OZAMIZ POLICE MAJOR MAKES HISTORY AS FIRST ACTIVE LADY COP FROM STATION TO PASS THE BAR

via Bhal Abad Cabrera | January 9, 2026

OZAMIZ CITY, Misamis Occidental — By day, she helps run a police station. By night, she opened law books and reviewed case doctrines — quietly chasing a goal few in uniform dare to attempt.

Police Major Euridecy Revillas, Deputy Chief of Police of the Ozamiz City Police Station, has etched her name in local police history after passing the September 2025 Bar Examinations. She is the first personnel of the Ozamiz City Police Station to take — and pass — the Bar while in active service.

For Revillas, the journey was never about titles. It was about growth, service, and understanding the law beyond enforcement. As deputy chief, she carries the weight of leadership — overseeing operations, guiding personnel, and ensuring public safety — responsibilities that rarely pause for personal ambition.

Yet between duty calls, inspections, and command conferences, Revillas carved out time to study. Long hours after shifts became review sessions. Weekends turned into quiet battles with codals and jurisprudence. There were no shortcuts — only discipline, perseverance, and faith.

Her success breaks a long-standing barrier within the station. While many police officers aspire to further studies, few reach the Bar, and none before her had taken on the challenge while holding a senior post in the Ozamiz City Police Station.

Colleagues describe Revillas as steady and focused — the same qualities that carried her through both police leadership and legal training. Her achievement now stands as a symbol of what is possible when public servants refuse to limit themselves to a single role.

As a newly minted lawyer and a police officer, Revillas bridges two worlds that shape justice on the ground. Her dual role strengthens investigations, safeguards rights, and reinforces trust in law enforcement — proving that understanding the law deeply is as vital as enforcing it.

The City Government of Ozamiz, through the leadership of Mayor Sam Norman G. Fuentes, formally recognized Revillas’ achievement, citing not only her historic Bar success but also her invaluable contribution in attaining peace and order in the city. The city official said her discipline, professionalism, and commitment to public service embody the Asenso brand of service — where excellence in duty, continuous self-improvement, and respect for the rule of law translate into safer communities and stronger public trust.

More than a personal victory, Revillas’ Bar success stands as a shared triumph for the Ozamiz City Police Station — a story of firsts, quiet courage, and a woman in uniform who chose to rise not only for herself, but for the institution she serves and the city she protects.

NEW YEAR’S GREETING

My fellow Ozamiznons,

As we enter the New Year (2026), I speak to you not only as your City Mayor, but as a fellow citizen who shares your daily struggles, hopes, and dreams for a better Ozamiz.

The past year has tested us—economically, socially, and emotionally. Yet through these challenges, one truth became clear: government must work, and it must work for the people. Under the Asenso Brand of Service, our administration chose to govern with direction, discipline, and compassion—placing public service above politics, and people above personal interests.

This New Year, I make this commitment clear and firm: we will continue to strengthen basic services, protect peace and order, support jobs and livelihoods, and ensure that public funds are spent responsibly and transparently. Every peso must serve a purpose. Every program must reach the people it is meant for. This is not a promise for applause—this is a responsibility we owe to every Ozamiznon.

We will prioritize those who need government the most—the poor, the working families, our farmers and fisherfolk, our youth, senior citizens, and persons with disabilities. No sector will be ignored. No community will be left behind.

As your Mayor, I will continue to lead with honesty, accountability, and firmness when needed—because leadership is not about popularity, but about doing what is right for the city. With unity, vigilance, and active participation from our people, we can move Ozamiz forward—stronger, fairer, and more resilient.

This New Year, let us choose progress over division, service over self-interest, and hope over fear.

Happy New Year, Ozamiz.
Together, we move forward for Kanunay Asenso Ozamiz.
