BATAC CITY, Ilocos Norte – The Office of the City Prosecutor of the ‘baby’ city of Batac, Ilocos Norte, headed by City Prosecutor Myra Nalupta-Barba, hosted this year’s second Regional Staff Meeting on October 26-27, 2011. The first day of the event featured a three-stage shooting competition among prosecutors of Region I, held at the Marcos Combat Shooters Range, in the Municipality of Paoay, Ilocos Norte. Around thirty prosecutors participated in the event with teams from Pangasinan, Ilocos Norte and La Union. The production division was topped by ACP Ferdinand D.V. Parayno, while ACP Roderick Atinaja ruled the standard division, single stack. Deputy Provincial Prosecutor Pablo Lachica earned first place in the standard division, hi-cap.
The shootfest was followed by an exhibition basketball game between the four-time national champion, Luzon team of prosecutors, and the champion basketball team of the IBP Ilocos Norte invitational. The basketball game was held at the Batac City Gym, which is at the heart of Batac City.
The second day of the event took place at the Kalipi Center, Batac City, where more than a hundred prosecutors and support staff of the Regional Prosecution Office I, convened. The delegates were awed by the intermission numbers of groups of high school students from Batac City, who showed off their talents and skills in the field of dance and gymnastics.
Aside from the usual presentation of Regional Prosecutor Nonnatus Caesar R. Rojas on the status of work performances of the city and provincial prosecution offices, the delegates were also encouraged to regularly visit the Regional Prosecution Office 1’s website, dojregionaloffice1.wordpress.com. The highlight of the RSM proper was the recognition of the region’s trial prosecutors, who gave exemplary performances, in their respective field offices.
