BACOLOD City Councilor El Cid Familiaran said he supports the imposition of the “No ID, No Byahe” for tricycle and trisikads plying Barangay Estefania following the rape-slay of a 19-year-old student in the village.
Estefania village chief Jerry Tingson said earlier that starting May 22, they offer free ride, or “libre sakay” for their constituents, particularly call center agents and employees assigned on night shift as one of the preventive measures against possible crimes. Familiaran said he finds the policy fitting as this could be a deterrent to crimes and residents will be assured of their safety. The implementation of the “No ID, No Byahe” policy will take effect within two to three months since tricycle and trisikad drivers operating in the barangay are still in the process of completing their requirements and securing required clearances. Only licensed drivers of Barangay Estefania will be issued IDs. The barangay has provided two vehicles for residents of Estefania who want to avail of free ride or “libre sakay,” and each vehicle is assigned two barangay tanods. One vehicle is stationed at the barangay hall while the other is at the City Hall. Residents of Estefania, who take the vehicle from City Hall, will be dropped in their residences and will also be required to sign in a logbook. (CNC) Sun.Star
