As support to the peacekeeping and law enforcement efforts of the province, Taganito Mining Corporation turned over two (2) vehicle units, one Kia Bongo and one Hyundai Porter, to Surigao del Norte Police Provincial Office (SDNP-PPO) and the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG).
The turn-over was led by TMC Resident Mine Manager Engr. Artemio Valeroso at the Provincial Police Office which was represented by Provincial Director PCol. Renato Mercado and PMaj Felix Dennis Alicando of the CIDG Surigao del Norte PFU.
“Surigao del Norte Police Provincial Office is known for its initiative in reaching out to the downtrodden members of the community, especially during the pandemic brought about by COVID-19 and when Typhoon Odette unleashed havoc, causing many Surigaonons to go homeless and even hungry,” said Mercado.
Mercado added that the vehicle “will be very useful during different community engagements especially in far-flung barangays, as activities to reach out to the people is a continuous and sustainable effort geared to uplift the lives of those in need. Thank you very much po.”
Engr. Valeroso remarked that like the PNP, TMC has the same end goal of contributing to a brighter future for its people, communities, and other stakeholders; one way of which is by partnering and supporting different offices and agencies.
