CAMP RUPERTO KANGLEON,PALO, Leyte– Police Regional Office 8 (PRO-8) kicked off the holiday season in style on Wednesday, December 3, 2025, with a sparkling display of lanterns and Christmas trees in front of its administration building.
Under the leadership of PB/Gen. Jason Capoy, the event featured an eco-friendly lantern or ‘parol’ contest, where 22 teams from various regional and provincial units showcased their creativity using sustainable materials. Meanwhile, 26 participants joined the “adopt-a-tree” competition, transforming simple trees into vibrant symbols of hope and holiday cheer.
Capoy highlighted that the lanterns and trees symbolize unity, compassion, and PRO-8’s dedication to serving communities.
“Even in challenging times, we stand together, guided by service and compassion,” he said, noting the event’s role in reminding everyone of the police’s mission to protect and uplift the public.
The colorful display not only lit up the PRO-8 compound but also set a joyful tone for the season, inspiring both personnel and the community to embrace the spirit of Christmas.
