POLICE personnel from the Benguet 1st Mobile Force Company and those from the Bokod Sulphur Spring Multipurpose Cooperative (BSSMC)-Amlipay Chapter had to walk far just to reach the house of elderly siblings Nanay Lorena and Nanay Celia in Sitio Cayapas.
Nanay Celia is a stroke patient, which prompted police officers to provide her and her sister assistance such as rice, grocery items, and solar panels as most houses in the area had no electricity.
The policemen also planted fruit trees in the backyard of the siblings as part of their “Adopt a Tree” project, leaving it to Nanay Lorena to take care of them.
Philippine National Police (PNP) Chief Police General Guillermo Eleazar cited these big-hearted Benguet police officers who provided solar panels and other kinds of assistance to the two elderly sisters in Buguias, Benguet and lauded their genuine service and unconditional act of kindness.
He called on other police personnel to conduct similar initiatives to help more civilians in small communities.
“Abutin natin ang ating mga kababayan na nasa mga liblib na lugar na marahil hindi agad nabibigyan ng tulong. Tayo na ang magbigay at maghatid ng tulong sa kanila bilang parte ng ating mandato na magsilbi sa bayan,” Eleazar said.
“Sana ay marami pa kayong matulungan sa inyong mga isinasagawang proyekto,” PGen. Eleazar added.
