Joint Bayanihan exercise in Region 1 successful

From the Philippine News Agency (Apr 10): Joint Bayanihan exercise in Region 1 successful

Joint forces of the Philippine National Police (PNP) and the Philippine Army (PA) successfully completed a Bayanihan team activity training with a simple graduation ceremony and culmination program held at the grandstand of Camp BGen Oscar M. Florendo, this city on Wednesday.

Of the 103 personnel who completed the special training, 65 are members of the Regional Public Safety Battalion 1 (RPSB1) and 38 are soldiers of the 81st IB.

As part of the peace development initiatives of the PNP and the PA, Police Chief Superintendent Roman Felix in his capacity as Regional Director of the PNP said the joint training is in support of the Internal Peace and Security Plan (IPSP) of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) which is expected to sustain peace, security and stability in local communities.

In his message, Major General Glorioso V. Miranda, Commander of the 7th ID, PA who served as guest of honor and speaker underscored the importance of collaboration of both the PNP and the PA to ensure proper response and successful operations. He also emphasized the significant participation of the local government units as prime movers of internal peace and security.

“The key to 'Bayanihan' is the blending of the ingredients in order to form a recipe. The ingredients of the entire recipe cannot be over simplified but the participation of the ingredients of this recipe is very important to attain our common denominator – peace, stability and security,” he said.

Miranda also gave a grade of above average to the graduates and even dared them that an outstanding grade of 100 percent shall be based on the satisfaction rating of the people they serve.

“The final indicator that this training is going to be successful at 100 percent is when the people we are mandated to serve and protect tell us that indeed they are going to be very happy,” he added.

For his part, Felix said Bayanihan is a continuation of the PRO1’s program of “winning the war without firing a single shot.”

The three-week training kick off on March 1, 2015 held at Bio, Tagudin, Ilocos Sur. Successful participants will be deployed as teams in different areas of concern covering the provinces of Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, La Union and Pangasinan.
