The Police Regional Office 6 (PRO-6) has acquired 19 brand-new Toyota Hi-Lux 4X2 single cab and a 45-seater Hino shuttle bus to boost its move-and-shoot capability.
Brigadier General Rolando Miranda, Western Visayas police chief, led the blessing and ceremonial turn-over of the vehicles on Dec 9, 2020.
Police Colonel Noel Ponsaran, Regional Pastoral Officer, officiated the blessing.
Also in attendance were Colonel Gilbert Gorero and Colonel Julio Gustilo, the provincial directors of Iloilo and Capiz police offices, respectively.
Sixteen of the single cab patrol jeeps will go to the Iloilo Police Provincial Office (IPPO) while three were issued to Capiz PPO.
In Iloilo, the recipients are the police stations in Anilao, Balasan, Dingle, Estancia, Leganes, Lemery, New Lucena, Pavia, Pototan, San Enrique, San Rafael, Sta. Barbara, Tigbauan, Tubungan, Igbaras, and Mina.
In Capiz, the municipal police stations of Jamindan, Panay, and Pontevedra will each get a patrol vehicle.
The shuttle bus will be used by the different offices of PRO-6 headquarters.
Lieutenant Colonel Joem Malong, PRO-6 spokesperson, said the PNP national headquarters in Camp Crame issued the vehicle to PRO-6 to enhance the police operations of the different municipalities in maintaining peace.
“With their mobile capability, we also expect them to strengthen their operational competence,” she said.
For this year, PRO-6 was allocated with 44 new patrol cars.
Nineteen more will be turned over before the year ends.
Malong said there has been a constant effort in the PNP organization to update the move capability of the different police units all over the country.
Currently, each station has 2-3 PNP-issued vehicles. These are on top of the donations made by some local government units.
Miranda said that these patrol cars help in boosting their anti-crime efforts and for field units to be more effective in its patrolling system.
He also appealed to all police personnel “to take care of those vehicles as if it is your own.”
