As part of its continued efforts to strengthen local peace and order initiatives, the Bontoc Local Government Unit (LGU), distributed uniforms to 48 barangay tanods from the four central barangays.

This effort, funded through the Peace and Order Fund, supports local peacekeeping personnel in their daily duties.

Mayor Jerome “Chagsen” Tudlong, Jr. led the handover of the uniforms, thanking the barangay tanods for their work in ensuring the safety of the community.

“This is our way of acknowledging the important role our barangay tanods play in keeping our communities safe,” Mayor Tudlong stated.

Mayor Tudlong added that tanods from the remaining 12 barangays will receive their uniforms in the next phase of the distribution.

Also present during the turnover was Municipal Local Government Operations Officer Lourdes Claire Peel and Municipal Administrator Eric Fulangen, Sr.
