Liga lauds Carillo on Adopt a barangay Project


By REY V. POLOYAPOY
BUTUAN City – The members of Liga ng mga Punong Barangay praised the Butuan City police for its “one policeman for every barangay” project last Thursday.
    This developed when a team of Butuan City Police Office personnel headed by Senior Supt. Jose V. Carillo launched the Adopt-a-Barangay Project of their office during the monthly regular session of the Liga ng mga Punong Barangay held at Imadejas Convention Center this city.
    A few minutes into the session, Hon. Nestor D. Amora, Liga President, following on the list of topics in their agenda, turned over the floor to the visiting policemen.
    Police Superintendent Joseph B. Boquiren, Chief of the Police-Community Relations Branch, BCPO, gave the preliminaries and the background of the project.
    Carillo explained to the punong barangays the nature of the project as embodied in the Letter of Instruction prepared by his office previously.
    The project’s scheme provides for the assignment of one policeman for every barangay to coordinate with the local officials and act as liaison officer between the police and the barangay unit.
    The assigned policemen will also act as representative of the police to discuss matters regarding the maintenance of peace and order in the area during the regular meeting with the Barangay-Based Institutions such as: Barangay Peace and Order Council (BPOC), Barangay Anti-Drug Abuse Council (BADAC), Barangay Council for Protection of Children (BCPC), and to include the barangay Tanod organization.
    After the presentation of the project, Hon. Menelio Galan of Barangay San Ignacio immediately moved for the adoption of the above project by the Liga ng mga Punong Barangay and was readily approved by the body.
