The municipality
of Hinigaran in southern
Negros Occidental has declared itself “peaceful and ready for further
development.”
The declaration was formalized during the signing rites held
Monday led by Vice Mayor Teresita Gabrido, Councilors Ernesto Adrian Aguilar
and Oscar Catalino Yulo, with Col. Jon Aying, commander of the Army’s 303rd
Infantry Brigade, and Lt. Col. Paulito Idul, commanding officer of 11th
Infantry Battalion.
The ceremonial signing was held after the Sangguniang Bayan
of Hinigaran passed a resolution declaring the town as “peaceful and ready for
further development,” making it the first local government unit in Negros
Occidental to declare itself as such.
The 303rd IB is eyeing to declare the whole province of Negros Occidental as peaceful and ready
for further development by June this year.
Aying said a similar signing activity may soon be held for Bacolod City and the whole Fourth District of
Negros Occidental possibly by the end of this month.
As part of the preparations for the takeover of internal
security operations (ISO) in Negros Occidental by the Philippine National
Police from the Philippine Army, the Police Regional Office-6 has started to
distribute equipment for ISO to provincial police offices and 6th Regional
Public Safety Battalion (RPSB).
During the flag-raising ceremony at PRO-6 headquarters in
Iloilo City Monday, 500 rifle slings and 499 chest rigs were distributed to 6th
RPSB, Aklan, Antique, and Guimaras Police Provincial Offices.
The purchase of ISO equipment is among the priority projects
of Chief Supt. Josephus Angan, regional police director of Western
Visayas , who said that it is meant to fully equip their men in the
field to improve their ISO capabilities.
Almost 300 boxes of finger slab ink and finger print rollers
will also be distributed to city and municipal police stations in Negros
Occidental and Panay , Angan said.
