PAGADIAN CITY: The command group, directorial
staff, unit commanders and senior PNCO’s of PRO-9 held its New Year courtesy
call to its regional director, Police C/Supt. Edgar Orduña Basbas, last Jan. 12.
As part of the customs and
traditions of the PNP, various chiefs of the National support Units based in
Zamboanga Peninsula were also present.
The said activity was held at the
Multi-Purpose Hall of PRO-9, Camp Colonel Romeo Abendan in Zamboanga City.
Basbas, together with the members
of the Command Group pleasantly received the New Year’s callers and wished his
men for a fruitful 2015 and told them to render more untiring efforts for this
year’s success.
The traditional New Year’s Call is
a yearly traditional activity wherein all members of the command group,
directorial, and special staffs, provincial and city directors, and other
senior officers of regional headquarters pay a call to the regional director.
The PNP here said it also serves as
an opportunity for senior officers and unit commanders to “reinvigorate their
commitment to public service” after a year of hard work.
Basbas stressed that 2015 marks
another challenge to the command and it is not hard if policemen work together
to attain the assigned tasks.
He also said that the essence of
the New Year’s Call is not only to renew our commitment but to strengthen commitment
towards family, friends and the community.
The PNP regional director then urged
each policeman to continue to work harder.
