PNP Extends Life-Saving Support to PGH Pediatric Patients

The Philippine National Police (PNP), under the leadership of its Chief, Police General Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., reaffirmed its commitment to humanitarian service through an outreach program benefiting chronically ill pediatric patients under the care of the Child Foundation and the Kalidad at Wagas na Aruga on the Go (KWAGO) Program of the Philippine General Hospital.

As part of the initiative, the PNP Civil Security Group (CSG), led by Police Brigadier General Aden T. Lagradante, Officer-in-Charge, donated fifteen portable generators on June 4, 2026. The equipment is intended to provide reliable backup power during unexpected electricity interruptions, ensuring that life-sustaining respiratory support devices continue to operate without disruption. The initiative underscores the organization’s continuing efforts to assist medically dependent patients and enhance the safety, stability, and comfort of pediatric patients receiving home-based care.

Representatives of PGH and the Child Foundation formally received the donated equipment. The event highlighted a strong partnership between law enforcement agencies and medical humanitarian institutions, reflecting a shared commitment to protecting and improving the lives of Filipinos, particularly vulnerable children.

The PNP Chief emphasized the broader role of public service, stating: “Service goes beyond protection; it must reach those who need it most. We stand with families who fight every day for their children’s lives and well-being. Ang serbisyo ng kapulisan ay hindi lang sa seguridad, kundi pati na rin sa malasakit sa kapwa.”

He further added, “We continue to support programs that save lives and ease the burden of families in need. Patuloy kaming tutulong sa abot ng aming makakaya para sa mga pamilyang umaasa sa tulong ng komunidad at ng pamahalaan.

The initiative reflects the PNP’s continuing thrust under the banner, “Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong Mabilis, Tapat, at Nararamdaman,” emphasizing responsive, compassionate, and community-centered policing that extends support to the most vulnerable members of society.

Through this outreach program, the PNP continues to strengthen its role not only as a law enforcement institution but also as a partner in humanitarian assistance and nation-building.
