THERE’S a renewed sense of confidence in Western Visayas these days — and it’s not hard to see why.
The recent arrest of 171 wanted persons, including all Top 10 Regional Most Wanted, speaks volumes about the kind of leadership steering the Police Regional Office 6 (PRO6) under PBGen. Josefino Ligan.
These are not just numbers; they represent lives made safer, communities made calmer, and a police force that’s proving its worth through real, visible action.
In a time when people demand accountability, Ligan’s leadership shows that dedication and discipline can indeed restore public trust.
Beyond the arrests, what’s even more remarkable is the 18.13% decline in index crimes recorded in the region. That figure isn’t just a statistic — it reflects the growing harmony between the police and the public.
Under Ligan’s watch, the police are no longer distant figures of authority but true partners in protection.
His approach blends tough law enforcement with community involvement, reminding everyone that peacekeeping is most effective when citizens and officers stand on the same side.
This is the kind of people-centered policing that builds not just safety, but solidarity.
Ligan’s guiding principle — “KasaLIGAN, Kaapin, kag Kaagapay” — has evolved into a working philosophy that his men and women live by.
It embodies trust, compassion, and shared responsibility. His leadership emphasizes intelligence-driven operations, teamwork, and strong coordination with local government units and community groups.
Through this, he has redefined what modern policing in the region looks like: proactive, compassionate and effective.
Western Visayas today stands as one of the country’s bright spots in peace and order — not by luck, but through the steady hands of a leader who leads with purpose and integrity.
Ligan proves that when leadership is grounded in service, the results speak for themselves.
His success is a reminder that justice thrives where leadership inspires, and that with trust and unity, peace will always prevail.
