“The challenges we face as an institution may be multifaceted, but I have no doubt that together, we can overcome them. By working together, we can indeed make a difference in the lives of our fellow Filipinos and make our communities safer and more secure,” the PNP chief added.
The PSPG’s commitment to providing public safety and security has been demonstrated over the past 32 years, through its tireless efforts in ensuring the safety of government officials, foreign dignitaries, VIPs, and other special guests of the country.
