AT LEAST 29 newly constructed houses were turn over to the indigent families in Samar towns, following the "Pangarap na Bahay, Pulis ang Aalalay, Pamayanan ay Kaagapay" project of the Samar Police Provincial Office (SPPO).

Brigadier General Rommel Bernardo Cabagnot, police regional director, lauded the initiative of then-SPPO director Colonel Glenn Oliver Cinco and to incumbent director Colonel Peter Limbauan for pursuing the project until its full completion.

“You are not only leading your men and women into the attainment of our organization’s mission and vision, but you also take good care of the community you are serving,” said Cabagnot.

“I hope this best practice of yours be replicated to other provinces and let us help each other to achieve a compassionate, peaceful, and safer place to live in,” the official added.

In Catbalogan City, Wilfred Gonzales was teary-eyed as he thanked the police officers for their new house, which was turned over to them on Thursday, November 18, 2021.
