When help is miles away, Pudtol cops answer the call
In the far-flung municipality of Pudtol, Apayao, where access to emergency medical services can be limited and every minute matters, the swift response of police officers can make the difference between life and death.
This was demonstrated on May 31, 2026, when personnel of the Pudtol Municipal Police Station (MPS) immediately responded to a report involving a resident who suddenly lost consciousness inside a home. Upon receiving the report, PCpl Juren Salvador, a member of PSBRC Class 2019-02 “Gilas-Diwa” and a native of Kalinga; PCpl Harvey Duran, a member of PSBRC Class 2019-02 “Gilas-Diwa” and a native of Pudtol, Apayao; and Pat Cyrus Andrie Baysa, a member of PSBRC Class 2020-05 “Sibat-Talas” and a native of Pudtol, Apayao, promptly proceeded to the location to render assistance.
Upon arrival, the responding officers found the individual unconscious and in need of urgent medical attention. Without hesitation, they carefully carried the patient out of the residence and safely transported the individual to the nearest hospital for immediate medical evaluation and treatment.
The officers’ prompt actions ensured that the patient received timely medical care. As of press time, the patient has since regained consciousness, received proper treatment, and is now recovering and in stable condition—safe and out of danger.
In municipalities such as Pudtol, where distance and terrain can present challenges during emergencies, rapid police response remains a critical lifeline for residents. Through their dedication, compassion, and readiness to serve, the personnel of Pudtol MPS continue to demonstrate that police service goes beyond law enforcement—it is also about protecting lives and extending help when communities need it most.
