NAVAL, Biliran  –  “I will do my best to eradicate all forms of illegal activities in the municipality of Naval”, thus said Police Inspector Marianito Malibago, OIC PNP Chief of Naval town during the regular Kapihan forum held recently here at Radyo Natin.

PInsp. Malibago revealed that one of the strategies he will implement to reduce crime volume in the municipality is police visibility saying that if policemen are visible in strategic corners in the area, their presence is a deterrent for rogues who are yet planning  to commit  crimes and other violations against the law.

He further revealed that during midnight and even during wee hours in the morning, he himself goes around the poblacion and the nearby barangays to check on the peace and order situation in the area. He added by saying “let’s win our streets to keep our families safe”.

The 35-year old police officer of Naval who is from Tacloban City urged the policemen under his turf to observe the 3M’s which stands for magalang, mabilis and malinis.  “Magalang” according to him means that policemen must show respect to the people they serve while “mabilis” means that policemen must be able to respond immediately to all situations especially during emergency situations and “malinis” means that PNP men must not only be neat and clean in their physical appearance but they must as well keep their surroundings clean because a clean environment is factor to work efficiency.

He bared that part of his accomplishments since he assumed as OIC of PNP-Naval was the relocation of vendors who were scattered everywhere near the market area to their new place inside the new market building.

Furthermore, he said that since his assumption to his new post here in Naval, the minors ordinance has been strictly enforced. Minors are no longer seen roaming around the streets of Naval and the nearby barangays beyond 10:00 o’clock in the evening.

When asked about the usual complaints of parents and the residents whose children indulge in drag racing which is a very dangerous pastime mostly among teen-agers in the municipality, he said policemen have already been assigned in areas where this is usually held to put a stop to this dangerous activity.
