“Your active support made the ZSPPO a
Silver Eagle Awardee for the Compliance Stage under the PNP Patrol 2030. The achievement
that the unit received has uplifted the morale and motivation of the personnel and
enhanced their effective and efficient delivery of public safety services to
the community,” Nicolas proudly announced.
The PAC
conducts regular meetings and assessments of the programs and activities of the
PNP to determine if the performance indicators are achieved or not.
Meanwhile, Nicolas ordered his personnel
to support President Rodrigo R. Duterte’s all-out-war against illegal drugs.
“Tutulungan natin ang administrasyon
ni President Duterte sa pagpatupad ng kampanya laban sa illegal na droga,
kriminalidad at iba pa. Hindi lang ilang ito ordinaryong kampanya laban sa
druga kundi giyera laban sa droga!,” Nicolas urged.
(Let us support the administration
of President Duterte in its campaign against illegal drugs, criminality, and
others. This is not just an ordinary campaign against drugs, but war against
drugs)
President Duterte is starting to fulfil his most famous campaign promise: to suppress crime, drugs, and corruption in government in 3
to 6 months.
