The National Police Commission Regional Office I (NAPOLCOM RO I) conducted reorganization and reorientation programs for People’s Law Enforcement Boards (PLEBs) in San Fabian and Mangaldan, Pangasinan, to strengthen local oversight of police conduct.

The San Fabian program was held on November 10, 2026. Participants included Municipal Administrator and retired Judge Jaime L. Dojillo Jr., PLEB members, Department of the Interior and Local Government personnel, and PLTCOL Roldan Cabatan, chief of the San Fabian Municipal Police Station.

In Mangaldan, attendees included Mayor Bona Fe De Vera-Parayno, members of the Sangguniang Bayan, PLEB representatives, Municipal Peace and Order Council officers, barangay chiefs, DILG personnel, and PLTCOL Perlito Tuayon of the Mangaldan Municipal Police Station.

Atty. Phillip Raymund S. Rivera, chair of NAPOLCOM RO I’s Police Regional Appellate Board 1, served as resource speaker at both activities. He discussed the legal basis, composition, powers and responsibilities of PLEBs, as well as procedures for handling administrative complaints against members of the Philippine National Police.

NAPOLCOM RO I said the programs are part of its continuing effort to help local governments organize and strengthen PLEBs, and to promote police accountability, transparency and professionalism.
