In a time when public trust in institutions is constantly being tested, individuals like Police Executive Master Sergeant (PEMS) Paquito Enriquez Chan remind us of what genuine public service looks like—selfless, unwavering, and grounded in compassion.
A seasoned officer under the Regional Mobile Force Battalion-CALABARZON, PEMS Chan has long been recognized not just for his service in law enforcement but for his deep commitment to community welfare. From the height of the pandemic to the aftermath of natural disasters, his presence has been consistent—offering help where it’s most needed, regardless of who is on the receiving end.
“Helping should know no boundaries—civilian or fellow officers, as long as it serves the nation,” Chan said, capturing the essence of true leadership.
Recently, Chan continued to live out these values by personally donating two-way radios, solar lights, and shooting goggles to support trainees of the Basic Internal Security Operation Course at Camp Melencio Sagun in Trece Martires City. These tools are more than equipment—they are lifelines that enhance the readiness and safety of future CALABARZON officers tasked with protecting communities.
Through the support of the Rotary Club of Las Piñas Central, where he is actively involved, Chan merges civic engagement with law enforcement service. This collaboration reflects his belief that the call to serve goes beyond uniforms and badges—it is a moral duty shared by all.
What makes Chan’s efforts so impactful is that they are not driven by recognition or rank. His initiatives are rooted in a personal conviction that public service must be inclusive, proactive, and, above all, humane. “Helping others should have no limits, because we all have a duty to our country,” he affirms.
PEMS Chan stands as a role model not only for his fellow law enforcers but for every citizen. His dedication proves that the heart of true public service lies in empathy, unity, and a relentless drive to uplift others.
At a time when society demands more accountability and compassion from those in power, Chan’s example is a powerful reminder: real change doesn’t always require a grand position—just the will to serve with purpose.
