and order situation
By Jennifer P. Gaitano
BUTUAN CITY, Aug. 16 (PIA) -- PSupt Nerio
Bermudo, the new officer-in-charge of Butuan City Police Office (BCPO), has
reported the peace and order situation of this city covering the period of July
1-31, 2012 during the City Peace and Order Council (CPOC) meeting.
Bermudo said crime incidents recorded from July
1-31, 2012 has decreased from 81 last year to 57 crime incidents of the same
period.
In Butuan City, it was learned that crimes
recorded for the month of July are robbery, theft, physical injury, murder,
homicide and rape.
Bermudo also said their office is continuously
implementing its campaign against illegal logging, illegal drugs, illegal
gambling, and apprehension of wanted persons.
“From the period of July 18 to August 15, we
have conducted four positive operations on our campaign against illegal logging,
two positive operations on our campaign against illegal drugs and arrested two
persons while we also conducted three positive operations on our campaign
against illegal gambling and arrested five persons,” said Bermudo.
Bermudo added BCPO has arrested 12 wanted
persons within the same period. They also continuously implement the Optical
Media Act of 2003 wherein three positive operations were conducted, arrested
two persons and confiscated 4,800 pieces of pirated CDs.
With the joint efforts of the city government
and the office of 1st District Las Nieves-Butuan City representative Jose
“Joboy” Aquino II, Bermudo said BCPO will be installing CCTV Cameras in
strategic areas within Butuan City so it would be easier to track or monitor
possible crimes.
The establishment of detachment/outpost in the
barangays of Bancasi and Ampayon was also raised as one of the issues and
concerns that BCPO asked assistance with the council. Another concern is their
request for the augmentation of Special Citizens Armed Forces Geographical Unit
Active Auxiliary (SCAA) personnel at the BCPO headquarters.
During the meeting, City Prosecutor Felixberto
Guiritan served as the presiding officer on behalf of City Mayor Ferdinand M.
Amante Jr. Some local government officials, together with regional directors
and representatives of different government agencies who are members of the
council, also reported their accomplishments related to the peace and order
situation in the city. (RER/JPG/PIA-Caraga)
Tagalog news: Caraga RDRRMC nagsagawa ng isang
Refresher/Orientation sa mga Earthquake Drill Evaluators
Ni Danilo S. Makiling
BUTUAN CITY, Agosto 16 (PIA) -- Ang Regional
Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (RDRRMC) sa rehiyon sa ng Caraga
ay nagsagawa ng isang refresher/orientation sa pag-e-evaluate ng earthquake
drills kamakailan sa isa sa mga lokal na convention centers dito.
Ang mga kalahok na evaluators ay mga miyembrong
ahensya ng RDRRMC sa pangunguna ng Office of Civil Defense (OCD) Caraga.
Dumalo rin ang ilang rescuers ng Butuan City
Search and Rescue Team at Agusan del Norte Emergency Rescue Team at nagbahagi
ng kanilang karanasan sa panahon ng mga paglindol.
Ipinaliwanag ni Marc Gil Calang, training officer
ng Office of Civil Defense (OCD), ang kahalagahan ng pagkakaroon ng kaalaman ng
evaluators sa panahon ng earthquake drill.
Aniya, ang pagsasagawa ng refresher/orientation
ay importante dahil na rin sa mga hindi tamang kaalaman ng mga evaluators.
Aniya, ang mga maling kaalaman ukol sa mga dapat
gawin kapag may lindol ay maaaring makapaglagay sa partisipante sa peligro sa
panahon ng makatutuhanang paglindol. "Kailangang parating nasa isipan ng
mga partisipante ang ‘Duck, Cover, and Hold' para maprotektahan sila sa mga
nahuhulog na bagay. Ito rin ang dahilan kung bakit ang RDRRMC ay nagsasagawa ng
refresher/orientation para sa mga dati at bagong focal person ng iba't ibang
ahensya ng gobyerno para maging maayos ang mga susunod na earthquake and fire drills,”
ani Calang.
Idinagdag din ni Calang na kailangan ang
kooperasyon ng mga partisipante upang maisagawa ng maayos drill at mapaghandaan
ang lindol.
Ang RDRRMC ay umaasa na ang lahat ng evaluators
ay taos-pusong magbibigay ng kanilang mungkahi at rekomendasyon upang mapaunlad
ang pagsasagawa ng drill sa iba't ibang establishemento at tanggapan.

Cebuano news: Gobyernong Aquino gidayeg ang mga
Filipino nga aktibong mipartisipar sa kampanya niini batok sa 'wang-wang'
mentality
Ni Susil D. Ragas
SURIGAO CITY, Agosto 16 (PIA) -- Gidayeg sa
administrasyong Aquino ang katawhang Filipino tungod sa aktibong pagpartisipar
sa kampanya ni Pangulong Benigno S. Aquino III batok sa “wang-wang mentality”
human nga ang usa ka telebisyon network mipagawas og usa ka video nga nagpakita
sa usa ka motorist nga gisukmag ang tigpatuman sa trapiko (enforcer) sa
Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA).
Gipagawas ni Presidential Spokesperson Edwin Lacierda
ang maong pamahayag atol sa regular press briefing didto sa MalacaΓ±ang
kagahapon Miyerkules human nga gibuhian sa You Tube ang maong video sa news
department sa TV5.
Tiyempo nga nakuhaan sa producers sa TV5 ang
motorista nga nailhang si Robert Blair Carabuena, usa ka resourcing supervisor
sa Philip Morris International nga gisukmag ang naka duty nga MMDA traffic
enforcer nga si Saturnino Fabros.
Ang maong insidente nahitabo didto sa Capitol
Hills Drive corner Tandang Sora, Quezon City niadtong Sabado.
“We commend our vigilant citizens who actively
seek accountability from individuals in both the public and private sectors. A
video taken by Karen Bernadette Keith, a researcher for the “T3: Kapatid Sagot
Kita” program of TV5, showing a person assaulting an enforcer of the Metro
Manila Development Authority (MMDA) was circulated online and sparked outrage
among our fellow citizens through social media," matud ni Lacierda sa
iyang pamahayag.
Matud pa ni Lacierda nga suportado sa
administrasyon ang lakang sa MMDA aron pagpapasaka og kaso batok sa maong
motorista.
"When people seek out and denounce the
abusive, we see our citizens taking an active part in the President’s drive
against the “wang-wang mentality.” This is a convergence that directly links
individuals, through social and traditional media, to broader efforts to
achieve social change, by bringing to light any possible wrongdoing," sa
iyang pagpasabot.
"Public engagement is the bedrock of
democracy. It is at its most potent and powerful when the constant scrutiny of
the citizenry serves as a deterrent to the illicit and unlawful," dugang
pa niya.
Sa dihang gipagawas ang maong video sa You Tube,
ang mga netizens gikan sa social networking sites sama sa Twitter mipadayag sa
ilang kadismaya sa gipakitang pagkaarogante sa maong motorist.
"Let us all continue to channel our efforts
towards permanently changing our individual and collective behavior for the
better," sulti ni Lacierda. (PIA-Surigao del Norte)
