The Police Regional Office 7 (PRO7), under the leadership of Regional Director PBGEN ARNOLD E. ABAD, honored the champions of the inaugural RD's Cup 2026 (Shoot for a Cause) during an awarding ceremony held on August 3, 2026, at Camp Sergio Osmeña Sr., Cebu City.
The four-day competition, held from July 16 to 19 at the Cebu Wonderland Shooters Club in Lapu-Lapu City, brought together 1,148 shooters, making it the largest PSMOC-certified Level 2 shooting match ever conducted in the country. The event showcased exceptional marksmanship while strengthening camaraderie among law enforcement personnel, the shooting community, and stakeholders.
PBGEN Abad congratulated all winners and participants for their discipline, sportsmanship, and outstanding performance. He likewise expressed his sincere gratitude to the Regional Advisory Group for Police Transformation and Development (RAGPTD) 7 led by Chairman Eric Mendoza, Cebu Wonderland Shooters Club CEO Felix Y. Gochan III, sponsors, local chief executives, stakeholders, and partner organizations whose unwavering support made the event a resounding success.
"The success of the inaugural RD's Cup reflects the strength of collaboration between the police, the private sector, local government units, and the community. Together, we have demonstrated how partnership can translate into meaningful capability enhancement for public safety," PBGEN Abad said.
He also recognized the Cebu shooting community for helping establish a national milestone through its overwhelming participation.
"The record participation of 1,148 shooters in a PSMOC-certified Level 2 match is a remarkable achievement. It reflects the growing commitment of our shooting community to support initiatives that strengthen police capability and public safety," he added.
The Regional Director announced that the event generated more than ₱3.3 million in proceeds, which will fund the acquisition of a fully equipped Mobile Command Center for PRO7.
