Approaching the new year with a new Officer-in-Charge of the Northern Samar Police Provincial Office, Governor Harris Ongchuan formally welcomed PCol Orlando S. Gardiola Jr. to Northern Samar as he paid a courtesy visit earlier today, January 6, 2026.
In their brief exchange, PCol Gardiola shared his vision for the province, assuring the Governor of his commitment in continuing the programs and initiatives started by his predecessor, PCol Sonnie Omengan. He emphasized his priority of sustaining peace and order, and expressed how, in their own capacity, the Philippine National Police can support the promotion of tourism in Northern Samar.
PCol Orlando S. Gardiola Jr., a member of the PNPA Kabalikat Class of '98, assumed office as OIC on December 27, 2025, succeeding former Police Provincial Director Pcol Sonnie B. Omengan in leading the command of the police force in Northern Samar.
With the new leadership, Governor Ongchuan hopes to maintain the active partnership that was established between the Provincial Government and the Provincial Police Office. (CGL/CEA/act)
