Manila Mayor Honey Lacuna was inducted as the first lady member of the Manila Police District's Lakan-MPD, a prestigious group of Philippine National Police Academy alumni assigned in the city of Manila.

With the title, the Manila mayor vowed to do her best to give meaning to her being a "Lakan", saying that it means being a supreme leader that will lead in establishing the welfare of her own kind, responding to the needs of those falling under her jurisdiction and using her strength and courage to defend her community.

The mayor also praised MPD chief Brig. Gen. Andre Dizon as a public official who is always readily available and approachable, with a call for all those present to emulate him.

She also expressed gratitude to Dr. Arnold Pangan, Chief Manila Health Department who was also chosen as another new member of the LAKAN group for his dedication to service particularly during the pandemic period.

Lacuna said that she and all Lakan members have chosen the path of public service or rendering service for fellow Filipinos and the country in general.

She also conveyed her gratitude for being chosen as an honorary member of the LAKAN-MPD and said that she will work with them to ensure the safety and security of all Manileños.
