Philippine National Police (PNP) Chief Police Gen. Guillermo Eleazar commended police personnel of Santa Cruz, Davao del Sur who showed their appreciation for the hard work of day care pupils by donating medals for their graduation.
Eleazar said policemen of the Revitalized Pulis sa Barangay (R-PSB) in Barangay Saliducon turned over 25 medals to teacher Mayra Umaya Lopez of the Saliducon Daycare Center so she could give them to the kids on their graduation.
In donating the medals, the police personnel wanted to instill in the children the benefits of hard work and dedication. Teachers and parents expressed gratitude for the cops’ gesture.
Eleazar lauded the personnel of R-PSB Team Saliducon for the simple gesture which could inspire and develop in students a love for learning.
“Labas man sa tungkulin ng pulis ang pagbibigay ng medalya, ginawa pa rin ito ng ilang personnel sa Barangay Saliducon upang iparamdam sa mga kabataan na suportado nila ang tagumpay ng isang estudyante sa paaralan,” Eleazar said.
“Mga magulang din kaming pulis. Nakatataba ng puso para sa amin na makitang nagsusumikap ang isang bata sa paaralan, kaya’t nararapat lamang na kilalanin ito,” he added.
Eleazar said this act would also convey to the youth that PNP personnel can be trusted to look after their welfare and are true to their mandate to protect and serve. (PNP-PIO) – jlo
