The police provincial director of Pangasinan is leaving a
legacy in his post how to make the best out of the measly Maintenance and Other
Operating Expenses (MOOE).
Sr. Supt. Marlou C. Chan said before this year ends he made
something that his predecessors in the provincial command dared not touch: Renovated the dilapidated and worn-out offices of the police provincial headquarters to a cozy call-center style work place.

“The police provincial office would be the last to be
repaired and repainted after all of the offices like the intelligence and command conference rooms in this building have been refurbished,” he said.

The first sight and smell that greet visitors at the
provincial would be the immaculate white, and shiny brown, blue, and gray paint that embellished
the bars, handles, and walling of the stairways from the ground floor to the
second floor.
A source who asked anonymity said that for years no
provincial directors have repaired the walls and ceilings, reconstruct the furniture,
and replace the worn-out paint that became an eye sore inside the main
building.
“If his predecessors used the money to some insignificant
things, PD (provincial director) plans to purchase five new computers and
numbers of big flat screen TV in the staff offices even through installment
basis by using the modicum MOOE”.

The police provincial command has more than P1 million MOOE for
repair and office supplies in a year. It is given by tranche every quarter of
the year
In the past some police provincial directors in Pangasinan
were accused of mishandling the MOOE.
According to the source, even without the support of the
provincial government it only shows that remarkable things can still be made even
with a limited police funds.
The source said the administration of Pangasinan Governor
Amado T. Espino has appropriated P3 million in the past for the repair and
construction of the provincial command but withheld it due to the governor’s differences
with Chan.

As Chan await his order for his new post as chief of the
directorial staff (RCDS) in the police
regional office in San Fernando City La Union, he is presently busy supervising
command conferences and seminars among his staff to buttress their crime
solution efficiency, their competence in correspondence, and their skills in
using computer software.
