For demonstrating exemplary performance and acting beyond the call of duty, the City Government of Valenzuela led by Mayor Wes Gatchalian last Monday awarded Certificates of Commendation to several sidewalk clearing operations
personnel, traffic enforcers and police trainee at Valenzuela City Hall.
These public servants of the Valenzuela City Hall are all from the Traffic Management Division who showed exemplary performance last 21 July 2023. Sidewalk Clearing Operations Personnel Marlon Magalang, was asked for his assistance by the Goldilocks Bakeshop in Barangay Malanday to apprehend the two shoplifters in their shop.

With the help of the two traffic enforcers namely, Marcelino Macaya and Jomar Rodolfo, the two shoplifters were apprehended, and were later turned over at the Valenzuela City Police Station for proper disposition.

certificates to Magalang, Macaya, Rodolfo and David. Together with the certificate, they also received a token from
the City Mayor.
