The Quezon City Police District (QCPD) marked its 86th founding anniversary on Tuesday, Nov. 25, recognizing personnel and partners who contributed to peace and order efforts across the city.
The celebration, held at the QCPD Hinirang Social Hall in Camp Karingal, was led by Acting District Director PCOL Randy Glenn Silvio.
Mayor Joy Belmonte also attended as Guest of Honor, praising the district’s increased visibility in barangays and its strong presence during local government operations and disaster response.
“Imbes na maghintay lang sa presinto, mas dama ng mga residente ang presensya ninyo sa mga kalye, palengke, at mga lugar na kailangan ng proteksyon (Instead of just waiting at the precinct, residents now feel your presence more on the streets, markets, and areas that need protection),” Mayor Belmonte said.
Silvio also unveiled newly acquired equipment to support patrol operations, investigations, and response capabilities—an upgrade he described as essential in sustaining the district’s performance.
A major portion of the program was dedicated to awarding top-performing officers and units across various categories, from operations and investigation to administrative work.
Among the leading awardees were:
• PCOL Alex S. Pederio, Best District Directorial Staff Officer
• PLTCOL Romil C. Avenido, Best Station Commander
• PMAJ Mark Ronan Balmaceda, Best Police Commissioned Officer
• PMSg Jayrodel Calantas, Best Senior PNCO
• PCpl Jerald Vergara, Best Junior PNCO
• PCpl Mary Kris Aguirre, Best Female Operative
• NUP Roy Ayan Torres, Best Non-Uniformed Personnel
• PMAJ Rohaina Asalan, recipient of the Gawad Belmonte Policewoman of the Year
For the unit awards, Galas Police Station 11 was named Best Police Station, while CIDU, Holy Spirit Police Station 14 (SDEU) and the District Medical and Dental Unit topped their respective categories.
Local government officials and retired police consultants who support QCPD’s programs were likewise honored, including DPOS head PBGEN Elmo San Diego (Ret.) and QCDRRMO head ENP Bianca Perez.
Mayor Belmonte also received a special plaque for her continued support of the district.
“Makakaasa ang taumbayan na patuloy kaming makikipagtulungan at magiging tapat sa paglaban sa anumang katiwalian (The people can count on us to continue to cooperate and be honest in the fight against any corruption),” PCOL Silvio said.
