GENERAL SANTOS CITY, Jan. 13 (PNA) – Concerned with the rising unsolved cases of killings here and the neighboring areas, Mindanao Development Authority (MinDA) chairperson Secretary Luwalhati Antonino has pushed for the assignment of additional policemen in the area. | |||
Antonino, who hails from this city, said in a radio interview that the recent killings perpetrated by motorcycle-riding gunmen were considered alarming and showed the need for more intensified law enforcement and security operations. | |||
She specifically cited the killing of local community newspaper publisher Christopher Guarin last January 5 and of city traffic enforcer Oliver Dayap the following day. | |||
Guarin was gunned down by two motorcycle-riding gunmen while on his way home while Dayap was shot by another suspect while earlier on duty in front of a shopping mall here. | |||
“I already had discussions with (Interior and Local Government) Secretary Jesse Robredo for the possible assignment of additional policemen here and other parts of Region 12 because the area really needs them,” Antonino said. | |||
In the meantime, she appealed to local residents to help local policemen in preventing the occurrence of crimes by becoming more vigilant, especially in reporting the movements of suspicious personalities. | |||
The city and several other parts of Region 12 or Southwestern Mindanao have been reeling from a series of shooting incidents in the last two years, most of which appeared to be the handiwork of suspected guns-for-hire. | |||
Region 12 covers the provinces of South Cotabato Sultan Kudarat, Sarangani, North Cotabato and the cities of General Santos, Koronadal, Cotabato, Kidapawan and Tacurong. | |||
Last year, the city government enacted an ordinance banning the carrying of firearms in public places and commercial establishments as part of its efforts to resolve the gun-related violent incidents in the area. | |||
