Taiwanese national praises Moalboal police

A Taiwanese official was moved by the kindness of the Cebu Provincial Police Office’s (CPPO) personnel who helped a Taiwanese national with mental illness in Moalboal, Cebu last May 13.

Jerry Chih-Yung Wang, executive assistant to the representative of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in the Philippines, wrote Police Director General Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa and commended Moalboal Police Station Chief Jose Rovic Villarin and his men.

“Your assistance and cooperation are instrumental to the furtherance of friendship between us and we look forward to continuing our friendship in the future,” he said.

Villarin led his team in as- sisting a 34-year-old Taiwanese who is “intellectually disabled” to safety, after she went wild at a bus stop.

The police official accommodated her in the police station until her mother and sister came to pick her up.

Villarin deployed two policemen to escort the family to a psychiatrist in Cebu City.

CPPO Director Senior Supt. Eric Noble encouraged his personnel to do random acts of kindness (RAKS) every day to strangers, foreign or local.

RAKS is program that Noble started last April.

He wants police to do at least three kind gestures daily so they can form a closer bond with the community. /
