The E.B. Magalona Police Station adjudged best municipal police station in Negros Occidental in 2004, is repeating its feat in 2005 and will receive its award tomorrow at Camp Alfredo Montelibano Sr. in Bacolod City.

Headed by Senior Inspector Santiago Rapiz, the E.B. Magalona Police Station, is among the police units in Negros Occidental that enjoy the full support of its local government executives headed by Mayor Alfonso Gamboa and the community as well, police records show.

Rapiz who assumed the E.B. Magalona police command in 2004, said that although some people engaged in illegal activities are trying their best to undermine our law enforcement campaign, his office still enjoys the full support of the community and town officials.

Last month, the Associated Planters of Silay-Sarabia Inc. chaired by former Negros Occidental Vice-Governor Romeo Gamboa donated an all terrain patrol jeep to the E.B. Magalona Police Station.
