Ricardo De la Paz, Vice Mayor Jude Thaddeus, councilors Al Victor Espino and Em Ang, other PNP officials, PSSLAI officers and leaders of the business sector in Bacolod.

Bacalzo commented that the new PSSLAI building in Bacolod can be considered as the safest place to invest in because all the transaction in the office are cashless.

The PSSLAI does not engage in cash transactions. “If you want to be a member and transact with PSSLAI, your transactions will all be through automatic salary deduction. No cash involved,” Bacalzo explained.

He said the opening of the PSSLAI field office in BCPO marks a milestone for the association as it brings its services closer to its clients and stakeholders.

This a strong signal of the commitment and focus of the PSSLAI, Bacalzo added.

The encouraging economic conditions and the strong visions of our national leadership are echoed in this move to bring the PSSLAI service where it is needed here in Bacolod, he stressed.

Bacalzo also hoped that PSSLAI will implement in its daily interaction the key principle that he had started in the PNP which is “the day-to-day practice of good manners and the right performance of duty.”
