Belying claims made by some sectors that a rift is growing
between the military and police personnel, 300 members of the Southern Luzon
Command and their law enforcement counterparts locked arms in an show of unity
at Camp Guillermo Nakar in Lucena
City
The event was called AFP-PNP Fellowship Day and was held at
the SOLCOM grandstand.
Spearheading the 10 a.m. activity were Southern Luzon
Command head Major Gen. Ricardo R. Visaya, Quezon Province Police commander
Senior Supt. Ronaldo Genaro E. Ylagan and SOLCOM chief-of-staff Col. Samuel B.
Gayongorsa.
"SOLCOM and the PNP in Southern
Luzon remain loyal to the Constitution, the Commander-in-Chief and
the Chain of Command," Visaya said.
In the same event, Visaya and ranking SOLCOM officers recognized
the heroism of the 44 fallen Special Action Force members.
"There are groups who want to divide the AFP and PNP,
but in SOLCOM, we are one," Gayongorsa said.
After the program, soldiers and policemen interlocked arms
while singing "Pilipinas Kong Mahal" to show that the relationship of
the PNP and SOLCOM remains strong.
This was followed by a boodle fight.
"There is no need for loyalty check in our rank,"
Ylagan said.
"With the AFP, we remain committed in our mandate in
enforcing peace, law and order in the province," he added.
On issues of a coup, Visaya affirmed that there will be no
coup in SOLCOM's area.
"If there's someone who will attempt to recruit
soldiers, the latter have been ordered to immediately arrest the former,"
he concluded.
