Cordillera - Police from the Cordilleran Administrative region had become viral on social media in recent months for being the most disciplined Regional Police Office nationwide. 

Based on the report released by the National Police Commission (Napolcom), police officers from Cordillera were tagged as the most disciplined in the country. 

This was backed by the recent report from the Community Evaluation Survey that cops from Cordillera got near perfect scores for all indices: Satisfaction, Trust, Respect and Safety. 

Such good report is associated by the fact that cops who were raised in Cordillera followed the cultural belief of "Inayan", the fear to the perceived Supreme Being taught by their parents, grandparents and their elders in the community.

Cordilleran cops were also observed to be loyal and obedient to their elders.

For this reason, the PRO-COR Regional Police Director, PBGen. Israel Ehpraim Dickson said that the PNP Directorate for Human Resource and Doctrine has announced the designation of Cordillera cops to be a model for the creation of the Good Deeds Program that can be followed by the entire police force in the country.

Under the program, a council will be created that is similar to the Cordillera Council of Elders, which acts as a body that will instill respect and discipline among the police force.

PGen Dickson added that the PNP leadership is currently studying the effectiveness of the proposed program.

"Inaaral nila kung paano ginagawa ito sa Cordilera at gaano  kaeffective ang ginagawa natin dito na gagayahin na ng PNP leadership para maimplement sa lahat ng kapulisan dito sa Pilipinas," Dickson said via PTV Cordillera.

Cordillerans have a high respect to the Council of Elders as they are the ones who provide moral lessons and discipline. Their words and pieces of advice are meant to be followed.

The elders of Cordillera are keeping the culture of Inayan as the guiding principle for every Cordillerans to follow.

This culture along with other valued traditions still remain to be very important for every Cordillerans and they take these with them where ever they go.
