The PROCOR Regional Director, PBGEN DAVID K PEREDO, JR., led the men and women of the Police Regional Office Cordillera (PRO COR) in welcoming Atty. Julius D. Torres, the Regional Election Director of the Commission on Elections Cordillera (COMELEC-CAR), during his visit at Camp Major Bado Dangwa in La Trinidad, Benguet, on July 17, 2023.
As the Guest of Honor and Speaker of the Distinguished Visitor’s Program, Dir. Torres was received by PLTCOL VIVIAN B PACLIBON, the Acting Chief of the Regional Information and Communication Technology Management Division (RICTMD), and was accorded a traditional welcome dance performed by cultural dancers of PRO COR.
As a highlight of the program, PBGEN PEREDO JR., and Director Torres led the awarding of PNP Medals to eight (8) PROCOR cops with exemplary contributions to the achievement of PROCOR’s plans and programs.
In his message, Dir. Torres expressed his gratitude for the integrity shown by the men and women of the PROCOR, which resulted in the peaceful conduct of elections for the past years. Thus, with the help of PROCOR cops, the upcoming Sangguniang Kabataan and Barangay Elections (BSKE) is expected to be peaceful as well.
“The Barangay Elections are manual elections; they’re not automated. That’s why it is most important to emphasize the role of the Philippine National Police as the primary agency in charge of the peace and order of the country, Dir. Torres said.
“I believe that we are partners; the COMELEC cannot run the election all by itself; we all need you; we need all our partner agencies; and it is through full cooperation and support among all of us that will ensure the success of this coming election, Dir. Torres added. (PRO COR-PIO)
