TINOC, Ifugao, Dec. 2 (PIA) - - The Ifugao Police Provincial Police Office (IPPO) through its outreach activities recently served more than 140 individuals here and in Asipulo town.

The IPPO’s Women and Children Protection Desk section in partnership with the Asipulo Municipal Police Station reached out 100 parents and children at barangay Pula providing them with relief packs, clothings and hygiene kits. They also conducted lecture about the rights of children and anti-rape.

Police Captain Juliet Nalidong said they also conducted parlor games for children in another venue with matching prizes and snacks which the attendees enjoyed in line with the celebration of National Children’s Month.

Meanwhile, the Ifugao Police Provincial Mobile Force Company (IPMFC) led by Lt. Col. Ayson Tenenan distributed relief goods to 48 selected residents of barangays Danggo and Luhong in Tinoc town during the Retooled Community Support Program (RCSP) Ugnayan sa Barangay assemblies.

The assorted goods were funded from donations of police personnel and the Office of the Provincial Governor is in line with IPMFC’s “Pulis ko, Concern Sa Sitio Ko” program.

An IPMFC team also oriented the residents of Gumhang, Tinoc on anti-terrorism, illegal drugs and its Patrol Plan 2020 and distribution of relief goods to selected beneficiaries.

“The information drive is part of our pro-active measure on the RCSP stage. This is to ensure that the communist terrorist groups will not be given the chance to re-establish their deceptive recruitment tactics, and other lawless activities. Let the genuine service of the PNP be felt even in the remote areas of the province especially during crisis and calamities,” the IMPFC explained.

This will be a continuous activity in line with IPMFC’s mandate to implement Executive Order 70 or the whole of nation approach to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (ELCAC) thru the RCSP.
