    PNP to probe possible hoarding of oxygen tanks and med supplies

    Philippine National Police (PNP) Chief, Police General Guillermo Lorenzo T Eleazar tasked police units and offices to investigate and be vigilant against the possible hoarding of oxygen tanks and other medical supplies amid the continuing threat of COVID-19.

    PGen Eleazar issued the order after Cebu City Vice Mayor Michael Rama called on the police and the Department of Trade and Industry to look into the supposed hoarding of oxygen tanks.

    “Makikipagugnayan at tulungan ang PNP sa DTI para silipin ang sinasabing hoarding ng oxygen tanks, lalo na sa Cebu City,” PGen Eleazar said.

    “I have directed the Cebu City Police and the Regional Criminal Investigation and Detection Group to closely coordinate with the DTI office in the area and look into this report of hoarding,” he added.

    PGen Eleazar said that PNP would also check if there are incidents of hoarding of oxygen tanks and other medical supplies in the National Capital Region and other parts of the country.

    “Pati dito sa Metro Manila ay aalamin din natin kung may mga ganitong insidente. Ngayon natin mas kailangan ng sapat na suplay ngoxygen tanks dahil sa tumataas na bilang ng COVID-19 cases dahil na rin sa mas nakahahawang Delta variant,” PGen Eleazar said.

  • LANDBANK, PNP launch mobile branch in Quezon City

    LANDBANK, PNP launch mobile branch in Quezon City

    The Land Bank of the Philippines (LANDBANK) is stepping-up its campaign on mobile banking as it inaugurates another LANDBANK Mobile Branch at the PNP Grandstand, Camp BGen. Rafael T. Crame in Quezon City on July 23, 2021, in partnership with the Philippine National Police (PNP).

    Housed in a six-wheeler truck, the LANDBANK Mobile Branch functions as a pop-up branch to service communities across the country with disrupted or limited access to banking services. These include areas affected by calamities and other unexpected events.

    As part of its efforts to bring more unbanked Filipinos into the formal banking system in support of the National Government’s financial inclusion agenda, the LANDBANK Mobile Branch will also be deployed in unbanked and underserved communities.

    LANDBANK brought its new Mobile Branch to the PNP’s national headquarters for one whole day to cater exclusively to the banking needs of the country’s police officers and personnel. A total of 10 PNP officers and 100 PNP recruits opened their own LANDBANK ATM and payroll accounts, respectively.

    PNP Chief Police General Guillermo Lorenzo T. Eleazar and Executive Vice President Julio D. Climaco, Jr., head of LANDBANK’s Branch Banking Sector, led the blessing and inauguration of the LANDBANK Mobile Branch.

    Joining them from the PNP were Police Lieutenant Generals Joselito Manalad V. Cruz, Israel Ephraim T. Dickson, and Dionardo B. Carlos; Police Major General Rodolfo S. Azurin, Jr; and Police Brigadier Generals Jose Melencio C. Nartatez, Jr. and Jason D. Ortizo.

    Also at hand were officials from LANDBANK led by Senior Vice President Ramon R. Monteloyola, head of the South National Capital Region Branches Group; Senior Vice President Marilou L. Villafranca, head of the North National Capital Region Branches Group; and Assistant Vice President Atty. Rosemarie J. Romillo, head of the Camp Crame Branch.
