Cambay was
briefed on the SSCO’s accomplishments since its establishment in May last year
and maintained 24/7 operations amid the coronavirus pandemic to keep Zamboanga safe
and secured.
A simulation
exercise was also held during Cambay’s visit to show to the official the SSCO’s
capabilities to monitor, coordinate and response during
emergencies or incidents.
Cambay commended the SSCO for its contributions to the local
police force which was awarded as “Best City Police Office” in the country last
year.
The SSCO is the brain child of Mayor Beng Climaco with
security as one of her top priority programs. The police force and the military
are also recipients of patrol cars donated by Climaco to help authorities
maintain peace and order.
Cambay, a member of the
Philippine Military Academy Class 1989, is new in the western Mindanao region and
replaced Brigadier General Froilan Quidilla, who retired at age 56.
He was previously the Deputy Regional Director for
Administration and Deputy Director for Operations in Western Visayas, and was
largely credited for the 2018 peaceful and orderly rehabilitation of Boracay
Island as commander of the 600-strong Metro Boracay Task Force helping the Department
of Environment and Natural Resources.
He was also awarded during last year’s 118th Police Service Anniversary
for his effort in the six-month Boracay rehabilitation program ordered by
President Rodrigo Duterte.
Cambay, a native of the small Ifugao town of Lagawe, also served as the
Director of Philippine National Police (PNP) Intelligence Group in March this
year, according to Major Helen Galvez, a regional police spokeswoman.
Galvez said Cambay’s designation was approved by PNP Chief, General
Archie Francisco Gamboa upon the recommendation of the PNP Senior Officers
Placement and Promotion Board.
Despite being new in his post, Cambay is very active and even went out of his headquarters here to personally commend policemen and anti-narcotics agents for their recent accomplishment that led to the arrest of a 17-year old drug dealer and the recovery of a kilo of crystal meth.

Cambay’s good example as regional police chief further boosted the
morale of policemen here under equally hardworking Zamboanga police director Colonel Thomas Joseph Martir. (Zamboanga Post)
