The Bacolod City Police Office (BCPO) should implement the NO GUN FIRING POLICY on the new year’s eve of December 31. The Resolution authored by Counilor Cl Cid Familiaran was approved by members of the Sangguniang Panlungsod during the regular session yesterday.
Familiaran stated in the resolution to urge BCPO director Police S/Supt. Ricardo dela Paz on this matter because incidents of gun firing during New Year, especially on its Eve has cost innumerable lives of innocent civilians, a number of them children. He also said, aside from proofs as there were victims, in several situations, following the conclusion of New Year celebration, more often than not, piercing galvanized iron-roof bullet heads were usually found inside a home, even beside one’s bedroom, if not along with the debris of firecrackers and empty bullet shells, all showing that really there are individuals considered to be irresponsible gun holders, if not, illegal gun possessors. While the burden lies with the police personnel to observe the “no gun firing” policy during new year’s eve as they are supposed to lead and follow the command, however, to minimize the anxiety of people and for safer New Year’s celebration, there is a need for the Bacolod City Police Office to expand the coverage of prohibiting anyone of gun firing as we celebrate the upcoming New Year. Relevant to this, BCPO director dela Paz already sealed or covered with masking tape the muzzles of policemen’s guns during the taping yesterday morning. The ceremony was a symbol of “no gun firing” policy during new year’s eve, which was also ordered by Regional Director of PRO 6 P/Chief Supt. Cipriano Querol, Jr.* Edith B. Colmo Visayan Daily Star
