AS Western Visayas prepares for another eventful year, it becomes clear that effective leadership is not only about responding to challenges — it is also about anticipating what the coming months will demand.
This is where the leadership of PBGen. Josefino Ligan, Director of Police Regional Office 6, continues to stand out.
His recent meetings with the media and PRO6 personnel offered more than updates; they presented a clear picture of a leader focused on readiness, alignment and public trust.
Ligan’s review of PRO6’s accomplishments for November 2025 highlighted ongoing efforts in crime prevention, anti-illegal drugs operations and strengthened community engagement.
These achievements reflect a regional command that understands the fundamentals of effective policing.
What makes his approach even more notable is his emphasis on coherence — ensuring that every initiative supports broader national directives and long-term commitments.
With major undertakings ahead, particularly the ASEAN SEOM Retreat 2026 in Aklan, he stresses that preparation must be comprehensive and coordinated.
One refreshing aspect of his leadership is his view of the media as essential partners in public safety.
By recognizing journalists as conduits of accurate and timely information, Ligan reinforces a policing culture that values transparency and community connection.
This kind of openness builds confidence, which is crucial when managing large events and maintaining order.
During the 36th Staff Conference, Ligan also underscored the need for alignment among all units — regional staff, national support teams and specialized offices.
His guidance centered on accountability and teamwork, reminding everyone that consistent collaboration is key to delivering effective public service.
As 2026 approaches, Ligan offers the region a sense of stability rooted in preparation and principled leadership.
Under his direction, PRO6 moves forward with clarity, focus and a commitment to keeping Western Visayas safe, organized and well-guided in the year ahead.
