Panabo City, Davao del Norte, October 5, 2015 - Task Force Kahapsay (TFK) confiscated
again rampant selling of “bote-bote” or retailing liquid Petroleum Products in
soda bottles, plastic containers, jugs and other similar portable containers
not intended or suited for storing, handling and dispensing gasoline
last September 24, 2015.
The TFK concentrated their operations especially
at barangays Quezon, Southern Davao, Gredu, New Visayas, Datu Abdul and
Cagangohan respectively.
This was the second confiscation made by the TFK
since it has been observed that illegal peddlers were increasing in numbers
after the first TFK operation. Furthermore, there were feedbacks challenging
the Administration of Mayor Engr. James G. Gamao to regulate if not stop such
illegal activity for it threatened public order and safety, peace and justice.
Thus, memorandum order # 871, series of 2015 was issued to curve such negative
situation.
There were some peddlers who reacted that due to
the difficulties in life (money matters) they resorted in illegal business of
peddling gasoline… “maayo kaysa mangawat”. Anyway, this illegal business
tantamounts to robbing the government of taxes and at the same time, depriving
of potential income to those who are legally doing business. These legitimate
businessmen are asking for justice on their part.
For in every privilege there is corresponding
responsibility. Furthermore, gathering/impounding highly flammable/dangerous
materials such as gasoline without safety standards is dangerous which will
create trouble sooner or later threatening public safety (life &
properties) and order.
Mayor Gamao wants a just, peaceful and orderly
city where Panaboans can truly be proud of and enjoy the fruits of
development which they deserve. (CIO Panabo)
