About PNP Transformation Torch Run 2007
On October 1, 2007, during the PNP Change of Command Ceremony wherein Her Excellency President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo was the Guest of Honor and Speaker, a symbolic turn-over of the PNP Transformation Torch took place. In her speech, the President remarked that she liked the torch ceremony and encouraged the new Chief, PNP, PDG AVELINO I. RAZON JR. to go on and continue the PNP transformation program.
The PNP Integrated Transformation Program, or ITP, is our roadmap for long-term and lasting reforms in the Philippine National Police. The transformation program is being implemented in order to resolve organizational dysfunctions and improve the quality of police services; strengthen law enforcement capabilities, and; enhance the welfare and benefits of our personnel and dependents.
One of the major projects under the PNP ITP is the Advocacy Program under Key Result Area: Public Information and Advocacy, which aims to provide mechanisms for winning the Transformation Program through public understanding and support and to provide effective mechanisms for public and stakeholder information, information and feedback on the reform process.
With the inauguration of the PNP Program Management Office (PNP-PMO) on September 28, 2005 pursuant to PNP General Order # 05-12, then PMO Executive Director, PDDG AVELINO I RAZON, JR and other senior advisers embarked on an advocacy campaign on the PNP ITP which covered all the seventeen Police Regional Offices’ Headquarters.
After the initial salvo, it is the desire of the PNP to continue with the advocacy campaign on the Transformation Program and the different projects that the PMO is currently undertaking.
Thus, Torch Run: Towards Genuine Transformation was conceptualized.
The symbolic passing of the Transformation Torch during the PNP Change of Command Ceremony on October 1, 2007 marked the launching of the series of Transformation Torch Run in the seventeen (17) Police Regional Offices (PROs) around the country.
