SERVICE BEYOND DUTY: A COMPASSIONATE HEART WHO IS ALWAYS WILLING TO HELP

Since 2021, PCOL JENNY DC TECSON, Chief, District Logistics Division (DLD), EPD, has been extending her service beyond her sworn duty by adopting an indigent family from Taguig City under her personal care. Driven by compassion and genuine concern, she has taken on the responsibility of providing continuous financial support to the four grandchildren of Mrs Lorna Gatdula, who are currently in Grades 1, 3, 5, and 7.

With the help of her close friends, Mr. Jonathan Ting, Vice-President of the Canton Chamber of Commerce, and Dr. Vincent S. Chan, Founder of The Goodfellow Foundation, PCOL TECSON is able to further sustain her mission of hope and compassion.

Through this selfless act, she ensures that the children have the means to pursue their education, recognizing that learning is the key to breaking the cycle of poverty and opening doors to a brighter future. Her unwavering support covers school needs and daily essentials, giving the children not only the opportunity to study but also the hope and encouragement to dream big.

This remarkable gesture reflects the true essence of “Service with a Heart”, police officer’s mission that goes beyond enforcing the law, embracing compassion, and uplifting the lives of those in need. Her story is a living testimony that behind the badge beats a heart dedicated not only to peace and order but also to kindness, care, and genuine public service. Truly, she embodies “Service Beyond Duty: A Compassionate Heart Who is Always Willing to Help.”

NCRPO PRESS STATEMENT

Your National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) maintained maximum tolerance despite premeditated violence.

The National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) reaffirms its commitment to uphold every Filipino’s constitutional right to peaceful assembly and freedom of expression. Our mission has always been clear: to ensure the safety of and security of everyone in the assemblies—protesters, bystanders, commuters, business owners, and police officers.

Most assemblies held across Metro Manila on September 21, 2025, were peaceful and orderly, particularly those in EDSA and Luneta. Unfortunately, the gathering in Ayala bridge and Mendiola, even though unprovoked, turned very violent. Protesters turned mobs assaulted police officers with stones and anything they can get their hands on. Not satisfied with harming police officers in uniform, violent protesters set motorcycles on fire, vandalized and ransacked a business establishment. These unlawful acts were recorded and have since circulated on social media.

Despite such despicable aggression, your police officers remained composed, professional, and exercised maximum tolerance. Latest reports indicate that police arrested 224 suspects, who were given immediate medical attention. Some of those arrested were minors and were investigated with DSWD. They will face charges for direct assault, physical injuries, arson, and other charges that may be grounded on available evidence. Meanwhile, investigators continue to identify instigators and leaders.

Unfortunately, 131 of our officers who were on the defensive throughout the public safety operations sustained injuries. Although some were very serious, they are now stable and receiving medical treatment.

The NCRPO reiterates its deep respect for the rights of Filipinos to peaceful assembly and freedom expression. However, these rights must be exercised responsibly and within the bounds of law. Violence and criminality will not be tolerated. Your NCRPO will continue to enforce the law, protect the public, and serve the Filipino people. # # #
