-CABARROGUIS, Quirino, March 22 (PIA) -- Around 2,479 beneficiaries of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) received their two months’ cash grants yesterday at the Quirino gymnasium here.
+DIFFUN, Quirino, March 23 (PIA) -- To prevent crimes involving men riding in tandem on motorcycles in this municipality, the municipal council proposed the “no helmet zone” within the poblacion barangays here.
-Ma. Belen Ong, DSWD 2 provincial link, said a total of P5 million has been disbursed in the two municipalities: P3,883,800 for the 1,120,200 beneficiaries of Diffun and P1,137,200 for the 552 grantees in Cabarroguis.
+“The suspects used helmets to conceal their identity to the victims or to the witnesses of the crimes they committed,” Sangguniang Bayan Jovino Navalta, chairman of public order and safety committee, said.
-Ong added that the Pantawid program provides the beneficiaries cash grants of P500 a month for health and nutrition expenses and P300 a month per child (maximum of three children) for educational expenses.
+In the proposed ordinance, the “no helmet zone” will cover the area from Disinaba Bridge at Barangay Aurora West up to the street going to the Department of Environment and Natural Resources at Barangay Andres Bonifacio, from the irrigation canal at Barangay Isidro Paredes, from the siphon at Barangay Rizal and from the Diffun Water District Pump House at Nursery, Rizal, Diffun.
-The families are identified through the database of the National Household Targeting System for Poverty Reduction.
+Navalta said this is to easily identify the motorcycle riders who are planning to perpetrate crimes such as theft, robbery, holdup in the municipality.
-The Land Bank of the Philippines Cabarroguis branch facilitated the distribution of cash grants to the 4Ps beneficiaries.
+Based on police records, there were three robbery incidents involving motorcycle riding in tandem in March to April 2011.
-May Ble Lacob, financial analyst of the 4Ps based at DSWD central office, came to observe and assist in the activity and said the distribution in the two municipalities went smoothly, as beneficiaries were already oriented on what to bring and what to do during the cash pay-out.
+Navalta also allayed riders’ fears of possible accidents due to non-wearing of helmets while traversing the “no helmet zone” saying that accidents could be avoided if riders follow the prescribed speed limit under RA 4136, Chapter IV or the traffic rules.
-The next pay-out for the municipalities of Aglipay, Maddela, Cabarroguis, and Nagtipunan will be on sthe first week of April, according to the DSWD 2. (TCB-PIA 2)
+“On city and municipal streets, the speed limit should be 30 km per hour and in crowded streets, approaching intersections at blind corners, passing school zones, passing other vehicles which are stationery, or for similar dangerous circumstances, 20 km per hour,” Navalta explained.
+The Land Transportation Office Provincial head Ernesto Fernandez said the proposed ordinance is good and they will support as a means to stop the crimes involving motorcycle riders.
