ILOILO CITY — Police Regional Office (PRO6) has assured readiness to deploy additional police forces to earthquake-affected areas in Mindanao should the need arise, as authorities continue to assess the situation on the ground.
PRO-6 Regional Director Police Brigadier General Randulf Tuaño said personnel from the Regional Public Safety Battalion (RPSB) may be dispatched to assist in disaster response operations and in maintaining peace and order in affected communities.
He said the possible deployment will depend on directives from the Philippine National Police (PNP) National Headquarters, which is closely coordinating response efforts across regional offices.
Tuaño emphasized the importance of inter-regional cooperation, especially during natural disasters such as earthquakes, which strike without warning and often require rapid mobilization of resources and manpower.
The PRO-6 is continuously monitoring developments in Mindanao while awaiting further instructions from the national headquarters regarding the possible deployment of additional police personnel.
