THE traditional Philippine National Police (PNP) Police Regional Office (PRO)-Central Luzon New Year’s Call to Central Luzon Police Director Rhodel Sermonia on Thursday, January 9, at the PANA Hall of Camp Olivas, City of San Fernando, Pampanga.

The New Year’s Call is an annual tradition where PNP members pay a call to their commanders and key officials in their respective areas of responsibility. It helps define the very essence of military and police profession and designed to build esprit de corps and camaraderie.

Police Brigadier General Sermonia cited the challenges and situations that confronted PRO-Central in 2019 as well as the accomplishments attained in pursuit of the PNP mission to maintain peace and order in Central Luzon.

On top of his marching orders and strategic guidance to members of the command group, directorial staff, provincial and city directors and directors of regional support units, he underscored the PNP’s operational thrust on anti-criminality and illegal drugs as well as stakeholders and community support which contributed to the overall performance of PRO-Central Luzon.

“We are in this together and I am optimistic that we will realize all our plans and programs this year with more deliberate and calibrated actions primed with excellence, optimizing the utilization of our human, money and material resources available,” Sermionia said.

“All that we have achieved last year were done with capabilities that still reside within our organization. And this year, we will aim for greater heights in our accomplishment as we approach it together as a stronger force making sure our communities are safer and feeling safer throughout 2020,” he added.
