Camp BGen Vicente P Lim – Manila Police
District Director PBGEN Vicente D Danao, Jr., was named as the Police Regional
Office CALABARZON’s new Regional Director replacing the outgoing Regional Director
PBGEN Edward E Carranza.
In a Turn-Over Ceremony held this afternoon at
Camp BGen Vicente P Lim Grandstand presided by the Officer-In-Charge of the
Philippine National Police, PLTGEN Archie Francisco F Gamboa, the new Regional
Director, PBGEN Danao underscored his marching order to purge and discipline
erring and scalawag personnel. “I would like to immediately implement ‘OPLAN
LITIS’ to go after these personnel.
‘LITIS’ stands for LINISIN TIWALAG AT SCALAWAG
na hanay sa kapulisan, PBGEN Danao further said that this should start from the
PNP’s own backyard. “Hindi lng paglilinis ng kriminal ang ating gagawin, isama
na din natin ang paglilinis ng basura sa ating mismong kabahayan,” he said.
Born in Nueva Vizcaya in
1967, General Danao entered the Philippine Military Academy and graduated as a
member of ‘SAMBISIG’ Class of 1991.
PBGEN Danao with the rank
of a lieutenant was first assigned as junior officer of the Regional Special
Action Force (RSAF) in Surigao del Sur in 1991. In 1995, he was transferred to
Davao City Police Office as Commander of the Special Weapons and Tactics
(SWAT).
Prior to his assignment as the Director of Manila Police
District, he served as the Chief of Police of Davao City alongside then Mayor
Rodrigo Roa Duterte until 2016. He made a mark in Davao and Manila because of
his disciplinarian and sterling leadership. “This is a stern warning to police
na matitigas ang ulo, opisyal man o Non-Commissioned Officer, hindi ako
magdadalawang isip, ako mismo ang kakatay sa inyo. Kung gaano tayo kahigpit sa
kalaban at kriminal, dapat mas mahigpit tayo sa ating hanay na scalawag in
uniform,” he said.
With the existing Internal
Cleansing Program of the PNP, the new regional Director also emphasized that
the purging of misfits and scalawags should start from the bottom. He said that
the turn-over of command will be the ‘ERA’ of change.
He described the acronym
ERA which stands for being the Example, Responsible and Accountable police
officers in all their actions.
“Para naman sa mga kriminal ito ay
hindi lang warning, hindi lang babala kundi isang reminder sa mga ayaw magbago
ng kanilang buhay. Kami ay narito para habulin kayo and extend full arm of the
law in going against you. And if you will fight it out against any law enforcer
definitely your birthday will be change,” he warns.
Meanwhile,
the outgoing Regional Director PBGEN Edward E Carranza who will assume post as
the Director, Logistics Support Service thanked the entire personnel of Police
Regional Office CALABARZON as he presented the accomplishment during his watch.
“I am leaving my post as Regional Director of PRO CALABARZON in high spirits
knowing that this region is in good hands with PBGEN Vicente Danao at the
steering wheel,” PBGEN Carranza as he bids goodbye.
In
return, PBGEN Danao assures the public that he will do everything to match if
not surpass the achievements of the outgoing Regional Director. “I encourage
everyone to toe the line and that will be the gauge of peace and order in
CALABARZON. Let us work hand in hand and join our President Rodrigo Duterte in
his program to fight criminality, corruption, and illegal drugs,” General Danao
in his closing message.
PLTGEN
Archie Francisco F Gamboa, Officer-in-Charge of the Philippine National Police who
presided said Turn- over called for unity among the personnel of the Philippine
National Police. “To the men and women of PRO4A, you are blessed that the
incoming and outgoing Regional Director were both of good service reputation
coupled with outstanding educational achievements. We expect that there is
always another storm that will come our way. Let us keep an eye on what our next
plans to withstand these trials,” he said.
