Current Issues:

1. Peace and Order
Presently, there are about 5 to 6 reported snatching in the vicinity of our Barangay. We have had requested our Station 7 commander Supt. Natuel to assigned Police officer near the USJR and is being augmented by a barangay Tanod. All we need is the cooperation of the victim to file a case against the suspects. Stabbing is not reported here in our barangay and there is no blotter in our record book. All we need to do is to assign police and uniformed officer in the school vicinity.

2. Health, Environmental and Sanitation
We have two shifts of garbage collection evening and morning shift, 7pm to 3am and 3am to 10am respectively and there are closely monitored by the committee on health and sanitation. However, you as constituents, you should also do your part to report and educate your neighbor to throw your garbage on time. We also started the advocacy for waste segragation, please coordinate to the barangay office for detaile planning.
