Guv denounces criminals ruining Pampanga’s name
February 4, 2011
CANDABA — Governor Lilia Pineda denounced on Thursday criminals elements dragging the name of the province in a series of carnapping incidents in the country.
“Their days are numbered,” Pineda said, as she is bent to apply the full force of the law.
The governor’s statement came as the Provincial Government was assured full support of the 5,370 barangay officials, all municipal mayors and law enforcement agencies in its fight against all forms of criminality.
Pineda said criminals have no place in the peace loving province of Pampanga.
“We have to clean the province and rest assured that the government is dead serious in bringing to jail the perpetrators of criminal activities,” she said.
The governor urged barangay officials to work closely with the Philippine National Police (PNP), Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA), National Bureau of Investigation (NBI), Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) and the Department of Justice (DOJ).
Pineda said these agencies of the government play important roles in the fight against criminality and violence, such as carnapping, kidnapping, robbery, theft, drug pushing, and murder, among others.
Any reports of unlawful acts may be forwarded to the PNP hotlines 0933-3653-1467, 045-963-3874; PDEA 0927-265-3848; LTO 09228841230; and NBI 045-455-2809, Pineda said.
She even instructed the council members to help the newly-organized Peace and Order Task Force.
In addition to the PNP manned checkpoints, Pineda also requested the AFP to put up its own check points in strategic areas all over the province.
The Citizens Armed Forces Geographical Unit was also tapped for monitoring activities.
