Acting Iloilo City Police Director Henry F. Biñas (2nd from Right) personally awards youths from one of his sports projects.

Central Philippine University students, faculty, and staff were invited by the Iloilo City Police Office to join in a “walk for a cause” activity on Saturday June 2, 2018. Centralian Alumni Police S/Supt. Henry F. Biñas, Acting City Director said, “It is a 2-km walk for a cause dubbed as ‘Lakat Bulig sa Tropa,’ which will start at 5:00 AM from the Iloilo Provincial Capitol, Iloilo City to Esplanade in Barangay San Rafael, Mandurriao, Iloilo City”.

The “Lakat Bulig sa Tropa” is a Disaster Risk Reduction and Management advocacy of Iloilo City Police Office through the Iloilo City Advisory Council for Police Transformation and Development Project: Pagtib-ong sa Biktima sang Trahedya. It aims to assist PNP personnel who are victims of natural or man-made disasters.

On May 6, 2018, a member of the PNP assigned in La Paz, Iloilo City Police Station, SPO2 Richard N. Gerafusco, lost his wife and son and three other members of his family in a fire incident. This is why the Iloilo City Police Office is requesting for moral and/or financial support.

A minimal registration fee of PhP50.00 is required for participants in the walk for a cause, and a T-shirt will be available for PhP200.00 only.
