DAVAO CITY – New Davao Region Police Regional Office (PRO-11) chief Brig. Gen. Benjamin Silo Jr. on Thursday vowed to further improve the police service in the region.
“The basic principle of leadership, especially in this kind of vocation is to continue whatever projects, programs, activities that will help improve the police service here in PRO-11. It is my obligation to further improve and innovate it,” Silo said in his speech during the turnover ceremony at Camp Quintin Merecido here.
He replaced Brig. Gen. Filmore Escobal who was reassigned to Area Police Command-Eastern Mindanao.
Silo emphasized the importance of courtesy among the PNP members and basic skills particularly in the investigation of high-profile cases.
He also affirmed PRO-11's support to the government's National Task Force to End the Local Communist Armed Conflict (NTF-ELCAC) and showed appreciation to the PRO's Revitalized-Pulis sa Barangay Program initiated by Escobal.
Silo reminded the men and women of PRO-11 on the mandate of PNP chief Gen. Dionardo Carlos not to engage in online sabong and other illegal activities.
He was born in Galas, Quezon City, and hails from Balanga, Bataan. He took his master's in Public Administration at Ateneo de Davao University and Philippine Christian University. (PNA)
