PCAP Regional Chapter 3 Extends Relief Assistance to Flood-Affected Families in Pampanga

The Professional Criminologists Association, Regional Chapter 3, successfully conducted a relief operation for families affected by the combined effects of the typhoon and the southwest monsoon, locally known as habagat, in Barangay San Agustin, San Simon, Pampanga.

The humanitarian initiative was undertaken amid the declaration of a state of calamity throughout Pampanga, where several communities continue to experience severe flooding. In some of the hardest-hit areas, including portions of San Luis, floodwaters reportedly rose above waist level, disrupting livelihoods and forcing residents to evacuate their homes.

Through prior coordination with the Punong Barangay and Criminology Graduate RJ Sebaria, the Regional Council identified approximately 200 affected individuals and families as beneficiaries of the assistance. The relief packages included food supplies, hygiene essentials, medicines, and pre-loved clothing to help address the evacueesโ€™ immediate needs.

Regional Governor Rhem Rick Corpuz personally joined the relief operation, together with PCAP Pampanga Chapter Chancellor Leslie DC Cuevo, Chapter Secretary Rica Jane Ronquilio, and Vice Chancellor Remmark Corpuz. Their presence demonstrated the associationโ€™s collective commitment to responsive leadership, community service, and humanitarian action during emergencies.

The activity reflects PCAPโ€™s continuing commitment to assist vulnerable communities and provide meaningful support to individuals and families experiencing hardship during these trying times. Beyond professional development and the advancement of the criminology profession, the association recognizes its broader social responsibility to promote public welfare, solidarity, and compassionate service.

PCAP Regional Chapter 3 also called upon fellow registered criminologists, partner organizations, and concerned individuals to support its continuing relief initiatives. Additional assistance will allow the association to reach more flood-affected communities and provide essential supplies to families who remain in urgent need.

As relief operations continue, PCAP Regional Chapter 3 reaffirms that the criminology profession is not only dedicated to public safety and justice but is equally committed to standing with communities in times of crisis.

PCAP Mourns the Loss of Criminologist and PDEA Agent Enfernie Jim Dayag

The Professional Criminologists Association of the Philippines (PCAP) joins the family, colleagues, friends, and the entire law enforcement community in mourning the untimely death of PDEA Intelligence Officer I Enfernie Jim Dayag, a Registered Criminologist who was killed in the line of duty during an anti-illegal drug operation in Bongao, Tawi-Tawi on August 9, 2026.

Criminologist Dayag served with the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency and was part of a government team conducting an operation against individuals suspected of involvement in illegal drug trafficking. The operation reportedly resulted in an armed encounter, during which Criminologist Dayag lost his life while several members of the Philippine Marines were wounded.

A graduate of the University of Baguio Bachelor of Science in Criminology program in 2021, Criminologist Dayag subsequently passed the Criminologist Licensure Examination and entered government service through the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency in 2024.

His death reminds us of the risks undertaken every day by criminologists and other members of the law enforcement and public safety sectors who stand on the front lines of the countryโ€™s campaign against illegal drugs, organized criminality, and threats to peace and order.

The Professional Criminologists Association of the Philippines recognizes Criminologist Enfernie Jim Dayag for his courage, dedication to duty, and commitment to public service. His willingness to place himself in harmโ€™s way in the performance of his lawful duties reflects the highest ideals of service expected of members of the criminology profession.

PCAP likewise recognizes his contribution to the protection of our communities and to the continuing pursuit of public safety, peace, and order. His service and sacrifice shall remain part of the collective legacy of Filipino criminologists who have devoted their professional lives to protecting the public and upholding the rule of law.

To his bereaved family, fellow PDEA personnel, classmates, colleagues, and loved ones, PCAP extends its deepest condolences and solidarity during this difficult time.

May his courage and commitment to service inspire present and future generations of Registered Criminologists.

The criminology profession mourns one of its own. We honor his service. We remember his sacrifice.

Rest in peace, Criminologist Enfernie Jim Dayag.

The Professional Criminologists Association of the Philippines honors all criminologists who faithfully serve the Filipino people in the pursuit of justice, public safety, peace, and security.

Strengthening the Academeโ€“Government Partnership for the Future of Philippine Criminology

August 5, 2026, PCAP Region 3 had a productive exploratory meeting with the National Police Commission (NAPOLCOM) Regional Office III to discuss strategic initiatives aimed at enhancing the employability, competency, and professional development of criminology graduates across Central Luzon.

Among the key matters discussed were:

โ€ข Strengthening the recruitment and interview process for criminology graduates entering law enforcement service;
โ€ข Developing initiatives that will better align criminology education with the competencies required by government agencies;
โ€ข Organizing a Regional Crime Prevention Symposium where criminology students from Region III will present research studies and innovative crime prevention projects;
โ€ข Establishing a collaborative research agenda wherein NAPOLCOM will identify priority policy and operational issues that require evidence-based research, enabling higher education institutions to produce studies that directly support policing and public safety;
โ€ข Building a stronger and sustainable partnership between the academe and NAPOLCOM through instruction, research, extension, and policy development.

NAPOLCOM Regional Office III expressed its commitment to work closely with criminology schools in the region and sought the support of academic institutions and professional organizations to transform these initiatives into concrete programs that bridge research and practice.

This collaboration represents an important step toward ensuring that criminology education remains responsive to the evolving needs of the criminal justice system while producing graduates who are competent, employable, and prepared to contribute meaningfully to public service.

We look forward to working with NAPOLCOM and our partner institutions in realizing these initiatives for the benefit of our students, the profession, and the communities we serve.

Present during the meeting:

* Regional Director Evangeline R. Almirante
* Acting Chief, Technical Services Division Atty. Garry S. Segarra
* Planning Officer I Zaiza R. Rosario
* Dr. Rhem Rick N. Corpuz, PCAP Regional Governor and Acting Assistant Dean, Angeles University Foundation โ€“ College of Criminal Justice Education
