Agency Profile
Brief History
The dynamism of change seems to have always influenced the police
organization as it strives to meet with excellence the growing requirements
of public safety and hte role it plays toward our common quest for growth
and development.
Pursuant to Section 11 of General Orders Number 77 issued by Camp
Crame on May 31, 1977, the PC/INP Regional Command 2 came into being. In
1978, the PC/INP RECOM 2, as it was known then, established Headquarters
at the military reservation in Alimannao, Tuguegarao, Cagayan. Shortly,
thereafter, the camp was named after the late Governor Marcelo Adduru in
honor of his heroic deeds during the war and as a distinguished son of
Cagayan.
RECOM 2, the Command tasked to secure hte Cagayan Valley Region which
then included Kalinga, Apayao and Ifugao, created a name in its campaign
against insurgency for significantly reducing the dissidents' mass base and
military strength that gradually led to the collapse of their main operating
organs in the region. It, likewise, started a system of coordination with the
various sectors that bolstered its anti-criminality drive.
The dawn of the 90s brought with it another meaningful change for the
PC/INP with the enactment of RA 6975 that weaned the PC/INP from the
Armed Forces of the Philippines and took a new identity as the Philippine
National Police.
Thus, begun the colorful saga of Police Regional Office 2. Shedding off its
military orientation and focusing on people-oriented programs and projects
were huge tasks for an infant organization. Nevertheless, through a gradual
but systematic approach, PRO2 began to gain the people's respect and
support for its programs that were developed by regularly touching base with
the local government units, the church, the NGOs, the private sector, and all
the segments of our society.

Region 2, commonly known as "Cagayan Valley", seats on the

northeastern part of Luzon. It is endowed with vast track of rich agricultural
and pasture lands surrounded by mighty mountain ranges.
The region has five provinces of different topography, one of which is the
Batanes group of island north of the mainland largely separated by the great
expanse of the Balintang Channel. The provinces of Isabela, Cagayan and
Nueva Vizcaya are referred to as the valley provinces mainly because their
land areas are located along the Cagayan River basin which tributaries serve
to irrigate the agricultural plains. The province of Quirino is practically
mountainous as it is located within the Sierra Madre ranges.
With a total land area of some 2.68 million hectares, the region is the
fourth largest in the country. The City of Tuguegarao, the capital of Cagayan,
which is 495 kms north of Manila, also serves as the regions's capital. The
total population of the region is 2.8 million based on 2002 census.
The Cagayan Valley has provided and sustained the basic resources of the
country. It significantly supplies food, water and power not only to the
adjacent regions but impacts on the basic needs of the nation's capital. Much
of its comparative advantages come from an overwhelming abundance of
nature's blessings.
