CABANATUAN CITY (PIA) — The Nueva Ecija Police Provincial Office (NEPPO) conducted a leadership turnover as Police Major Johnnyboy Itcay assumed the role of Acting Chief of Police of Bongabon Municipal Police Station, succeeding Police Major Alrick Erana.
Held at the Provincial Command Center War Room, Camp Gen. Mariano Llanera in Cabanatuan City, the Turnover of Command Ceremony was presided over by NEPPO Provincial Director Police Colonel Heryl “Daguit” Bruno.
The event featured the symbolic transfer of the station flag and property logbook, representing the formal handover of authority, responsibility, and accountability from the outgoing officer to his successor.
In his message, Bruno emphasized the continuity of the police mission despite leadership turnover.
“This ceremony serves as a reminder that our mission remains, even in the face of leadership changes. Our strength comes from unity, dedication to duty, and steadfast commitment to the oath we have taken. Let us continue to serve with honor, professionalism, and unwavering dedication. Together, we uphold the trust of the community and the integrity of our service,” he stated.
