Three Bacolod councilors have filed separate resolutions in the Sangguniang Panlungsod (SP) requesting for intensified security and police visibility especially during night time at the Bacolod People’s House (BPH), to deter crimes and protect the public, particularly the joggers, in the area.
Councilors Claudio Jesus “Kalaw” Puentevella, El Cid Familiaran and Caesar Distrito filed their respective resolutions following the alleged rape incident in the comfort room of the Annex Building of BPH, last week. The resolutions pushed for tightened security at the BPH, to avoid recurrence of the incident. Councilor Puentevella, in his resolution, is requesting the assistance of Senior Insp. Benedicto Villarias, chief of Police Station 4, and the Office of the City Mayor for additional personnel to monitor and secure the BPH grounds. For his part, Familiaran seeks the aid of Senior Supt. Pedrito Escarilla, officer-in-charge of Bacolod City Police Office (BCPO), and the General Services Office (GSO) for additional security at the BPH premises. Distrito, on the other hand, is pushing for increased police visibility at the BPH, as he pointed out that the rape of the 20-year old victim by a 27-year old mechanic has alarmed the general public, especially those who frequently visit the area, considered as one of the attractions of the city. The three councilors claimed that the recent incident “calls for more proactive action, especially that BPH is a place where activities abound on a daily basis.”/WDJ By Glazyl Jane Marie Y.
