Both Beltejar and Simborio, received their awards
given to them by Vice Governor Carlo Loreto held at the provincial headquarters

During Simborio’s stint as provincial police
director, Leyte received numerous awards and citations relative to peace and
order management, said the vice governor.
Loreto said that both police officials played very
crucial roles in many successful operations in the province of Leyte notably in
resolving the Hilongos blast incident last December 28, 2016 that injured 32
people with the terror Maute Group as responsible for the explosion.

illegal drugs in the province was neutralized.
