Surigao City - P/Chief Insp Rudy Elandag, newly-installed chief
of Surigao City Police Office, has paid a courtesy call on port authorities on
Friday, February 14, to reinvigorate mutual cooperation on police and security
matters with the port police force of the Philippine Ports Authority.
Elandag
said his dialogue with port authorities was in line with the PNP’s mandate to
establish coordination and cooperation with authorities of vital government
installations to secure them from any possible terroristic activities.
“We
have discussed with port officials a more comprehensive security plan and police
coordination between the city police and the port police in the light of the
recent incident wherein a ‘home-made bomb’ was found on board a passenger bus
less than 100 meters away from the Port of Lipata. The said vehicle was
scheduled to be loaded on board a ferry boat in the said port later in the
afternoon but the timely advent of our city police saved the day for the
unsuspecting passengers and the public,” Elandag said.
Port
Manager Isidro Butaslac, Jr. thanked P/Chief Insp Rudy Elandag for his focus
and assistance in helping them secure their two major port facilities in
Surigao City.
“We’re
glad that Chief Inpector Rudy Elandag is very much concerned of the security
and safety of our riding public that uses ports as their entry and exit points.
With him and our port police headed by P/Superintendent Froilan Caturla, we can
look forward to a more safe and secure facilities in the Port of Lipata and
Port of Surigao,” Butaslac concluded.
