Treñas urges ICPOC members to voice concerns
Mayor Jerry P. Treñas urged member-agencies of the Iloilo City Peace and Order Council (ICPOC) to express their concerns every meeting so that it will be addressed promptly.
The mayor made this statement during the regular monthly meeting of ICPOC held at the chief executive's office yesterday.
"I ask you not to hesitate to raise your concerns during our meeting so that I will know the problems that you or your organizations are having relevant to the peace and order situation of our city, and so that I or PNP city director Wesley Barayuga can address it accordingly," Treñas said.
Treñas believes that the membership of the council is ably represented by the various public and private sectors and can credibly assess the peace situation of the city.
He also ordered the city police to coordinate with the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency and maximize their efforts to curb the illegal drug trade and reduce if not eliminate the proliferation of illicit substances.
Meanwhile, Treñas thanked the public and the private sector for supporting the current 30-day traffic experiment, which is the city's latest move to minimize traffic congestion.
The ICPOC is composed of Treñas as chair, vice-mayor Jed Mabilog as vice-chair and representatives from government offices and business, academic and religious sectors as members. (EAM/PIO)
