RIZAL — The Rizal Police Provincial Office (PPO) emphasized the importance of integrity, discipline, and accountability among police personnel during its traditional Monday flag-raising ceremony on November 9, 2026.
The ceremony was conducted under the leadership of Rizal PPO Provincial Director PCOL Atty. Eleazar R. Barber Jr., with the Budget and Fiscal Office (BFO), headed by PCPT Jessica D. Magallanes, serving as host.
In her message, Magallanes reminded police personnel that advancement in rank carries greater responsibilities and higher expectations in public service.
She stressed that promotion should not be viewed merely as recognition of an officer's achievements, dedication, and capabilities, but also as a commitment to undertake more demanding duties and demonstrate greater professionalism.
Magallanes further emphasized that higher positions require stronger integrity, discipline, accountability, and compassion toward the public.
She underscored that professional growth in the police service should not be measured solely by rank insignia or positions held, but by the quality of service delivered to communities.
The Rizal PPO said the ceremony reinforced its commitment to unity, professionalism, and responsible law enforcement while encouraging personnel to uphold the values of honest and dedicated public service.
