Bacolod Councilor El Cid Familiaran, chair, SP Committee on Police, Security and Jail management, had resolved during the public hearing of his committee yesterday, urging the City Treasurer’s Office to assign a collector at the Bacolod City Police Office to receive payments for fees from those who secure police clearances.
This is to lessen the burden of those securing police clearance who go back and forth to the city hall and BCPO. Reportedly, the city has an average monthly collection of P436,000.00 from an average of 4,000 to 5,000 people who secure police clearances from BCPO. Present during the committee hearing were City Treasurer Annabelle Badajos, acting Bacolod City Police director Senior Supt. Celestino Guara, Councilor Elmer Sy, Human Resource Officer Erman Aguirre and Executive Assistant Vicente Petierre Sr. who represented the Mayor’s Office. Another public hearing will be held today by the Familiaran committee wherein he will push for the enforcement of City Ordinance 341, which authorizes the enforcement unit of the City Legal Office to intensify the apprehension of students who are at the internet cafes or video houses during class hours. It has been observed that minors, most of them in school uniforms, are seen in the internet cafes during class hours, instead of attending classes in school. The teachers have also complained that school attendance of some students in some classes are very poor. Parents have aired similar complaints, because in several occasions their children have rebelled against them which they believe is caused by what they have seen in the internet or video centers. Section 3 of C.O. 341, (regulated hours for persons 16 years old and below), children are prohibited to enter internet cafes or video houses during class hours. This Ordinance according to Familiaran should be enforced continuously. By Edith B. Colmo Negros Daily Bulletin
