On 22 April 2026, the Chinese Filipino Business Club, Inc. (CFBCI) paid a courtesy visit to Col. Joseph G. Talento, Chief of Police of Valenzuela City, at the Valenzuela City Police Station. The CFBCI delegation was led by President Gerald Uy Chan and included Executive Vice President Paul Yeung, Welfare Committee Vice Chairman Eduardo Tan, and Organizational Committee Vice Chairman Robert Ong Jr.

The engagement provided a platform to identify areas of collaboration, with discussions focused on strengthening public safety initiatives, enhancing community engagement, and improving coordination between the private sector and local law enforcement.

During the meeting, CFBCI officers presented their respective businesses operating in Valenzuela City. Col. Talento noted with appreciation that, beyond generating employment, Chinese-Filipino entrepreneurs are actively involved in social welfare initiatives that benefit local communities.

Col. Talento also outlined the operational realities faced by the Valenzuela police force. With 667 officers serving a population of 830,063, the current police-to-population ratio stands at approximately 1:1,284—significantly above the ideal ratio of 1:500. To address this constraint, the police have adopted technology-driven solutions to improve deployment efficiency and operational monitoring.

Among these innovations is the use of high-frequency radios equipped with cameras and GPS, enabling real-time communication, enhanced transparency, and greater accountability during police operations. The CFBCI delegation was given a demonstration of the device and expressed support for these modernization efforts.

The discussion also covered the police force’s alignment with the Department of the Interior and Local Government’s Safer Cities initiative, particularly through the strengthened enforcement of local ordinances. CFBCI, in turn, conveyed its commitment to support efforts that promote general welfare, maintain peace and order, and uphold public safety in Valenzuela City.

The visit concluded with an exchange of tokens, with CFBCI presenting a special gift and its 14th Biennial National Convention souvenir magazine, while Col. Talento presented commemorative mugs to the delegation.
