TACLOBAN CITY — The Police Regional Office 8 (PRO-8) conducted a basketball clinic for the children of Philippine National Police (PNP) personnel on January 31, 2026, as part of its continuing efforts to promote youth development, family welfare, and healthy lifestyles within the police community.
Held at the PRO-8 gym inside Camp Ruperto K. Kangleon in Campetic, Palo, Leyte, the activity brought together young participants for guided training sessions and interactive drills designed to enhance physical fitness, teamwork, discipline, and sportsmanship.
PRO-8 officials said the basketball clinic was not only intended to develop basic sports skills but also to instill positive values among the children of police personnel, including cooperation, respect, and perseverance—qualities seen as essential both on and off the court.
The activity also served as a venue to strengthen camaraderie among PNP families and to reinforce the regional police office’s commitment to the holistic well-being of its personnel and their dependents, beyond the demands of law enforcement duties.
Through initiatives such as sports clinics and youth-oriented programs, PRO-8 said it continues to encourage healthy recreational activities while fostering stronger bonds within the PNP community.
