PRO3, Nakiisa sa Earthquake Drill

Angelito Siapco

CAMP JULIAN OLIVAS, Pampanga — Nakiisa ang Police Regional Office 3 (PRO3) sa isinagawang 2nd Quarter Nationwide Simultaneous Earthquake Drill (NSED) kahapon (June 19)

Nagsimula ang drill sa dalawang minutong pagtunog ng sirena na hudyat upang agad na isagawa ng mga kalahok ang “Duck, Cover, and Hold” protocol. Ang mga tauhan ng PNP, g**o, estudyante, at iba pang empleyado ay agad na yumuko, nagtago sa ilalim ng mesa, at saka maayos na lumikas sa mga gusali patungo sa itinakdang evacuation area sa Parade Ground, habang nakaantabay sa mga dapat gawin upang maiwasan ang kaguluhan at mapanatili ang kaayusan.

Bahagi rin ng pagsasanay ang pagsasagawa ng simulation exercise kung saan ipinakita ang mabilis na pagtugon sa mga nasugatan sa gitna ng lindol. Ipinamalas ng mga rescue units mula sa RMFB3, RMDU3, at Bureau of Fire Protection 3 (BFP3) ang kanilang kahandaan, kahusayan, at bilis sa pagresponde sa ganitong mga senaryo.

Ayon kay PBGen Jean S. Fajardo, Regional Director ng PRO3, layunin ng drill na masig**o ang kahandaan ng bawat isa sa loob ng kampo sa harap ng banta ng lindol at iba pang uri ng sakuna. “Ang ganitong uri ng pagsasanay ay hindi lamang simpleng drill kundi isang proaktibong hakbang upang maiwasan ang malubhang pinsala at matiyak ang kaligtasan ng bawat isa,” ani Fajardo.

Muling pinagtibay ng PRO3 ang kanilang paninindigan bilang haligi ng seguridad at kaligtasan ng publiko—ang unang tumutugon at unang naglilingkod, lalo na sa panahon ng krisis. Patuloy ang PRO3 sa pagtupad sa misyon nitong “To Serve and Protect the Community”, na may layuning maghatid ng proteksyon, pag-asa, at katiwasayan sa mga mamamayan sa gitna ng anumang sakuna.

Ang regular na pagsasagawa ng earthquake drill ay mahalagang bahagi ng disaster preparedness program ng pamahalaan, na naglalayong patatagin ang kapasidad ng mga ahensya at mamamayan sa pagtugon sa mga kalamidad—isang hakbang tungo sa isang ligtas at matatag na komunidad.

Choi Jong Pill (Presidente, Angeles Korean Association), G. Timothy Crowford (Commander, American Legion), at G. Kim Si Jung (Presidente, FNKN–Angeles City).

Ipinakita sa naturang aktibidad ang aktibong pakikiisa ng iba’t ibang sektor ng lipunan—isang patunay ng pagkakaisa para sa mas inklusibong serbisyo, paggalang sa magkakaibang kultura, at pagtataguyod ng kaligtasan at pagkakaisa sa mga pamayanan ng Angeles City.

Ang CASSN ay pangunahing inisyatiba ng PNP na may temang “Building Trust and Safety Through Inclusive Policing.” Layunin nitong patatagin ang ugnayan sa pagitan ng kapulisan at komunidad sa pamamagitan ng kultura-sensitibong serbisyo, mas mabilis na police assistance, at bukas na komunikasyon sa lahat ng sektor—lokal man o banyagang residente.

Isa sa mga tampok ng aktibidad ang seremonyal na pagpirma sa CASSN Pledge of Commitment and Support, na sumisimbolo sa matibay na pangako ng pulisya at komunidad na itaguyod ang dignidad, karapatan, at kaligtasan ng bawat isa. Sa panatang ito, muling pinagtibay ng mga kalahok ang kanilang layunin na maging katuwang ng PNP sa pagbuo ng isang ligtas, makatao, at matatag na lipunan.

