Naming and Renaming of PNP Camps

Section 25 of Republic Act No. 6975 (the “Department of the Interior and Local Government Act of 1990,” as amended by Republic Act No. 8551) establishes the organizational composition of the Philippine National Police (PNP), including offices and stations.
The proclamation recognizes that the PNP includes the named camps and facilities to be designated by this measure.
Republic Act No. 10086 (the “Strengthening Peoples' Nationalism Through Philippine History Act”) requires the State to strengthen nationalism, love of country, and respect for heroes and pride in accomplishments by reinforcing national and local history in daily life.
The proclamation follows the National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP) Revised Guidelines on the Naming and Renaming of Streets, Public Schools, Plazas, Building, Bridges and Other Public Structures (NHCP Guidelines).
The NHCP Guidelines provide that public places may be named or renamed by the President through a Proclamation or by Congress through legislation.

The proclamation states that proposed names must have historical and cultural significance and must contribute to the development of national pride.
The proclamation states that the proposed names must be appropriate in terms of historical value and significance to the place being named or renamed.
The proclamation is motivated by the fitting recognition of former servicemen who showed patriotism, courage, and dedication in serving assigned provinces and municipalities, and who distinguished themselves in service to the nation.
The naming and renaming are made in honor of those distinguished service achievements.

The proclamation names and renames specific PNP camps and real properties located in specified cities and municipalities across Camarines Sur, Albay, Sorsogon, Oriental Mindoro, and related administrative areas.
The proclamation identifies two donated lots under PNP custody and designations by geographic location and responsible PNP offices.
The proclamation also designates named PNP facilities for operational commands and battalion units.
The proclamation includes the renaming of an existing PNP camp formerly known by its original designation.

The donated lot to the PNP in Pasacao, Camarines Sur is named “Camp Brigader General Ludovico Padilla Arejola.”
The donated lot assigned to PRO 5 is named “Camp Captain Salvador Jaucian Del Rosario, Sr.”
The Camarines Sur Police Provincial Office is named “Camp Colonel Juan Querubin Miranda.”
The 504th Maneuver Company Regional Mobile Force Battalion 5 is named “Camp Police Max Jim Ramirez Tria.”
Camp Efigenio C. Navarro, also known as PRO MIMAROPA Headquarters, is renamed “Camp Brigadier General Efigenio C. Navarro.”

The proclamation is executed by the President through signature and Presidential seal, with LUCAS P. BERSAMIN, Executive Secretary, signing in attestation.
The proclamation is issued in the City of Manila on December 20, 2023.
