WHOLE-OF-NATION APPROACH. Tumauni Police Station succesfully conducted its Kapihan on January 30, 2020 at the Sierra Madre range Barangay Camasi in Tumauini, Isabela.

TUGUEGARAO CITY, Cagayan, Feb. 10 (PIA) – It’s literally a ‘Kapihan’ between the police station personnel and the community members after all!

The Project Kapihan is a one stop shop activity of the Tumauni Police Station dubbed as “Talakayan ng Mamamayan at kaPulisan para sa Seguridad ng Bayan.”

During 'Kapihan', personnel of the Tumauni Police Station thru the leadership of Police Major Eugenio L. Mallillin go to the community early in the morning to have a coffee date literally with the members of the community particularly barangay officials, purok leaders, Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) officials and barangay tanods while having casual dialogue.


Unlike other dialogues, the Kapihan is conducted either under trees, in an open space in front of one of the attendees, or any area that would not require complicated logistical concerns.

Major Mallillin said during Kapihan, Tumauini PS personnel initiate a conversation on issues and concerns with the residents in a certain barangay empowering them to get involved in providing services for a better community.

Among the topics discussed during Kapihan are: the intentions of the Executive Order 70 and Retooled Community Support Program of the Department of the Interior and Local Government in Ending the Local Communist Armed Conflicts; RA 9262 or the Anti-Violence Against Women and their Children Act of 2004; RA 9165 or the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002) and its salient provisions; DO’s and DON’T’s of First Responders; Citizen’s Arrest; Crime Scene Preservation; CATA (Community Anti-Terrorism Awareness; and Barangay Justice System.

“We also currently amplifying yung EO 70 or the ELCAC and the RCSP, in a casual manner of explaining yung root causes and how the PNP and LGU can provide basic services for better appreciation sa purpose nito [project],” said Mallillin.

The activity was also a venue for the police station to inform the attendees on the different activities and programs of the PNP in their community such as Tumauini Batang Henyo, 2nd Henyong Basketball League for a Cause, and "Bola Kontra Droga at Terorismo."

For his part, Police Colonel Mariano C. rodriguez, Isabela Police Provincial Office Director said thsi initiative of the Tumauini Police Station should be replicated by all COPs.

The Kapihan usually starts at 5:00 am and ends at 8:00 am. (MDCT/PIA-2)
