MAASIN CITY, Southern Leyte, Dec. 30 (PIA) -- Police elements here made sure their guns will be silent as they welcome the New Year.
MAASIN CITY, Southern Leyte, Jan. 2 (PIA) -- Except for the gunshot wound, it is a scorecard worth emulating. This province maintained its record for the second year of zero casualties reaching hospitals resulting in firecracker burns at the height of the usually boisterous New Year’s eve celebration.
P/Supt. Hector Enage, City Police Chief on Tuesday, December 27 led the muzzle taping of the firearms of all the cops under his command including the two Police Community Precincts (PCP) stationed at barangay Tawid and at barangay San Rafael in a simple ceremony held here.
As of 8:00 a.m. yesterday, there was no firecracker-related cases registered at the Salvacion Oppus Yniguez Memorial Provincial Hospital (SOYMPH) in this city and at Sogod District Hospital (SDH).
“We are doing this in compliance with a directive from our higher-ups and, besides that, to make sure no Police officer would indulge in indiscriminate firing at the height of the New Year celebration” at midnight of December 31-January 1, Enage said in a phone interview with Philippine Information Agency (PIA) today.
The zero incidence of firecracker injury showed that the heightened advocacy campaign of the Department of Health (DOH) on “Aksyon Paputok Injury Reduction (APIR) was successful, even as the Philippine National Police (PNP) and the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) also did their share in issuing public precautions for their “Iwas Paputok” campaign.
Enage said it will be on January 2 when the tape on barrels will be removed, exactly a week after they were tightly secured.
At SDH, it was learned that one Rodel Renoblas, 21, single, resident of barangay Tampoong, Sogod, was rushed to the hospital a few minutes past midnight after he sustained a gunshot wound at the back. (PIA-Southern Leye/bong)
In spite of the usual imposition, Enage was hopeful no one among his men would violate the order, just like in previous years.
Meanwhile, unlike last year, there was no incident of budol-budol fraud in the run-up to the holidays and Enage attributed this to the strong visibility of Police Officers, where every bank was watched, as well as in areas where many people were crowding, such as in shopping stores.
With only two days remaining in 2011, Enage said he will not let his guard down to ensure no one will be fooled at the close of this year. (PIA-Southern Leyte/bong)
