Mary Rose Marbil Champions Welfare of Police Personnel Through PNP OLC Foundation’s Initiatives

Foundation expands reach, focusing on health, family support, and spreading hope across the nation

QUEZON CITY, Philippines – Ms. Mary Rose P. Marbil, wife of the PNP Chief and head of the PNP OLC Foundation, Inc. (PNP OLCFI) is making significant strides in supporting the welfare of police personnel and their families nationwide. Transitioning from her corporate career in December 2024, Ms. Marbil has been utilizing her organizational expertise in this new role and is persistently working towards the expansion of the foundation\’s reach and impact.

Under Ms. Marbil\’s indefatigable leadership, the PNP OLCFI, which evolved from a club, focuses on assisting active and retired PNP personnel (uniformed and non-uniformed) and their dependents. The foundation prioritizes those facing critical illnesses like Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) and cancer—constituting about 80 percent of their beneficiaries. 

Through the \”LAB Virus Program\” (Love And Blessings Virus), the foundation distributes cash aid and health kits provided by the PNP Health Service, aiming to spread hope to afflicted individuals across all 17 Police Regional Offices. Ms. Marbil reported recently completing visits to all regions, managing three regional visits per week to maximize outreach.

Recognizing the health challenges faced by officers due to stressful work and reliance on instant food options, Ms. Marbil has also championed advocacy for healthier lifestyles within the force. Beyond health, the foundation supports police families by helping hone the future of our ‘little heroes’. To start, the foundation worked with the Quezon City LGU for the reopening of the Child Development Center within Camp Crame, fulfilling requirements under the Early Childhood Care and Development Act.

Inspired by family traditions of giving back, Ms. Marbil emphasizes the importance of supporting police officers, especially those in remote areas or the \”laylayan\” who face significant risks and public criticism. \”It\’s a circle of happiness,\” she explained, noting that supported officers are better positioned to serve the community effectively. She believes augmenting the PNP\’s budget and upgrading health facilities are crucial for their welfare.

As she focuses on ensuring the sustainability of these programs through potential partnerships with private foundations, Ms. Marbil hopes her successors will continue and enhance the foundation\’s vital work. Her commitment underscores a desire to ensure that those who serve and protect the nation are supported and valued.

The PNP OLC Foundation, Inc. is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing support and assistance to the uniformed and non-uniformed personnel of the Philippine National Police and their dependents. Under the guidance of its National Adviser, Mary Rose Marbil, the foundation implements various programs focused on health, welfare, and sustainable livelihood to help improve the lives of the police community.
