In the Philippines, Presidential Proclamation No. 764 designates July as Police Community Relations (PCR) Month to foster closer police-community interaction for addressing peace and order issues. The PCR Month presents a perfect opportunity to enhance the collaboration between the police and the community.
On July 12, 2024, in honor of 29th Police Community Relations (PCR) Month, under the guidance of Aklan Police Provincial Office Provincial Director PCOL VICTORINO E ROMANILLOS JR, in partnership with Philippine Dental Association Aklan Chapter led by its president Dr. Chastie Amira Cabral, the Police Advisory Group for Police Transformation and Development (PAGTPD), Aklan Baghay, Inc., and the Regional Medical and Dental Unit 6, the Rotary Club of Metro Kalibo (D3850) under the leadership of current president Jess Fernandez, joined forces to provide free dental services to our deserving police forces.
The joint endeavor has positively impacted more than 60 individuals by offering the following services:
- Oral Examination: 63
- Oral Prophylaxes (Cleaning): 52
- Extraction: 6
- Restoration (Pasta) : 24
During the dental mission, the club entered into a Tripartite Memorandum of Understanding with Aklan Police Provincial Advisory Group, and Aklan Baghay, Inc., as our strategic partner on Peace Building and Conflict Prevention, and likewise, a Renewal of MOU with the long time partner in service, the Philippine Dental Association Aklan Chapter.Â
The PDA Aklan has been a key partner in Disease Prevention and Treatment through our annual dental missions. Our club has contributed equipment and medications, and we are deeply thankful for their ongoing support.
A big thank you to our service partners for the incredibly successful collaboration, we are always happy to be of service. Likewise, we are grateful for the additional support from R&R Newtech Dental Corporation (Manila), as well as our media partners, Kalibo Cable TV Network, and Love Radio.
The event was co-organized in support of Peace Building and Conflict Prevention, which is one of the Area of Focus outlined by Rotary International. It was held at the Multi-Purpose Hall of the Aklan Police Provincial Office at Camp Pastor Martelino in Brgy. New Buswang, Kalibo, Aklan. More photos <click here> Follow us on Facebook <click here>
