Banga Exec Mulls Police Station Building

By Boy Ryan Zabal

Chief Supt. Wilfredo Dulay, Sr., Philippine National Police (PNP) regional director, Region 6, welcomed Banga Mayor Antonio Maming’s proposal for a new site of the town’s police station.
The present PNP station is occupying the ground floor of Banga municipal town hall, with the Office of the Sangguniang Bayan and the Mayor’s Office in the second floor.
First-termer Mayor Maming said, in his inaugural speech on June 30 this year, the establishment of the town’s fire and police station building within three years will be prioritized. The proposed PNP building boasts of decent quarters for the policemen, police community relations office, customer service desks, women and children’s office, adequate inmate cells and restrooms. Maming stressed that his town, often regarded as "Banga the Beautiful," should have a new PNP building to enhance the delivery of police services to his constituents.
Banga is home to the Aklan State University (ASU) main campus.
Along with Mayor Maming on July 30, Dulay conducted an ocular inspection of the proposed site adjacent to the municipal town hall. He also briefed the 22-strong local policemen headed by Insp. Dino Ogasi.
Earlier, Dulay inaugurated the newly-completed P2.5-million Madalag PNP station with Aklan Gov. Carlito S. Marquez and Madalag Mayor Rex Gubatina, which coincided with the 59th year of separation of Madalag from the town of Libacao.
The blessing and inauguration were witnessed by the Aklan Police and Defense Press Corps (APDPC), mayors of the neighboring towns– Maming (Banga), Dominador Ilio Jr (Malinao), Charito Navarosa (Libacao) and Madalag lady police chief Insp. Avelda Rabino. /MP
