QUEZON CITY, Sept. 22 (PIA) – The Philippine National Police (PNP) yesterday received some 200 new motorbikes from the Public Safety Savings and Loan Association, Inc. (PSSLAI).

“This is an expression of the PSSLAI’s responsiveness to needs of PNP, as former police officers, and a recognition of the sacrifices of our policemen, especially those serving at the frontlines,” PNP chief Director General Ricardo C. Marquez said.

Marquez joined Interior and Local Government Secretary Mel Senen S. Sarmiento in receiving the Php26 million-worth of donation from PSSLAI, represented by its Acting Chairman Retired Police Director Lucas M. Managuelod.

The new motorbikes, with helmets and jackets, will further boost the mobility of patrollers in NCRPO’s five districts and Regional Public Safety Battalions (RPSB).

The PNP chief expressed his gratitude to PSSLAI and assured them of better performance through intensified implementation of patrolling in the National Capital Region.

Patrolling through Oplan Lambat-Sibat is the PNP’s rallying weapon against criminality that brought impressive results with the help of police force and support of different stakeholders.

Aside from the new motorbikes, PSSLAI also donated over Php2.1 million-worth of financial assistance for the renovation of the 2nd floor of Kiangan Hall located in Camp Crame. Likewise, over Php 500 thousand-worth of office equipment were also donated for the refurbished hall.
