PNP Chief Cascolan visits Calabarzon police

CAMP VICENTE LIM, Calamba City, Laguna – Philippine National Police (PNP) Chief General Camilo Cascolan on Wednesday visited the Police Regional Office 4-A headquarters and welcomed by its Director Brig. General Vicente Danao Jr.

Among those presented during the PNP chief’s “command visit” were 46 members of the New People’s Army (NPA) who initially surrendered, 35 of them from so-called “White Areas” and 11 from “Red Areas”.

The former rebels also surrendered various weapons.

“I am delighted that PRO4A has been achieving many gains to end the long-standing conflict between the communist terrorist groups and the government forces through the conduct of counter-white area operations, in collaboration with the Armed Forces of the Philippines,” Cascolan said.

Cascolan also encourages former soldiers to help the government to promote peace and order in the country and cooperate with the government because of many good programs that would allocate them.

The chief PNP also inspected the ongoing projects and quarantine facilities at the Regional Headquarters in Calabarzon.

On his part, Danao showed to Cascolan the Search and Rescue (SAR) equipment.

“In the time of this season, where typhoons and floods are prevalent, it is a must that we should be prepared not only with our human force but also on our equipment and facilities to aid immediately affected areas and communities during such incidents,” Cascolan said.

Cascolan noted that he is very grateful to the Calabarzon regional police for the programs it has contributed to the communities as well as the security throughout the region.
