CALAPAN CITY, Oriental Mindoro, November 12 (PIA) -- Sounding alarmed on the recent spate of “riding-in-tandem” gun-killings in the southern parts of Oriental Mindoro, Governor Alfonso V. Umali, Jr. has called on the people here recently to help preserve the province’s peaceful image by working or closely coordinating with the local law enforcers. | |||
Umali, who is also a member of President Aquino’s official cabinet representing local government units (LGUs) in the country, made the appeal following the series of murders involving motorcycle riding-in-tandem suspects which happened mostly last October. | |||
Meanwhile, the Philippine National Police (PNP) here, headed by Provincial Police Director, Sr. Supt. Anthony S. Alcañeses, is proposing all LGUs in the province of Oriental Mindoro to pass a local law or ordinance mandating all motorcycle owners and drivers to wear helmets with printed or inscribed figures corresponding to their vehicles’ plate numbers when driving. | |||
According to Alcañeses, his office has recorded in October alone a total of nine cases of shooting incidents, six of them were committed by motorcycle riding-in-tandems. | |||
Umali stated in a hastily-called press conference he called at the provincial capitol recently that while the provincial government, together with the local PNP command, maintains that Oriental Mindoro is generally peaceful despite the latest shooting incidents, he still calls on Mindoreños to work and coordinate with all law enforcers here in averting similar occurrences. | |||
Umali wants the people here to help preserve peace and order as the province welcomes its 61st founding anniversary on November 15. | |||
The governor called on all police chiefs here, led by Col. Alcañeses, and some mayors to face the media here to tell what they are doing in their respective areas in this province in responding to these latest criminalities. | |||
Oriental Mindoro Bishop Warlito Cajandig, of the Apostolic Vicariate of Calapan, also attended the press briefing and issue a statement calling on the PNP here to “get its acts together” and plan prevention not only solution against crimes. | |||
It can be noted that from October 27 to October 30, three gun-slaying incidents involving high-profile individuals and riding-in-tandem suspects happened all in the southern parts of the province. | |||
Riding-in-tandem suspects shot dead the husband of the provincial social welfare officer in Pinamalayan town last October 30, while on October 29 and 27, a local politician and a husband of local broadcaster, respectively, were shot dead in similar fashion.
