The National Police Commission (NAPOLCOM) gave nine members
of the Philippine National Police (PNP) a special promotion for demonstrating
exceptional courage and gallantry at the risk of their lives in performing
their duty.
Interior and Local Government Secretary and NAPOLCOM
Chairman Ismael D. Sueno said the Commission en banc issued four separate
resolutions approving the special promotion to the next higher rank of PCInsp.
Nazier A. Halil of the Zamboanga
City Cavite Police; SPO4
Neil R. Garnace, SPO4 Anthony R. Barangan and SPO2 Gary C. Gomez of the Angeles City
NAPOLCOM Vice-Chairman and Executive Officer Atty. Rogelio
T. Casurao said Halil was promoted for his role in the rescue of the team
headed by PSSupt. Jose Chiquito M. Malayo of the Zamboanga City Police who were
captured on September 17, 2013 by a group of Muslim rebels at the height of the
Zamboanga siege. Despite being unarmed, Halil provided real-time situation on
the ground, braving all adversities in going to the location and helping the
rescue team reach a neutral ground.
Torralba, Cantano, Miñano and Ballaran were promoted for
their role in the police operation on May 27, 2014 against alleged members of
the “Alimango Robbery/Hold-up Group” who were planning to rob Evermore/High
Steel Lumber in Silang, Cavite
Garnace, Barangan and Gomez were given a higher rank for
surveilling and serving a search warrant to Taiwanese national Lin Chin Kuan
and two others on May 31, 2016 in Angeles City, which resulted in the seizure
of 45 gallons of liquid methamphetamine hydrochloride (shabu), a huge volume of
Controlled Precursors and Essential Chemicals (CPECs), oxygenator, suction,
pump, laboratory equipment and powder substances valued at Php1.372 billion.
The Commission likewise promoted Cabansag for
single-handedly resisting three robbers inside a passenger bus that was
traveling along the North Luzon Expressway on September 13, 2015. Cabansag and
his family were on board the bus. When one of the robbers was about to shoot a
passenger, he quickly introduced himself as a police officer. One of the
robbers fired at him but missed, prompting him to retaliate. He shot dead two
of the robbers, while the third escaped.
Casurao said the granting of special promotion is
specifically provided under Section 38 (b) of RA 6975, as amended by Section 33
(b) of RA 8551, which provides that any uniformed member of the PNP who has
exhibited acts of conspicuous courage and gallantry at the risk of his/her life
above and beyond the call of duty, shall be promoted to the next higher rank,
provided, that such acts shall be validated by the Commission based on
established criteria.
