LAOAG CITY- The province of Ilocos Norte ordered the schools division of the Department of Education (DepEd) to regulate the putting up of barricades along the roads in front of schools. | |||
Atty. Windell Chua, provincial administrator, said that the province will coordinate with the barangay officials so that the barricades will only be put up when students are arriving and departing from school. The barangay tanods are usually the ones manning these barricades. | |||
For the Philippine National Police the barricades serve as obstacle to slow down crime suspects during hot pursuit operations. | |||
To some tourists visiting the province, the sight of barricades is like a scene in a conflict area thus affecting tourism in the area. | |||
Cecilai Aribuabo, DepEd superintendent in Laoag, said that they will coordinate with principals and officials of different schools to comply with the provincial government’s order. | |||
This year, the local government of Ilocos Norte is focusing on eliminating crimes and promoting “boating” tourism in the province. | |||
