Seventeen police officers were honored during the commemoration of the 106th anniversary celebration of the Manila Police District (MPD) yesterday at its headquarters along United Nations Avenue in Ermita, Manila.
The MPD anniversary was actually on Jan. 9 but the celebration was moved to a later date as the Manila police was then busy securing the procession of the Black Nazarene.
Forty-nine individuals and non-government organizations received leadership awards, while three policewomen were given special awards.
The awardees were selected for their exceptional performance and outstanding contribution to the building of a more competent and responsive Manila police force, MPD director Senior Superintendent Danilo Abarzosa told The STAR.
Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Director Gen. Oscar Calderon, National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) chief Director Reynaldo Varilla and Manila Mayor Lito Atienza extolled the accomplishments of the MPD in their individual speeches during the program.
Abarzosa said this year’s anniversary celebration was made simple and austere in deference to victims of various calamities that hit the country last year.
