CALAPAN CITY, Oriental Mindoro — A joint operation by the Police Regional Office MIMAROPA and the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) led to the arrest of an alleged forestry law violator and the seizure of ₱63,000.00 worth of suspected undocumented ipil lumber in Roxas, Palawan on June 15, 2026.

The operation was conducted by personnel of Roxas Municipal Police Station (MPS) under the leadership of PCPT Marvin R. Herrera, in coordination with the Provincial Intelligence Unit of Palawan Police Provincial Office, DENR-CENRO Roxas and the 2nd Palawan Provincial Mobile Force Company.

Recovered during the operation were fresh-cut ipil lumber with a total volume of 419.53 board feet and an estimated market value of ₱63,000.00.

Authorities said the individual failed to present the necessary permits and supporting documents for the possession of the recovered forest products, prompting the filing of appropriate charges for violation of Presidential Decree No. 705, otherwise known as the Revised Forestry Code of the Philippines.

The arrested individual and the recovered forest products were brought to Roxas MPS for proper disposition and further investigation.

Acting Regional Director PBGEN Christopher R. Dela Cruz commended the operating personnel and DENR counterparts for the successful operation, emphasizing the importance of sustained efforts to protect the region’s natural resources.

“Environmental protection is everybody’s responsibility. Through strong collaboration with our partner agencies, we will continue to enforce environmental laws and take appropriate action against activities that threaten our forests and natural resources,” PBGEN Dela Cruz said.

The MIMAROPA Top Cop added that PRO MIMAROPA remains committed to supporting government efforts aimed at preserving the environment and promoting the responsible use of natural resources for future generations.

CAMP BGEN EFIGENIO C. NAVARRO, Calapan City, Oriental Mindoro — Acting Regional Director PBGEN Christopher R. Dela Cruz underscored the values of leadership, accountability, and public trust as he administered the oath-taking and donning of ranks of two newly promoted Police Lieutenant Colonels during the Simultaneous Oath-Taking and Donning of Ranks Ceremony held at Hinirang Hall, Regional Headquarters Building, on June 15, 2026.

Promoted under the 2nd Quarter CY 2026 Police Lieutenant Colonel Continuous Promotion Program were PLTCOL Dhenies S. Acosta and PLTCOL Roel A. Tattao, whose advancement reflects years of dedicated service, professional competence, and commitment to the mission of the Philippine National Police.

The ceremony served not only as recognition of professional achievement but also as a reminder that higher rank carries greater responsibility to lead, inspire, and uphold the highest standards of public service.

In his message, PBGEN Dela Cruz emphasized that promotion is not merely an acknowledgment of past accomplishments but a renewed commitment to excellence, integrity, and servant leadership.

“Promotion is not a reward—it is a call to greater service. Every rank earned carries with it a higher expectation to lead with integrity, make sound decisions, and remain accountable to the people we are sworn to serve,” PBGEN Dela Cruz said.

The Acting Regional Director reminded the newly promoted officers that leadership is measured not by authority or position, but by character, example, and the ability to inspire trust among subordinates and the communities they serve.

“The rank of Police Lieutenant Colonel is more than a symbol of authority. It is a symbol of trust. It reflects the confidence of the organization in your ability to lead with character, uphold the rule of law, and make a positive difference in the lives of the people we serve,” PBGEN Dela Cruz emphasized.

The MIMAROPA Top Cop likewise encouraged the newly promoted officers to embrace their expanded responsibilities with humility, professionalism, and an unwavering commitment to ethical leadership.

Guided by its F.I.G.H.T. C.R.I.M.E.S. Framework, PRO MIMAROPA remains committed to building a culture of leadership excellence, accountability, and service-oriented policing by empowering personnel who exemplify professionalism, integrity, and dedication to duty.
