Forum plots work for genuine peace in Tagum



TAGUM CITY, August 7, 2015 - The attainment of genuine peace and security in the City of Tagum is still a work in progress and it needs the concerted effort of all the stakeholders of the city to make it possible.

This is what Tagum City Mayor Allan L. Rellon stressed in his message before the people from different sectors who were gathered during the Enhanced Genuine Peace and Security Forum II held last July 30, 2015 at the Molave Hotel, Tagum City.

Mayor Rellon said that there are still things that need to be done before genuine peace and security in the city is fully achieved, stating, genuine peace and security is that wala na kining mga kriminalidad, mga butang nga makapahadlok or makapaluya nato, and sa pag-achieve nato niini, kitang tanan magtinabangay.” (there is no more criminality  or things that would scare us and in attaining it we should help one another)

The rationale of the forum which was presented by Acting City Planning Officer Arturo Manigo includes the presentation of the problems which hinder the growth and development of peace and security which the participants to last year’s peace forum were able to identify and the solutions propounded in relation to said problems, as well as the actualization or realization of the solutions that were suggested and considered.

The forum is a venue for the stakeholders of the City of Tagum to realistically assess the peace situation in Tagum City by recognizing the problems that are continuously besetting the city and coming up with solutions that best address these problems. It is also through the forum where the resources required, the responsible units and success indicators are identified.

On the other hand, newly installed Chief of Tagum City Police P/Supt. Lito E. Patay made a presentation of the accomplishments, gap analysis and strategies and innovations of their office, including their support to the Local Chief Executive in relation the their Patrol Plan 2013.

P/Supt. Patay also presented, as one of the strategies and innovations of their office, the Patrol Plan wherein the speed of their mobile vehicles patrolling the designated areas in the city are significantly decreased to 15 kph to 20 kph to enable the spotting of criminals and suspicious looking persons. He further stated that there has been a significant decrease in the criminal incidences of ransacking, snatching, robbery and shooting after last year’s holding of the first edition of the peace forum. (Richi D.
