Talibongnon takes over Bohol chief cop post

 

A TALIBONGNON finally fulfills serving his homeland dream after failing to get the coveted post in 1995. Police Senior Superintendent Anthony Lao Obenza could not, but be melodramatic as he stammered when he admitted his nostalgia for Bohol as he took the podium during his assumption to officer ceremonies at Bohol's Camp Dagohoy. PSSupt Obenza took over the reins as Bohol 's top cop, Tuesday, December 15 amid full police honors ceremony and key civilian stakeholders along with Police Chief Superintendent Lani-O Nerez as the highest officiating official. Obenza, who has been serving as personnel officer for the police regional office in Cebu said he has long wanted to go back and serve his homeland Bohol When that day arrived, he said he wants to dedicate his peak moment with two persons he misses so much.

He cited former Police Constabulary Captain Inocencio Obenza who as a model, has goaded him to join the force and his daughter would have been happy, but has died of dengue some two years ago. Taking over the reigns from PSSUpt Edgardo Ingkling who has been promoted to the position as chief of staff of the police regional office in Cebu , Obenza admitted his new task would seem to be a huge challenge. Taking over a highly accomplished status of the innovative Bohol Police Office would be Obenzas first test of fire as he takes on his new top command job after long years of largely office work, Camp Dagohoy insiders revealed. Over the daunting job, he asks the 48 strong chiefs of police in Bohol 's 47 towns and one city to give him the same support they had extended to the past chief. Obenza assured outgoing chief PSSupt Ingking he would continue to live up to the good standing of the Bohol Police Office under the latter's watch. “let me ask for the same teamwork and cooperation like what you gave to your past chief”, he said before a company of integral men and women of the camp who stood on loose parade rest during his acceptance speech.
