Mayor proposes action
points to address crimes
Speaking before police and military officials and
personnel, guests and participants to a public safety workshop dubbed
Zambasulta Area-wide Target Hardening: an advocacy campaign on operationalizing
the “whole of nation” approach against terrorism and criminality in a local
hotel Tuesday morning, the mayor cited among the others the urgent need for
intelligence fusion in the ZAMBASULTA area in a bid to ensure security and
public safety in this part of Mindanao.
Mayor Climaco said there should be merging of
intelligence activities of all police and military units in the Zambasulta
area. She stressed that all reports related to security should be property
validated and that there should be dissemination of real time intelligence
report for pre-emptive response.
Present during the event were Tawi-tawi Gov.
Norbert Sahali; Executive Director Oscar Valenzuela, Anti-Terrorism Council-
Program Management
Center Western
Mindanao .
Other proposed measures include strict monitoring
of movement of foreign and local terrorists; evaluate effectivity of people on
the ground and creation of an Area Action Center
of local government unit for the PNP, Armed Forces of the Philippines
The chief executive likewise called on the PNP
and the Philippine Center on Transnational Crime (PCTC) to fully support the Anti-Kidnapping
Group on logistics and guidance of LGU from negotiation to release; brief LGU
through the crisis management team in handling kidnapping, bombing and other
incidents; harmonize BPATS, BDAC and BCPC for barangay response and update
standard operation procedures for first responders to avoid human rights cases.
Finally, the mayor also suggested the enhancement
of AKG operational capability; that the overall strategy must be the safety of
people through pre-emptive measures and that the response to incidents
should be pro-active rather than reactive. The Bureau of Immigration and
Deportation (BID) should also have close coordination with concerned agencies
with regards to undesirable aliens particularly international and local
terrorists.
Mayor Climaco offered these action points in line
with her administration’s priority plan on peace and security. “This is
something that we in the LGUs need, we need the support from the national
government so we can take care of our own security and domestic problems.”
The mayor emphasized that aside from Health and
Education, security is her priority thrust. “Our vision is to have a safe
and crime-free city so that our children can enjoy a vibrant, investor-friendly
economy that is globally-competitive, able to provide jobs to its people and
can secure a better future for our children.”
It is also the city’s vision to have a
disaster-ready community that shall be able to respond to natural calamities
and secure lives of its people.
Sulu Vice Governor Abdusakur Tan, who was also
present during the workshop’s opening program also set security challenges
besetting the province
of Sulu
The
advocacy campaign and public security workshop is in line with the President’s
directive to the Cabinet Cluster on Security, Justice and Peace last August to
intensify the government’s efforts on target hardening amidst the then spate of
bombings in Mindanao . Participants to
the activity were local chief executives, other local government leaders,
regional heads of concerned National Government Agencies (NGAS), sectoral
leaders and law enforcement and security officials of Region 9 and ARMM-Island Provinces
