As an additional security measure, a total of 46 elementary and secondary public schools in Bacolod City have been approved of a closed-circuit television camera surveillance system, Councilor El Cid Familiaran said yesterday.
The implementation, however, will still depend on Mayor Monico Puentevella. A budget of approximately P2 million will be allotted in installing the CCTV cameras, as this costs more or less P50,000 per school, he added. One of the 46 public schools that will benefit is the Negros Occidental High School (NOHS), which will receive tomorrow a 32-inch flat screen monitor and 16 CCTV cameras donated by the NOHS Class ‘78 led by Familiaran as class president. He also said the cable wiring in the CCTV camera installment is very expensive, but he assured the city has availed of a big discount from suppliers. “But this still depends on what Mayor Puentevella has to say,” Familiaran said. Familiaran added the city government may emulate Makati City in installing high-end cameras on major roads, as what they have experienced during their Lakbay Aral in Luzon last week. The proposal has been dubbed as “City’s Public Schools CCTV Ordinance” by Familiaran. This video surveillance system is aimed at recording factual evidence of crime, which the city plans to address./WDJ By Nicole Villavecer Watchmen Daily Journal
