THIS column is our last for the year 2022. We are devoting a good part of this column in greeting our met and still to be met friends especially those who.
First we are extending our New Year’s greetings to our former colleagues at the Commission on Population (POPCOM) Regional Office XI where we used to work for a number of years. We hope that all of you will not tire of following our every column even if you disagree with our views. And we believe him because there were several instances that he gave constructive reactions and even gave us ideas on what to write based on his own experiences with the NYPD and on his observations on what is happening in Philippine society and governance. For fear that we might be missing some names because of their number, we would rather greet then a Happy and Prosperous 2023 in lump or group. In the case of General Dubria, we knew him during his stint as Director of the Davao City Police Office (DCPO) where he implemented a program that to us was very effective in restoring the trust of the people in their policemen. The Police General and Marlu had been friends to us for some time already although we still never had the chance to meet personally.
