THE Police Regional Office in Eastern Visayas has underscored the support of media and other stakeholders on its law enforcement and fight against criminality.
“Since time immemorial, well-founded partnership between the Philippine National Police (PNP), the media and other stakeholders have proven its indispensable relevance to the overall success and realization of the objectives of law enforcement,” said Lieutenant Colonel Ma. Bella Rentuaya, PNP regional spokesperson.
“The media serves as the ultimate avenue of police community relations through public information containing the most reliable facts necessary to be made known to the general public. Stakeholders, on the other note, played as an integral support system of the PNP for so many years. They advocate unfaltering assistance and support in bringing the vision of the PNP to reality,” she added.
According to Rentuaya, they owed a lot to their stakeholders, who are instrumental in the realization of their various projects in the region.
“These people and institutions deserve, not only to be recognized but to be genuinely appreciated and applauded for bringing the police closer to the community,” said Rentuaya.
