by Noel B. Najarro
BUTUAN CITY, Aug. 21 (PIA) -- The mounting congestion of both vehicular and pedestrian traffic and the problem of sanitation at the city’s school belt brought about the implementation by the city police of the so-called “Discipline Zone” in coordination with the local government of the city.
Butuan City Police Director PSSupt. Jose V. Carillo, announced this in a press conference to signal the implementation the program’s third phase, which is massive information campaign. To this end, Carillo said, he needed to enlist the help of the city’s tri-media.
Phase 1, which was the preparatory phase and Phase 2, which was the holding of the dialogue with the stakeholders had been successfully conducted, Carillo said. The fourth Phase will be the dry run and the fifth and final phase will be full implementation, he added.
In a briefing conducted at the start of the said press forum, PCInsp. Reynante N. Sibayton, chief of the Operation Branch of BCPO and commander of the Butuan City Police Station 1, pointed out some of the causes of the traffic-congestion in the area such as: illegal terminals, disregarding the loading/unloading zone, obstruction of the flow of traffic, illegal parking, disregarding the traffic lights, indiscriminate throwing of garbage, illegal peddling and smoking in public places.
City PNP Dir. Carillo said, that the project was embarked in proper coordination with the local government of the city, the LTTMO, together with the barangay officials, school administrators, PTA and the Drivers and Operators Association of the “Discipline Zone” affected areas.
The City Police, Carillo said, had initially implemented a similar zone as early as July in coordination with the local barangay unit of Brgy. Libertad, this city with positive results.

The posts will be manned by a police personnel, an LTTMO personnel and a barangay tanod (village police). This is purposely done, according to Hon. Culima to preempt any familiarity, thus preventing collusion to render exceptions or favor to any future apprehensions by any of the three personnel manning the posts. Supervising personnel from Butuan City Police Office will be assigned to inspect the post operation from time to time.
Carillo said that the posts will be manned 24/7, with the personnel from the City
Public Safety Company taking over the place of the LTTMO and Barangay Tanods beyond their working hours. He also emphasized that there will be “Zero tolerance.”
Among the laws and ordinances to be implemented includes: SP Ordinance 778-90 / 623-87 (Anti-Smoking in Public Places), SP Ordinace 767-70 as amended by SP Ordinace 1501 (Anti-Littering), SP Ordinace 300-65 / 359-56 (Loading and Unloading Zone), SP Ordinance 1044-94 (Jaywalking), SP Ordinance 959-93 (One-way along A.D. Curato St. from J.C. Aquino Ave., going south up to Noli Me Tangere St.), SP Ordinance 2045-96 (Use of Helmet for all Drivers and Backriders of Motorcycle), SP Ordinance 2216-99 (No Tricycle is allowed to Operate on National Highway), SP Orinance 2720-2005 (No Parking on Either side of J.C. Aquino Ave., from M. Calo St., to Narra Road) and the other city ordinances.
