A hero worth remembering.

In the silent embrace of the night, PCpl Ryan Baculi whispered his final goodbye, his life a selfless testament to the unwavering pursuit of justice and safety for all.

Ryan as he is fondly called by intimates, paid the ultimate sacrifice past midnight yesterday, November 15, 2023, during an anti-drugs operation in Kinasangan, Cebu City.

Two notorious criminals shot him at point blank while Ryan and his team were performing their sacred duty of ridding Central Visayas of the illegal drugs manace. The assailants hurriedly escaped, with one sustaining injuries.

As his fellow officers, we pledge relentless efforts to bring these perpetrators to justice, honoring due process throughout. Our commitment to this pursuit is unwavering; we will not rest, we will not sleep until his heartless killers are held accountable.

Simultaneously, a thorough, impartial investigation is underway to ascertain the truth behind reports that barangay security personnel aided the suspects.

Though hardly eases the pain, PRO 7 is now looking after the bereaved family, their welfare being a priority. Benefits due to them will be afforded the soonest possible time.

Our hearts are heavy. We shed our collective tears of sadness.

Ryan, a bemedalled police officer, possessed of a calm demeanor but with an unparalleled tenacity in work, leaves behind a wife and five children. His untimely passing is a profound loss to us all.

PRO 7 remains steadfast in its battle against illegal drugs, now with even greater determination. We vow to continue this fight until the last criminal is brought to justice.

Farewell, Ryan. Rest assured, your legacy and sacrifice will never be forgotten. (PRO7-PIO)

There is still time to change this children, let us not give up being a role model to the future of our community.
