PNP New Police Recruits

A total of 192 new police recruits from the provinces of Ilocos Norte,
Ilocos Sur, La Union and Pangasinan -- comprising 153 males and 39
females -- took their oath of office Friday before Police Chief
Superintendent Franklin Jesus B. Bucayu, Region 1 police director.

Senior Superintendent Reynaldo G. Biay, head of the Regional Personnel
and Human Resource Development Division (RPHRDD), said the police
recruits who took the rank of Police Officer 1 (PO1) were composed of
114 who were recruited through the 2011 PO1 Regular Recruitment
Program and another 78 through the 2nd Phase of the 2011 PO1 Attrition
Recruitment Program.

In view of the rigid screening process set by the PNP and strictly
implemented by the Police Regional Office 1 (PRO1) Regional Screening
Committee (RSC) headed by Chief Superintendent Roman A. Felix, only
192 successfully passed all phases of the screening, which is 72 short
of the total 264 quota (161 for the Regular Program and 103 for the
attrition Program) for Region 1.

General Bucayu, in his message to the new police recruits, emphasized
the importance of self-discipline and right attitude towards training.

He said that undergoing the six-month Public Safety Basic Recruit
Course (PSBRC) and the subsequent Field Training Program (FTP) is
designed to fully prepare them for the exacting demands of police
work.

"Ang panunumpa ninyo sa katungkulan ay simula pa lamang; mahaba pa ang
kailangan niyong lakbayin, at marami pang pagsubok ang naghihintay sa
inyong lahat," he added.

"Ang hamon sa inyo ngayon ay paghusayin ang inyong pagsasanay. Train
with enthusiasm for self-improvement. Learn and instill in your hearts
and minds all the knowledge, skills and values that will be imparted
to you by your mentors. At higit sa lahat, lalo pa ninyong pagtibayin
ang pananalig sa Diyos, na Siya nating gabay sa bawat gawain," the
regional PNP director stressed.

Bucayu also presented certificates of appreciation to Chief Supt.
Felix and Ms. Angelita B. Concepcion of the National Police Commission
Regional Office 1, chairperson and vice-chairperson of the RSC,
respectively, in recognition of their efficient leadership of the
committee.

Similar awards were handed to the RSC members for their invaluable
support to the PNP, namely; Chief Supt. Samuel S. Labadia (Ret.),
Regional Peace and Order representative; Ms. Corazon G. Salindong,
Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) representative;
Ms. Nora R. Penaflor, Women's Sector representative; and Senior Supt.
Biay.
