Bantay Bayan Pledges Assistance to City's Peace & Order Efforts

  Members of the re-organized BANTAY BAYAN met with Bacolod City officials headed by Secretary to the Mayor Roger Balo on September 20 to express the group’s support to the administration of Mayor Evelio Leonardia by extending assistance to the peace and order efforts of the City government.
     More then 30 members comprising the core group headed by Rodolfo Toledo conveyed their willingness to work hand in hand with local government in combating crimes and peace and order in the city.
     The group also assured the City government their assistance in disaster management since they have the logistics and equipment such as motorcycles.
     Balo disclosed that the group requested the assistance of the City in providing a small office space within the Bacolod Police Office for them to maintain their base. The request, he added, shall be forwarded to Mayor Leonardia and the Bacolod PNP for assessment.
     BANTAY BAYAN also expressed its intent for membership to the City Peace and Order Council once it completes the processes entailed in the accreditation of NGOs to the body. *(CMO-PIO/jmi)
