Antipolo cops donate part of bonuses to Christmas outreach project

The Antipolo City Police Station (CPS) shared the Christmas spirit with 150 residents of Sitio Pasong Palanas in Barangay San Juan on Tuesday, Dec. 14, through the “Bonus Ko, Handog Ko” project.

The “Bonus Ko, Handog Ko” is a community outreach project wherein all members of the City Community Affairs and Development (CCAD) sector of the Antipolo CPS contribute around P1,000 to P2,000 of their bonuses to fund gift-giving and feeding programs.

The project was led by PLt. Melania Richa, PChief MSgt. Excelsis Zamora, and PSSgt. Miguelito Esguerra.

Barangay San Juan (LGU) and Kabataan Kontra Droga at Terorismo (KKDAT) aided the CCAD in the activities.

PChief Msgt. Zamora of the Antipolo CPS said the “Bonus Ko, Handog Ko” project is one of the station’s best practices.

Children and police officers played parlor games and won prizes such as toys and cash gifts from the CPS.

PLt. Richa and PSSgt. Esguerra also gave lectures on environment protection and conservation, and drug awareness to the adult residents. They served them lugaw, bread, and Zesto packs.

The Antipolo CPS has been funding community outreach projects for years, particularly when they have no sponsors.

“Everytime kailangan namin gumawa ng activity, kami ang nagluluwal ng pera. Lalo na pag napalapit sa amin ang isang lugar, nagiipon-ipon kami para mabigyan sila ng kahit simpleng palugaw o almusal, o mga gamit para sa mga bata (Everytime we need to do an activity, we contribute our money. Especially when we’ve formed a bond with a place, we save money so we can give them a simple feeding program like serving lugaw or breakfast, or providing things for the children),” said PChief MSgt. Zamora in a phone interview.

The project is being conducted twice a year, every 4th week of May and 3rd week of December.

The “Bonus Ko, Handog Ko'' program is done in partnership with the BARANGAYANIHAN program that aims to nurture a relationship between local communities and the police. The Antipolo CPS has distributed food packs to neighborhoods in the area.

“Nakikita namin, hindi naman kailangan marami ang ibigay mo sa kanila. napapansin sila at kung ano man ang kailangan nila kahit papaano sa araw-araw (We see that we don’t have to give them many things. we show that we care for their needs everyday),” Zamora said.

Zamora stated that the project is all about bringing joy to people, especially during the pandemic.

“Nakikita namin, hanggang bundok-bundok na napupuntahan namin, kahit maliit na bagay, mapapasaya namin sila (We see, even in the mountains we've visited, that we can make them happy even with the smallest things),” Zamora added.
