MALUNGON, Sarangani – Government officials here presented after its customary flag raising ceremony, two units of newly purchased sports-type motorcycles and the recently turned-over patrol jeep by the Department of the Interior Local Government to beef up its local police station’s patrol, transport and responding capabilities, Monday.

In connection, the two-unit dirt bikes were purchased by the local government through an approved SB resolution authored by Councilor Benjamin Santos, who chairs the committee on peace and order. 

A legacy to remember:

The simple yet solemnly held groundbreaking ceremony was swathed with silence as Rev. Fr. Alexander Arellano leads the invocation on stage, together with P/Chief Supt Camba, and the local station chief, P/Chief Insp. Jaime Tabucon who are both set for mandatory retirement in the government service this year, including Mayor Constantino, who is also in his last year and final term of office as the local chief executive of the said town. 

In a heart-touching message, Camba has cited how he had practiced his best in protecting the citizenry, and likewise uplifting the living status of those who have worked with him, hand in hand, during his almost half of a lifetime stay in the police service. Of these is his boundless efforts of guiding the path of each uniformed man, the dignity of being a police officer, and the genuine significance of loyalty in the police service.

Camba, who is now focusing his last few months of headship not only in face-lifting the structural appearance of the regional command, but likewise in strengthening both the working edifice and spiritual concept of the entire Central Mindanao-based law enforcers, also gave credence to all the achievements and active participation of the Malungon-assigned police personnel under the active watch of his likewise about to retire station chief, P/ Chief Insp. Jaime Tabucon, which he counts as among the top performers in the entire PNP regional command. 

The Police General also highly commended the Constantino-led government for its active participation and support of all of the PNP peace-related tasks, operations and projects under its main stream of obligations. 

For his part, Mayor Reynaldo F. Constantino, who is known to be as the true founder and stabilizer of peace and order in Malungon town by bringing forth under his leadership, the genuine meaning of serenity that was then a perennial problem and an elusive dream to locals living in the far flung villages, also gave a very expressive message for local policemen to continually uplift his pledge to vindicate the Inlands from its former title of being a “ haven to cattle rustlers, bandits and criminal groups” in South Central Mindanao Region.

Aside, with the end of his term now in the offing, Constantino has decided to change the course of his administration from its then priority programs in Agriculture as being the local government’s flagship program that is now being presumed by the majority to be on a well-stabled arrangement due to the stability of peace and order, into infrastructure, purposely to completely realize the last phase of his pledge to provide each of the 31 barangays of the municipality with the much needed infrastructure projects which includes the stabilization of school facilities. 

“ I am really most honored by having here with us our energetic police chief for Central Mindanao no other than P/Chief Supt. Lester Camba, and hence of our very own hard working chief of police, P/Chief Insp. Jaime Tabucon, as we all gradually spend our last days in the government service. And as we gently put down our last months by molding more the bequests, we would wish to remind our people of what we have sufficed in a desire to continuously promote a peaceful home to live in, and so of the structural plans that we helped to build for all the good intentions in life, I do still hope for us to be remembered not as builders of buildings and bridges – but of good moral character and honest kind of leadership,” Constantino told newsmen during a follow-up interview right after the activity. 

DILG Projects acknowledgement: 

Meanwhile, aside from the recently turned over patrol jeep by DILG Sec. Roxas and all the other support in beefing up the local police capability in its anti-crime drive, Constantino also gave identification to all of the Department of the Interior and Local Government implemented projects, specifically its Sagana at Ligtas na Tubig sa Lahat or SALINTUBIG program that provided Malungon’s isolated communities with potable drinking water. 

In a phone interview, Limpin said through the support of Reg. Dir. Bungubung and the Dept’s Secretary (Mar Roxas) himself, the DILG has able to provide at least P68million-worth of potable water systems to almost 455 waterless districts in all of the seven comprising towns in the whole of Sarangani Province.
