MANILA, Philippines - Naging emosyunal si Department of Interior Local Government (DILG) Secretary Mar Roxas nang dumalo ito sa 24th founding anniversary ng National Capital Regional Police Office (NCRPO) na ginanap kahapon sa Camp Bagong Diwa, Bicutan, Taguig City.
Napaiyak si Roxas habang ito ay nagsasalita bilang panauhing pandangal sa naturang pagdiriwang hinggil sa brutal na pagkamatay ng 44 miyembo ng Philippine National Police, Special Action Force (SAF) commandos.
Ang headquarters ng PNP-SAF ay matatagpuan sa loob ng Camp Bagong Diwa. Sinabi nito na mas ligtas aniya ngayon sa NCR dahil sa pinaigting na anti-criminality campaign, ‘Oplan Lambat Sibat’, dahilan upang bumaba ang bilang ng krimen nitong nakaraang anim na buwan.
