The Diocese of Bacolod and the residents of Barangay Alangilan, Bacolod City reiterated their call to the Bacolod City Government to move for a total cessation of quarry operations in Alangilan and to declare Alangilan a protected area.
A press release from the Social Action Center and the Most Holy Rosary Parish said a few weeks ago, the City of Bacolod brought the issuance of permit renewal to quarry operators in Barangay Alangilan to a standstill. It said it still stands, for the mayor sees that this is for the greater good. However, the Amlig Bukid Kilos Damig, a group of Alangilan residents and the Diocese of Bacolod continue to reiterate their call for the Bacolod City government for a total cessation of all quarry activities in the barangay, the release said. The release was signed by Most Holy Rosary Parish priest Rev. Fr. Farley Ray Santillan, Fr. Ernie Larida and SAC director Rev. Fr. Aniceto Buenafe Jr. Meanwhile, a resolution requesting the City Treasurer through the Mayor’s Office to assign collectors at the Bacolod City Police Office to collect fees from police blotter reports, police clearance, and similar records, is being proposed by Councilor El Cid Familiaran. The resolution said a monthly average of 4,000-5,000 people secure police clearance from the BCPO and the city collects about P436,000 from police clearance and other records. A committee conference on the matter will be conducted at 10 a.m. today at the Bacolod Sangguniang Panlungsod session hall by the SP Committee on Police, Security and Jail Management chaired by Familiaran. Familiaran has also proposed a resolution requesting the enforcement unit of the City Legal Office to intensify apprehension of minors at internet cafés or video houses during class hours as provided under City Ordinance 341, Series of 2007.*CGS BY CHRYSEE SAMILLANO Visayan Daily STar
