PNP-SAF secures permanent headquarters site in Sagay
By Glazyl M. Jopson
BACOLOD CITY – The Philippine National Police-Special Action Force’s 2nd Special Action Battalion will have a permanent headquarters site in Sagay City, Negros Occidental, following the donation of a 20,529-square-meter property.
Ma. Milagros Cooper, president of Cooper Reata Agricultural Corporation, and Police Maj. Gen. Paul Kenneth Lucas, SAF director, signed the deed of donation at the battalion headquarters in Sitio Tan-ao, Barangay Poblacion II, on Monday, Nov. 9.
Under the deed, the property will be used exclusively for the construction and operation of the battalion headquarters and related facilities needed to fulfill the PNP’s mandate.
The donated land, where the battalion is currently situated, has an assessed value of PHP 4,800,000 and forms part of an 888,483-square-meter property owned by Cooper Reata Agricultural Corporation.
Cooper said the donation represents her family’s commitment to the community and its belief that peace and public order are essential to the well-being of families.
She welcomed the SAF personnel to their permanent home and expressed hope that the partnership between the community and law enforcement would continue to grow.
She also expressed hope that the property would help law enforcers fulfill their mission.
“May this property serve as an enduring symbol of unity and our shared commitment to protect the people,” she added.
Police Lt. Col. Jeffrey Bangngo, the battalion’s officer in charge, thanked the Cooper family and said the donation would strengthen the relationship between police and the community.
The property is expected to provide space for facilities needed as the battalion’s operations and personnel requirements expand.
In September, a fire damaged part of a makeshift structure inside the 6th Special Action Battalion headquarters in Barangay Poblacion II, causing an initial estimate of PHP 240,000 in damage.
