packs, drinking water, hygiene kits, and clothing—to families hit by flooding and severe weather.
This initiative is part of the continuing efforts of PRO3 to extend police visibility and assistance not only for peace and order but also for humanitarian service.
PBGen Ponce Rogelio Penones Jr., Regional Director of PRO3, commended the commitment of his personnel and the collaborative efforts of the LGUs:
“We are not just enforcers of the law; we are servants of the people. In times of hardship, our presence must bring hope and comfort. By working hand in hand with our LGUs, we ensure that no community is left behind. This is what genuine service looks like.”
He further emphasized the importance of police-community partnership in times of crisis:
“Ang ating mga kababayan ang tunay na lakas ng ating bayan. Sa pagtutulungan ng kapulisan at pamahalaang lokal, mas napapalakas natin ang ating kakayahan na harapin ang anumang pagsubok.”
The relief operations are expected to continue in other parts of the region as PRO3 maintains its commitment to public welfare and community support, guided by the 3 pillars of the Chief PNP, Swift and Responsive Public Service, Unity and Morale within the ranks and Accountability and Modernization.
