NAPOLCOM N’yo Po! Mga Lingkod-Bayan ng NAPOLCOM

MS. LUCIA C. NIEZ
Chief Administrative Officer
NAPOLCOM Region 13 – CARAGA

38 Taon ng Tapat na Paglilingkod, Isang Buhay ng Integridad at Dedikasyon

May mga lingkod-bayan na tahimik na nagtatrabaho sa likod ng mga proseso at sistema, ngunit napakalaki ng ambag sa tagumpay ng isang organisasyon. Isa na rito si Ms. Lucia C. Niez, o mas kilala bilang “Juvy,” ang Chief Administrative Officer ng Administrative Division ng NAPOLCOM Region 13 – CARAGA. Sa loob ng halos apat na dekada, naging saksi siya sa paglago ng tanggapan at naging mahalagang bahagi ng pagpapatatag ng mga serbisyong ibinibigay nito sa publiko.

Mula sa kanyang pagsisimula bilang Senior Clerk noong 1988 hanggang sa kanyang kasalukuyang posisyon bilang pinuno ng Administrative Division, ipinakita ni Ms. Niez ang kahalagahan ng sipag, tiyaga, at pananagutan. Pinakamatagal niyang ginampanan ang tungkulin bilang Budget Officer sa loob ng 24 na taon, kung saan kanyang tiniyak ang maayos at wastong paggamit ng pondo ng bayan upang masuportahan ang mga programa at serbisyo ng Komisyon.

Hindi lamang sa administrasyon nasusukat ang kanyang ambag. Nagsilbi rin siya bilang Regional NAPEMA Representative, PNP Promotions Board Representative, GAD Focal Person, at kasapi ng iba’t ibang komite sa rehiyon. Para kay Ms. Niez, ang integridad at propesyonalismo ang pundasyon ng mabuting paglilingkod, at naniniwala siyang ang tiwala ng publiko ay nakukuha sa pamamagitan ng pagiging tapat, makatarungan, at responsable sa bawat tungkulin.

Bilang isang biyuda, mapagmahal na ina at lola, ang kanyang pamilya ang nagsisilbing inspirasyon upang patuloy na maglingkod nang may malasakit at dedikasyon. Ang kanyang kuwento ay patunay na ang tunay na serbisyo publiko ay hindi lamang trabaho kundi isang bokasyon na isinasabuhay araw-araw.

“Manatiling mapagkumbaba sa mga tagumpay, igalang ang opinyon ng iba, at patuloy na maghatid ng de-kalidad na serbisyo bilang isang lingkod-bayan.”
Ito po and NAPOLCOM N’yo Po, nagbibigay pugay sa mga tahimik na nagsisilbi at nagiiwan ng makabuluhan at inspirasyong karera sa pamahalaan.

Ngayong ika-12 ng Hunyo, ginugunita natin ang ika-128 anibersaryo ng pagpapahayag ng kasarinlan ng Pilipinas, isang makasaysayang tagumpay na bunga ng katapangan, pagkakaisa, at pagmamahal sa bayan ng ating mga ninuno.

Ang kalayaan ay hindi lamang alaala ng nakaraan. Ito ay pananagutang isinasabuhay araw-araw sa pamamagitan ng tapat na paglilingkod, paggalang sa batas, pagtatanggol sa katotohanan, at aktibong pakikilahok sa paghubog ng isang mas maunlad at makatarungang lipunan.

Sa pagdiriwang na ito, nawa’y magsilbing paalala ang sakripisyo ng ating mga bayani na ang tunay na diwa ng kalayaan ay nakasalalay sa ating sama-samang pagkilos para sa kapakanan ng bayan at ng bawat Pilipino.

Maligayang Araw ng Kalayaan!

As a manifestation of its commitment to forging community partnership and support to children’s education, the National Police Commission (NAPOLCOM) Regional Office 13, under the leadership of Regional Director Dir. Josephmar B. Gil, CESO IV, donated eleven (11) cans of paint and a box of pencils, erasers and sharpeners to the Libertad National High School (LNHS) and another box to the Libertad Central Elementary School (LCES).

Ms. Rachel S. Rendon, Principal II of LNHS, represented by Ms. Lyra Ruth M. Moscatiles, Head Teacher III and Officer-In-Charge, together with Mr. Reynaldo M. Floreta, Head Teacher III and Brigada Focal, formally received the donations and expressed their gratitude to RD Gil and NAPOLCOM for their generosity and continued commitment in helping provide a conducive learning environment for the students of LNHS. According to OIC Moscatiles, the donation augured well for the opening of classes on June 8, 2026 as the school is currently being prepped through DepEd’s Brigada Eskwela program.

The handing over of donations is a product of the strengthened partnership between NAPOLCOM Regional Office 13 and LNHS, formalized through a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA), with LNHS serving as the regular venue for the PNP Entrance, Promotional, and Police Executive Service Eligibility (PESE) Examinations. The MOA is anchored on the Adopt-a-School Program of the Department of Educations (DepEd).

Following the activity at LNHS, RD Gil together with other NAPOLCOM key personnel proceeded to LCES where another one (1) box of pencils and sharpeners was donated for the benefit of the pupils. Ms. Remelie V. Cedro, Principal of LCES, accepted the donation and conveyed her appreciation to RD Gil and NAPOLCOM Regional Office 13 for their benevolence and support to the school.

The pencils, erasers and sharpeners were sourced from the April 2026 NAPOLCOM-administered police examinations in the cities of Butuan and Surigao, where examinees were encouraged to voluntarily donate their pencils. This simple act of sharing transforms the examination process into a meaningful cycle of support for learners in need.

Through initiatives such as this, NAPOLCOM Regional Office 13 continues to strengthen its partnership with educational institutions and reaffirm its dedication to supporting programs that contribute to the welfare and development of learners in the community.
