The POPSP is a three year comprehensive action plan of the barangay that focuses on the measures to protect the community, establish order and prevent the increase of crimes.

PD Bactad encouraged the participants to share the knowledge they acquired during the seminar and use it in accomplishing their plans. "Ang activity po na ito ay hindi lang para sa inyo; ito po ay parte ng inyong sinumpaang tungkulin na mapabuti ang inyong barangay, ang inyong bayan at ng buong Zambales", said PD Bactad.
Likewise, the formulation of the Gender and Development (GAD) Plan was discussed highlighting the vital points in the planning process.
The activity is in line with the continuous efforts of the national government to attain a safe, secure, peaceful and gender responsive community.
