DEFINITELY, they are not just your usual cops.
Behind that iron hand keeping peace and order, Bohol cops also have that malleable heart that melts for our kids who would otherwise go to school barefoot.
While celebrating Police Community Relations (PCR) Month in July, officers and men of the Bohol Police Provincial Office led by Provincial Director Rodolfo A. Llorca went a bit further to hand out slippers and school supplies to young kids in rural areas.
According to PCR officer PCinspector John Gano, Camp Dagohoy has been collecting at least a pair of slippers and school supplies from more than a thousand integral men in the force to advance police relations.
The slippers go to young kids whom, police officers and men believe would be motivated to go to school if given the comfort of school supplies and slip-ons.
The activity is the BPPO’s second in a series, the first was in San Miguel town, relates PCInsp. Gano during the recent Talakayan sa Isyung Pulis (TSIP).
In San Isidro last week, Mayor Jacinto Naraga warmly welcomed the police troops led by PSSupt. Llorca during a slipper and school supply distribution ceremony to elementary school pupils of Barangay Cambansag, Cansague Norte and Abehilan at the Cambansag Primary School grounds, says San Isidro Municipal Information Officer Eric Jinne Flor.
“It’s a heart-warming scene, children and even young mother try on the new slippers, elation warmly painted in their faces,” a police-woman shares her experience during a distribution ceremony last July 16.
“How would a stonehearted cop feel when a kid tells him she will not wear the slippers yet, so it wont be dirtied, as she shows a badly dilapidated pair of worn out slippers she is wearing?” she asks.
The activity is also in support of the Oplan Balik Eskwela 2010, a program of the Department of Education and is widely supported by the Bohol Provincial Police Office (BPPO) and in partnership with the municipal government.
To expand police relations, PD Llorca even asked his wife to go with them on the ceremony in San Isidro, some 40 kilometers from Tagbilaran. (PIA-Bohol)

Bohol leaders lobbied to Pres. Benigno Simeon C. Aquino III for the realization of the Panglao-Bohol International Airport Development Project (PBIADP).
The Provincial Development Council (PDC), Provincial Peace and Order Council (PPOC), Sangguniang Panlalawigan (SP), and League of Municipalities of the Philippines (LMP)-Bohol have passed a joint resolution earnestly requesting President Aquino to carry on the project.
Governor Edgar Chatto had earlier moved for passage of said resolution.
Chatto, who serves concurrently as PDC Chair, will preside over the first PDC meeting later this week in his residence in Del Carmen Weste, Balilihan on Thursday in time for the town fiesta.
An update on the completion of the Panglao International Airport project is certain to be one of the “priority concerns” that Chatto intends to discuss with the new set of provincial officials, including the three congressmen.
Former Governor and now Rep. Erico Aumentado was in Manila last week to deliver a copy of the PDC resolution to the Office of the President in Malacañang.
He said he had also asked the most probable next Speaker of the House, Quezon City 4th District Rep. Feliciano Belmonte of the ruling Liberal Party, for his help in endorsing the project with President Aquino.
The Panglao Airport, has been in “extremely long gestation, having taken over 20 years to get into the verge of completion – from conceptualization to the expected implementation next year.
In the resolution, the PDC full council pointed out that the necessity for having the international airport in Panglao Island “has long been expressed across many sectors and stakeholders of the Boholano community, and its urgency is evidenced not just by the exponentially increasing tourist arrivals…, but also by the congestion of passengers and planes in the current Tagbilaran Airport, as well as its hazardous landing conditions, being located right in the midst of residential and commercial districts.”
The PDC also noted that the project was already about to be awarded to a winning bidder in the last days of the Arroyo administration and Chatto’s provincial administration intends to get the assurance of President Aquino’s support to have it continued. (PIA-Bohol)
