This initiative is a continuous program to reach each barangay in the City of Meycauayan in the long term. Designed to provide thorough and in-depth seminars for each barangay that go beyond topics commonly covered in regular trainings, with a strong focus on removing stigma, serving those most in need, and deepening understanding of legal processes at the community level. It aims to empower frontline community peace and safety officers with knowledge, awareness, and practical guidance to help them perform their duties more effectively and compassionately.
For this year, the Pamahalaang Barangay ng Tugatog was selected with the support of the Liga ng mga Barangay – City of Meycauayan President Carlito O. Magno. The keynote speakers for the seminar were Atty. Novie Calamay of the Public Attorney’s Office and Chief PLtCol Melvin M. Florida Jr. of the Philippine National Police – City of Meycauayan.
Uniform high-standard vests were distributed to participants to promote visibility, unity, and professionalism in the performance of their responsibilities. These vests were generously funded and made possible through the support of the Rotary Club of Meycauayan Jewels and its members, reinforcing Rotary’s commitment to community service and public safety.
The program targeted a total of 60 participants, composed of Lupon Tagapamayapa members, Barangay Tanods, and Barangay Peacekeeping Action Team (BPAT) members. Through education, open dialogue, and material support, the initiative demonstrated how informed leadership and collaboration can strengthen peacekeeping efforts and foster safer, more inclusive communities.
