Zambales Governor Hermogenes E. Ebdane, Jr., in coordination with DILG Provincial Director Armi V. Bactad carried out the People’s Law Enforcement Board Workshop Seminar for the newly appointed PLEB members of the thirteen (13) Municipalities of Zambales held at Prime Asia Hotel, Angeles City from July 23-25, 2014. The PLEB Seminar is an undertaking of the Provincial Peace and Order Council (PPOC).
Being the father of the Province of Zambales and with his deep concern to the men in uniform, Governor Ebdane stressed in his message the core value of discipline within the ranks and to find ways and means to improve the PNP system in Zambales. According to him, collective decision making must be undertaken for erring PNP personnel and regular briefing must be provided to direct some misguided members.

Pontanal, Regional Appellate Board Chairman Atty. Domingo P. Guanzon, Summary Dismissal Hearing Officer Atty. Arlene L. Castro-Co, and TSD Chief Atty. Bernardina Joven. A mock trial was also facilitated and actively participated by newly appointed PLEB members with the assistance of prominent lawyers in the Province in order to give insights and ideas on actual PLEB trials.
