Kamsamhida South Korea!!!
Remember last year when Japan made a donation worth P225.6M consisting of
100 patrol cars 87 Mitsubishi Montero SUVs,
and 13 Nissan Urvan vans) and various equiptments like 6 bomb suits, 6
ballistic shields, and 440 pairs of bullet-proof helmets and vests.
Our East Asian neighbor South Korea also made the same gesture though not
as big as the one did by the Japanese.

The South Korean government donated 130 patrol cars to the Philippine
National Police (PNP), it was made possible through the program of the Korea
International Cooperation Agency (KOICA).
Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Director General Oscar Albayalde was
on deck during the turnover ceremonies witnessing the turnover of 49 units of
Hyundai Elantra and 81 units of Starex Van together with Department of Interior
and Local Government (DILG) Undersecretary for Peace and Order, Bernardo

Also present during the turnover and blessing rites were Quezon City Police

The PNP chief said that the units will be distributed to the different
units within the PNP namely : to the Directorate for Investigation and

He added these patrol cars will be distributed also to the City Police
