The Police Regional Office–Cordillera Administrative Region (PRO-CAR) has been recognized as the “Best Regional Office” in the country during the 124th PNP Service Anniversary held at Camp Crame on Tuesday, August 12, 2025.

President Ferdinand Marcos, Jr. handed the award personally to PRO-CAR’s newly appointed regional director, PBGen. Ericson Dilag.

“Siguro bakit natin nakuha ‘yung Best PRO, because of our administrative and operational accomplishment. Lahat ng mga core practices na pinapagawa sa atin, naco-comply natin,” PCol. Julio Lizardo, Deputy Regional Director for Administration of PRO-CAR, said.

Aside from the top regional office award, the Benguet Provincial Police Office, La Trinidad Municipal Police Station, and the Provincial Mobile Force Company were finalists in their respective categories.

The National Police Commission–Cordillera also commended the unit for living up to its motto, “The Most Disciplined Cops.”

“Nakikita naman natin ‘yung excellent performance nila. Nagiging model na natin itong PRO-CAR, kaya kung napupunta tayo sa ibang lugar, ang hinahanap natin kung paano rin ‘yung performance ng PRO-CAR,” Soledad Bengwaren, Public Information Officer of NAPOLCOM-CAR, said.
