CAMP OLIVAS, City of San Fernando, Pampanga – The Police Regional Office 3 (PRO3) swiftly mobilized personnel and resources to conduct relief operations across flooded areas in Bataan, Bulacan, Nueva Ecija, and Pampanga.

The move was in response to the severe flooding triggered by typhoon “Crising,” “Dante,” and “Emong,” as well as the southwest monsoon or habagat,

Rescue teams, composed of personnel from various police provincial offices, partnered with local government units and disaster response agencies, were deployed  to distribute food packs, drinking water, hygiene kits, and essential supplies to affected families.

PRO3 also helped in the evacuation of residents from low-lying areas and ensured the security of evacuation centers.

PRO3 director Brig. Gen. Ponce Rogelio Peñones  Jr.  emphasized the commitment of the police to serve beyond law enforcement.

“In times of crisis, we go where we are needed most. Anchored on the three pillars of our PNP chief Gen. Nicolas D. Torre III, particularly on swift and responsive public service, we ensure that our personnel are among the first to respond, bringing hope, relief, and reassurance to our communities,” Peñones said.

He added that the initiative is part of the PNP’s continuing effort to build public trust and reinforce its presence as a reliable partner in community welfare and disaster response.
