With most of the BCPO personnel already vaccinated, Police Col. Manuel Placido said chances of COVID-19 infection among its members will be minimal.

“To help prevent the spread of the virus in the community is our ultimate objective,” Placido said.

He added that the vaccination of the police personnel was done in coordination with the EOC.

Placido said he is grateful to the Bacolod LGU for allotting vaccines for the BCPO personnel. – MML
