Lamentillo receives award from PNPA alumni group

MANILA, Philippines — Anna Mae Yu Lamentillo was given the Adopted Lakan Award by the Philippine National Police Academy Alumni Association Inc. (PNPAAAI) during its 44th Grand Alumni Homecoming on March 8, which was also International Women’s Day.

“I am deeply honored for this recognition from my PNPAAAI family. Being part of this revered organization is already a privilege in itself. That is why I dedicate my work not only to uplifting my PNPA Class Bagsay-Lahi, but also to advancing the mission of the PNPA Alumni Association to contribute to the overall development of our nation,” Lamentillo said.

During the Duterte administration, Lamentillo was the chair of the Build Build Build committee of the Department of Public Works and Highways. She worked with the PNP for several projects that provided infrastructure facilities for various PNP units.

At the height of the pandemic, Lamentillo also worked with the PNP in building and managing isolation facilities and modular hospitals.

In 2022, Lamentillo was appointed undersecretary for public affairs and foreign relations of the Department of Information and Communications Technology. She extended assistance during the deliberation, evaluation and approval of the PNP’s three-year ICT-development roadmap.