Ayon kay PBGen. Jean S. Fajardo, Regional Director ng PRO3, “Ang CASSN ay hindi lamang isang mekanismo ng serbisyo kundi isang panata ng pagtutulungan. Sa pamamagitan nito, pinapalakas natin ang tiwala ng komunidad sa pulisya at pinatatatag ang ating kakayahan na maghatid ng ligtas, pantay, at may malasakit na serbisyo.”

Dagdag pa niya, “Tinitiyak namin sa ating mga kababayang Filipino-Chinese at iba pang mga banyagang komunidad na ang inyong kapulisan ay tapat sa tungkuling ipagtanggol ang inyong mga karapatan at siguraduhin ang inyong seguridad. Mananatili kaming mapagmatyag upang kayo ay maprotektahan laban sa lahat ng anyo ng kriminalidad.”

Binigyang-diin din ni PBGen Fajardo ang paninindigan ng PRO3 sa kanilang sinumpaang tungkulin na magsilbi sa publiko sa paraang mabisa, epektibo, at makatao.

“Ang inyong kapulisan ay patuloy na maglilingkod para sa isang ligtas, panatag, at mas maunlad na lipunan,” pagtatapos niya.

Ramon Efren R. Lazaro

CAMP ALEJO SANTOS, Bulacan -- Bulacan Gov. Daniel Fernando reiterated his call to law enforcers to bring justice for the death of Ramil Capistrano, president of the Provincial League of Barangay who was ambushed and killed eight months ago.

It can be recalled that Capistrano together with his driver, Shedrick Suarez, were killed when they were ambushed in Barangay Ligas in the City of Malolos on October 3, 2024.

Four of the suspects have already warrants for their arrests and police tracker teams have already been working on it, Estoro said.

They have been charged with murder and have warrants of arrest issued by Judge Felizardo Montero Jr. of the Regional Trial Court Malolos City.

Farm gate prices of palay down to P8.00-P10.00/kg

Ramon Efren R. Lazaro

SAN MIGUEL, Bulacan -- Farmer leaders in this town lamented that farm gate prices of palay has gone down to P8.00 to P10.00 per kilo depending on its quality.

Rolly Dela Cruz, a farmer leader from this town, said that farmers are currently harvesting their second dry cropping season in Bulacan and said "tiyak lugi na naman ang magsasaka sa ganitong presyo ng palay."

On the other hand, the National Food Authority is buying clean and dry palay at P24.00 per kilo, however, there seems to be a problem in unloading its palay inventory to be processed into rice leaving limited spaces for palay procurement, a farmer leader who does not want to be identified said.

On the other hand, Rosendo So, president of the Samahang Industriya ng Agrikultura (SINAG) also confirmed in a text message that the situation is also the same in the provinces of Pangasinan and Isabela.

He cited that the price of rice bran, a rice processing by-product, is even priced higher at P14.00 per kilo.

He explained that production cost for the rice crops is P15.00 per kilo that is much higher compared to the current farm gate price of palay.

If the situation is not corrected, farmers may discontinue planting rice crops to avoid being bankrupt and maybe forced to look for other source of livelihood, So noted.

He added that if this happens, the staple grain food security of the country maybe compromised.

With the current palay and rice prices scenario, So is reiterating his call to the government to bring back the rice tariff of imported rice to 35 percent that was previously sliced down to 15 percent.

Hospitals were also reminded of their surge capacity responsibilities under the national guidelines that provide for proper isolation rooms and beds to handle potential cases while health offices throughout the province were also instructed to report suspected cases immediately through the event-based surveillance and response information system.

Dedicated hotlines were established in coordination with local health offices to streamline patient referrals and transfers to appropriate isolation or treatment facilities

Health officials said the symptoms of Mpox disease are skin rashes or mucosal lesions, fever, swollen lymph nodes and sore throat, muscle and body pain, headache and low energy.

In order to prevent possible contraction of the virus, experts advise everyone to avoid skin-to-skin contact, have proper personal hygiene, conduct regular disinfection, wash hands regularly, and consult immediately with the nearest health center when symptoms persist.
