NO less than Caloocan City Mayor Oscar “Oca” Malapitan is ordering the local police to make sure that law enforcers are strategically deployed near all schools – private and public – so that returning students would be protected against lawless elements.
As unsuspecting students as well as school personnel return to their respective schools, this is the time that these criminal elements would take advantage of the situation to victimize them and carry out their illegal activities.
Mayor Malapitan, as a result, instructed Larry Castro, head of the city’s Department of Public Safety and Traffic Management, to closely coordinate with local police chief Senior Supt. Bernard Tambaoan and the entire officials from Caloocan’s 188 barangays to ensure the safety of students and school personnel.
“We will not allow these criminal elements to victimize our innocent students and school personnel, we have enough law enforcers that will come together to protect them and secure all the schools, private or public,” says the mayor.
On orders from the mayor, the City Engineer’s Office and Office of the City Building Official have also been conducting building inspections and retrofitting of public buildings, including schools to help them withstand a strong earthquake.
At least 60 school buildings and a total of 546 classrooms have undergone maintenance to make them more disaster-resilient.
Moreover, the city’s Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office had been conducting risk reduction and management orientation and seminars to school personnel and employees.
An estimated 180,000 elementary pupils and 96,000 high school students were expected to have enrolled this school year in Caloocan.
QC’s SGH
IN nearby Quezon City, some P5 million have been earmarked by the local government that’ll be used in the implementation of Barangay Seal of Good Housekeeping (BSGH) award which will start this year.
Mayor Bistek Bautista just signed into law Ordinance No. 2273 which adopts the seal of good housekeeping, an initiative by the Department of Interior and Local Government, for the city’s 142 barangays, according to its prime mover, Vice Mayor Joy Belmonte.
QC’s Seal of Good Housekeeping is the city’s version that aims to advance primacy of performance, accountability, transparency and participation.
BSGH will have two levels of seal – the Gawad Huwarang Pamamahala Award as the second level of seal and the Dangal ng Lungsod Award being the highest level of the seal.
The program encourages the entire villages within the territorial jurisdiction of QC to aspire for excellence and aggressively scale up interventions aimed at the practice of good government.
Among the criteria are full compliance with the barangays’ full disclosure policy on the local budget and finances, posting of bids and public offering in three conspicuous places as well as the localized full disclosure policy portal, at least eight percent average rating in DILG Barangay Governance Performance Management System and at least 80 percent average rating in QC Barangay Legislative Services Assessment.
