PNP-HPG MARKS 68 YEARS OF SERVICE AND EXCELLENCE AS GUARDIANS OF THE HIGHWAYS
Dateline Kamuning:
The Philippine National Police Highway Patrol Group (PNP HPG) commemorated its 68th Founding Anniversary on May 5, 2023, in fitting ceremonies at the PNP Multi-Purpose Center, Camp BGen Rafael T Crame, Quezon City.
PNP Chief, Police General Benjamin C Acorda, Jr, led the
group's formal ceremony alongside PBGEN Raul L Bargamento, Director, HPG.
The ceremony recognized the contributions of various
stakeholder groups, including individual personnel of the PNP HPG, for their
exemplary and meritorious performance of duty.
PNP Chief Acorda emphasized the group's crucial role in
maintaining peace, order, and security on the nation's roads. He commended the
officers and personnel for their hard work and unwavering commitment to serve
with efficiency and professionalism, which he recognized as the backbone of the
PNP-HPG.
General Acorda reminded everyone not to be complacent and
urged the group to strive for excellence continually. He emphasized the
importance of remaining vigilant, continuously enhancing skills and knowledge,
and always upholding the highest standards of professionalism and integrity.
The theme for this year's celebration was "Ang
Inyong Patnubay at Kaagapay Tungo sa Paglunsad ng Payapa at Ligtas na
Lansangan."
The PNP HPG was established in 1955 as the country's
first and only traffic control and road safety-focused law enforcement group.
The group was the brainchild of Ramon Magsaysay, the 7th President of the
Philippines, after a fatal car crash 68 years ago that claimed the lives of two
statesmen close to him.
