To show his love to his girlfriend, an accountant left a profitable job to join the Philippine National Police.
The sacrifice paid off yesterday.
Jason Arandia, 26 and a resident of barangay Pagsabungan, Mandaue City, was one of the 354 new police recruits, who took their oaths yesterday morning at the Police Regional Office in Central Visayas (PRO-7) headquarters along Osmeña Boulevard, Cebu City.
Arandia told Cebu Daily News that he joined the police force to fully understand the job of his girlfriend, who was just a month away from becoming a nun when she decided to join the PNP in 2007.
PO1 Roanna Icot, 26, could not stop her tears from falling when she saw his boyfriend perform rigid exercises after the oath-taking.
Icot stood beside Arandia during the exercises and wiped his sweat after.
“Nihilak ko kay naluoy kaayo niya,â€said Icot.
Icot said she was first planning to become a nun.
But she later decided to become a policewoman when her older brother, also a policeman, was killed in an accidental shooting on March 04, 2007.
