"We will strengthen our collaboration with various law enforcement agencies, local government units and other stakeholders down to the grassroots level. We will not stop until our desired vision for a peaceful community is finally realized ," PSSUPT Jerry Bearis was quoted as saying. Bearis expressed his gratitude to the men and women who compose the PPDEU for a job well done. “These endeavors will never be made possible without the support of our Provincial Police Drug Enforcement Unit and Provincial Intelligence Branch, both headed by PSUPT Ruben Dalit Padua Jr. The exceptional performance and noteworthy contributions of his unit/office in the anti-illegal drug operations and other anti-criminality campaign, make OPLAN SINAGTALA a success,” Bearis added.
