LTO 3rd District conducts Deputation and Re-orientation seminar

LTO 3rd District Chief of Office Noel Barbacena begins the seminar with LTO's system on licensing.

The Land Transportation Office (LTO) 3rd District conducted a two-day Deputation and Re-orientation seminar for Philippine National Police (PNP) Personnel on 21-22 July 2015 at Tuburan, Ligao City. Participated by 69 PNP Personnel from Ligao City, Guinobatan, Oas, Polangui, Pioduran, Jovellar, Libon, and Camalig, the seminar aims to re-orient the participants with existing transportation and traffic laws as well as update them with the changes in the LTO system. Likewise, the activity addresses the need to increase the number of deputized PNP Personnel that will reinforce transportation and traffic laws.

LTO Assistant Regional Director Vince Nato said that there is a need for more deputized PNP Personnel to monitor road safety of drivers and pedestrians. Every year, around 60,000 new vehicles are added in the Bicol region, according to ARD Nato. He also added that 60% of crimes committed in the region involve vehicles. Congressman Fernando V. Gonzalez also emphasized the existing problem with the increasing road violations and accidents due to lack of deputation. Law enforcement officers are tied up because they are not authorized to enforce land transportation laws, rules, and regulations such as R.A. 4136.

Ligao City Mayor Patricia Gonzalez-Alsua advised the participants to be strict in enforcing traffic laws. She emphasized that the rules and regulations must apply to all and no special treatment must be displayed to selected persons who committed a violation. ARD Nato, however, reminded the participants to use their power righteously and not abuse their authority.

Christmas kickstarters: LGU, PNP, BJMP staff shines on Christmas Cheers

Last night, employees of the Local Government Unit of Ligao City, together with the Philippine National Police (PNP) and Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP), have once again performed in their best suit. This time, however, not as public servants but as entertainers showcasing their talents to bring joys to Ligaoeños.

Behind their busy desks and mountains of paper works are public servants with hidden talents. Employees from different departments and offices of the local government have presented their creative performances that brought more life to the spirit of Christmas.

The BJMP group rendered a Christmas carol while the PNP group showcased their funny side as they perform their dance presentation.  

Ligao City Mayor Patricia Gonzalez-Alsua said that the event is not only a showcase of talents but a showcase of team work, coordination, and collaborative efforts of everyone.

Members of the Sangguniang Panlungsod (left) also joined their staff in the performance while a second batch of performers rendered equally laudable presentations with the first batch.

The event is also a kickstarter to more performances of private and public schools in the city. The Christmas Cheers will run from 15 December to 4 January 2015.

New Police Sub-station in Nasisi, Ligao City: Providing Better Peace and Order Services for the Mayon Unit Barangays

With the combined efforts of Ligao City Mayor Patricia Gonzalez-Alsua and Congressman Fernando V. Gonzalez, the Community Police Assistance Center (a Ligao City PNP Sub-Station) at Nasisi, Ligao City was established and inaugurated on Ocotber 7, 2013 to ensure the safety and security of Ligaoeños.

The Nasisi PNP Sub-Station headed by Police Senior Inspector Rizalde Recierdo, is responsible in ensuring the security, peace, and order in the Mayon unit which includes 11 barangays: Baligang, Amtic, Tambo, Basag, Nasisi, Nabonton, Binanowan, Herrera, Barayong, Busay, and Batang. Aside from ensuring the peace and order, the establishment of the PNP station will also invite investors to put up their business at Nasisi and thereby opening job opportunities for the local residents, said Nasisi Barangay Captain Jurlan Buello.

Barangay Nasisi is a strategic location for business establishments as it serves as an intersection of roads going to Oas and Polangui (North), Legaspi City (East), and Guinobatan (South). One of the business establishments that is soon to operate at Nasisi is the Jacem gasoline station, according to Barangay Captain Buello.

Motorists also developed discipline in terms of proper and safe driving since the Nasisi PNP Station put up a Checkpoint. Barangay Captain Buello also observed an improvement in peace and order as there is a decrease in ructions and disturbance in the area.
