On the other hand, PDEA Nueva Ecija was represented by IAIII Jenlyn Abejuela. Lastly, NEPPO was represented by PLTCOL Julius Caesar Manucdoc, PCPL Joanna Marie Tawatao, and PCPL Jefferson Pascual.
To start, LGOO V Lapitan discussed the POC indicators. He then presented the pre-assessed scores of the CPOCs and MPOCs per indicator and asked for the concurrence of the PAT. Upon the approval of the body, the PAT proceeded to discuss and give inputs on the pillars of the POC before adjourning the activity.
The POC audit was conducted to foster a stronger collaboration between the LGU, the law enforcement agencies, and the community in the fight against criminality, illegal drugs, insurgency, and violent extremism towards the creation of an enabling environment where peace and order and public safety activities are implemented effectively.
