CEBU CITY July 3 (PIA) -- The Cebu Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCCI) lauded the Philippine National Police (PNP) in Cebu province and the entire Central Visayas for their efforts in maintaining peace and order that guarantee the security of lives and properties of the community and the business sector.

CCCI President Prudencio Gesta said the police play a vital role in improving the business climate that leads to the success of their business.

“The PNP’s efforts in ensuring peace and order would also mean security in investments may it be human, monetary and any other related resources for business,” said Gesta.

According to Gesta, peace and order is very crucial in promoting investors’ confidence in promoting Cebu as an ideal investment haven.

He likewise lauded the intensified measures of the PNP to thwart bank robberies and their relentless pursuit to jail criminals involved in bank heists and robberies of commercial establishments.

Gesta said the police’s anti-crime measures have been successful as evidenced by the declining cases of bank heists and other robberies involving business establishments.

Because of the hard work shown by the police in maintaining a peaceful climate, “the PNP can really expect the business sector of their full support in the implementation of every rule and regulation in order to ensure peace and order and security to lives and properties of the public,” said Gesta.

We are optimistic that we can strengthen the public-private partnership (PPP) between us. We rally for our men and women in the uniform service and maintain the highest level of connection with them. And we are very confident that the business sector will boost through this partnership, Gesta added.

Gesta was the guest speaker during the kick-off ceremony of the 17th Police Community Relations Month held at the Police Regional Office-7 in Cebu City with the theme “Mamayan at Kapulisan: Patuloy ang Ugnayan sa Higit na Ligtas, Mapayapa at Maunlad na Pamayanan.” (FCR/AYS-PIA7 CEBU)
