PNP gives scholarship grant to Isla Sison residents
By Analiza S. Macatangay
NAGA CITY, Jan. 23 (PIA) -- Ten youngsters from Sitio Sagrada Familia were given scholarship grants this morning during the PNP Command Conference held here today.
PNP Bicol Director Police Chief Superintendent Clarence V. Guinto announced the good news before the local city officials, PNP personnel and barangay residents who attended the said activity.
Guinto said that the recipients will receive free education from their elementary years until they graduate from college. This will be sponsored by the Ateneo Batch ’75. The police officer said that the recipients were also recommended by the City Social Welfare and Development Office.
Aside from the scholarship grants, PNP officers also spearheaded the Medical and Dental mission which was participated in not just by barangay residents but also by members of the Muslim Community. A supplemental feeding for the children also followed.
PS/ Supt. AbdulKadil M. Guialani , OIC PNP-City Director said that he was overwhelmed by the support and participation of the Muslim community in the said activity.
“I am touched with the overwhelming support that our brothers have shown us today, particularly our Muslim brothers. If only other community can see this, I am sure that they will be inspired by this convergence and would emulate this good deed where Muslims and Christians can co-exist peacefully and harmoniously,” Guialani said in an interview.
Pursuant to the directives of Naga City Mayor John Bongat as the newly installed OIC of the Naga City Police Office Guialani vowed that he will work for the eradication of illegal drugs in the city. To prove that his leadership is serious in its campaign to transform Sitio Sagrada Familia to a drug-free haven, he suggested that this year’s command conference be conducted here, of which Guinto responded positively.
Sitio Sagrada Familia, formerly known as Isla Sison was notoriously known as a venue for rampant illegal drugs vending. The place has been a regular subject of police entrapment operations during the past years believing that couriers and pushers alike are taking refuge here.
Barangay Penafrancia Punong Barangay Jeffrey Moralde also expressed his appreciation to the leadership of Guialani and the support of Guinto, saying that this might be the sign that Sitio Sagrada Familia will eventually find the peace and tranquility it was looking for.
“This is the first time that this kind of attention and trust is given to the community. I am positive that this endeavor will not be put to waste. I am seeking for the cooperation and help of each member of this community to put an end to the illegal drug trade and live peacefully in the folds of law,” Moraleda said.
Guialani is also confident that all of their efforts will bear fruit and their campaign against illegal drugs will finally find its victory. (MAL/LSM-PIA5/Camarines Sur)

VIRAC, Catanduanes, Jan 23 (PIA) -- The Sangguniang Panlalawigan (SP) of the province of Catanduanes has passed a resolution recognizing the achievements of former governor Vicente M. Alberto who passed away last December, 2012.
The resolution which was sponsored by Provincial Board Member Edwin T. Tanael aims to recognize former Alberto’s accomplishments in the field of foreign service, governance, and public service and to install upon him the honor of being called “The Father of Barangay” in Catanduanes.
Elected in 1967 as the fifth governor of the island province after the assassination of his elder brother Juan M. Alberto, he was reelected twice in 1971 and in 1980. His term was cut short by the EDSA revolution in 1986.
Former gov. Vicente, the longest-serving governor of Catanduanes has been known in the province as the pioneer of grassroot diplomacy having conducted Branagay “Pulong-pulong” long before the enactment of the Local Government Code of 1991.
It was also during the term of Gov. Vicente that important issues and concerns of barangay folks were heard and given action by the provincial government thru ‘pulong-pulong’.
He was also instrumental in the liberation of Catanduanes from the Japanese forces in during World War II, and earned the distinction of being called the ‘Father of Virac’.
Alberto placed 13th in the CPA board exam in 1948 while still an undergraduate and became a commercial attaché at various Philippine embassies abroad from 1956 to 1965.
He was thrice named outstanding governor and served for many years as RDC chair in Bicol. (MAL/EAB-PIA5/Catanduanes)
