Masbate PNP:
Christmas and New Year celebration in Masbate generally peaceful
The Christmas and New Year
celebration here in Masbate is generally peaceful as Masbate Police Provincial
Office has recorded only six minor incidents, resulting to injuries to victims
of firecrackers during the Christmas and New Year revelry.
Meanwhile, the Office recorded
zero incidents on stray bullet and indiscriminate firing.
This could be attributed to the
massive information drive and campaign initiated by the different government
agencies on the need to regulate or avoid the use of firecrackers and other
pyrotechnic devices like the PNP and the Department of Health.
Also, playing an important role
in the decrease of incidents involving indiscriminate firing is the
simultaneous sealing and marking of firearm muzzles of PNP personnel of Masbate
PPO on December 27, 2011, personally supervised by Police Senior Superintendent
HERIBERTO OBIAS OLITOQUIT, to ensure that no member will attempt to use his or
her issued firearm as part of merry-making during New Year revelry.
On this note, the Provincial
Director of Masbate Police Provincial Office is thankful to all those who did
their part in making Masbate peaceful during the celebration of Christmas and
New Year, especially the Local Government Units (LGU), the Religious Sectors,
the Business Sectors, the Non-Government Organizations, the Community and the
Tri-Media.
He said their collective and
individual efforts immensely contributed to lessen the incidents and injuries.
Moreover, the Provincial
Director of Masbate PNP is commending the entire police force in the province
for a job well done, putting aside personal convenience and comfort in exchange
for a peaceful, safe and injury-free Christmas and New Year celebration.
