BACOLOD City: The Bacolod City Peace and Order Council plans to
focus on two major areas of concern such as the solid waste
management and poverty alleviation of the city for this year,
reported Panay News.
Department of the Interior and Local Government
City Director Ireneo Asuga Jr. revealed that the council also
intends to address five issues related to peace and order in the
city which are the following: street crimes, traffic decongestion,
anti-drug abuse campaign, internal security and disaster
preparedness.
To date, the CPOC has initiated programs to
address the issues like the Family Drug Abuse Prevention Program in
Barangay Punta Taytay, Adopt-a-Tree Project in Barangay Alangilan
and the Eco-Aide Delight in Barangay Felisa.
Also, before the end of 2007, the council also
passed two resolutions to help ensure and promotes peace and order
of the city.
The secretariat of the CPOC is also awaiting a
team from the National Selection and Awards Committee to evaluate
the CPOC as finalist for the Best POC Awards for the Highly
Urbanized City Category.
