La Trinidad cop pays tuition of crim student

LA TRINIDAD, Benguet –A generous and good hearted police officer of La Trinidad PNP recently shared his blessing to a Criminology student so the latter could complete his studies and reach his goal,
    Lt. Col. Rodelio Olsim, La Trinidad, police director bared this identifying the beneficiary as Greg Macedy Dinoc Jr, a 3rd year student, currently taking up Bachelor of Science in Criminology at King’s College of the Philippines.
    Olsim said while studying, Dinoc was working at La Trinidad Municipal Police Station, hired as Municipal Anti-Traffic Enforcer (MATE), yet doing clerical work in the station.
    MSg Dante Liwanag, assigned at La Trinidad Municipal Police Station, learned the story of Macedy, wherein, the latter was unable to enroll for the 2nd semester due to his uncovered tuition fees during the previous semester amounting to 17, 000.
    After knowing the student’s situation, Liwanag grabbed his wallet and handed over P17,000 right away to Dinoc  so he could pay his unpaid school fees.
    “Holding someone’s hand at his downfall without expecting something in return, is the real meaning of life and a principle to live on,” Liwanag said.
    Liwanag reportedly stands with his principle as a dedicated police officer serving and protecting people and being a good example to public servants.
    Olsim meanwhile said people needing police assistance may call 09101221505 or go direct to any police station in the town. -- NST

Cops carry sick person to hospital from far site

NATONIN, Mountain Province – Police officers here transported an individual requiring immediate medical attention to a hospital from a far-secluded area passing though forested area in an hour’s hike.   
    Police said they earlier received a request from a concerned citizen through the “Pulis sa Barangay” asking for help.
    The police officers immediately went to the location and helped in carrying the sick person in a traditional foot transport called “fulig.”
    Since the patient was living in a secluded barangay that could only be accessed by foot, responding cops and concerned citizens hiked for at least an hour before they reached the nearest road wherein a vehicle was waiting and brought the sick     person to the hospital.
    “Fulig” is the indigenous practice in Natonin that means to carry a sick or injured person using an improvised stretcher made up of a cloth fastened to a bamboo pole.
