SULU – The Philippine National Police or PNP awarded Sulu Governor Toto Tan with a plaque or appreciation and citation for his unrelenting and unwavering support to the police force in the entire province.

Senior Superintendent Pablo Labra II, along with the 19 municipal police chiefs of Sulu, presented the recognition awards to Tan on Wednesday at the Provincial Capitol in Patikul town.
The award reads: “In grateful recognition of his unrelenting support to the Sulu Provincial Police Office resulting in the decrease in criminality in the Province and consistently making Sulu Provincial Police Office as the number 1 Police Office in PRO-ARMM In Anti-Illegal Drugs Campaign.”
Tan, who is now running for vice governor in Sulu, thanked the PNP under the leadership of Director General Oscar Albayalde, and members of the provincial and municipal police forces, for the awards.
He said the members of the provincial and municipal police offices led by Labra deserve the commendation more than him because of their sincere dedication and bravery to their sworn duty in protecting the people and upholding the rule of law.
