Gov Uy energizes RPSB teams with gen sets

DAVAO DE ORO, January 21 (PIA) - - Governor Jayvee Tyron Uy turned over 27 generator sets to the Davao de Oro Provincial Police Office (DDOPPO) for the Revitalized Police sa Barangay (RPSB) teams.

The generator set with 1,000 watts capacity each were among the equipment that were sanctified during the Blessing Ceremony on Monday.

According to the DDOPPO, the gen set will be distributed to the RPSB clusters, who are deployed in 77 geographically isolated and disadvantaged areas.

Governor Uy stressed that the portable equipment will help not just the RPSB teams in rolling out their peace initiatives, but also the communities which as of now, do not have proper source of electricity.

“Dinhi sa Davao de Oro, dili lang bantay-kalinaw ang kapulisan apan partner usab sila sa paglambo ug pagtubag sa panginahanglan sa atong conflict-affected areas,” the Governor said. (Here in Davao de Oro, our police is not just for protecting our people; they are also our partner in the development and in addressing the needs in our conflict-affected areas.)

Since 2020, RPSB teams have been delivering government programs to address the needs of the far flung barangays like initiating Mass Wedding, Mass Baptism, Distribution of Livelihood Packages, and re-growing activities.

Uy underscored that the through the concerted efforts of the Oplan Pagbabago Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict, including the RPSB, “hinay-hinay natong nakuha ang kumpyansa sa atong katawhan.” (we are slowly getting the confidence of the people.)

This is evident with the increasing number of leaders and members of the New People’s Army, who surrendered because they lost the support of the masses, Uy added. (PIA 11, Michael Uy)
