“By returning a lost item, we make a good example. We are glad that we made our TMU and LGU-Panabo proud,” said Dimpas. He is working as an enforcer for about 1 month.
Dimpas and Burdo both received certificate of recognition during the Monday Convocation program. Signed by the City Mayor, the certificate emphasizes the integrity and rectitude of the traffic enforcers as employees of the LGU-Panabo that is worthy to be emulated by all.
