by Robert E. Roperos
BUTUAN CITY, Nov. 12 (PIA) -– Vice Mayor Lawrence Lemuel Fortun of this city said Wednesday that uplifting morality of the people will lead to achieving peace and order.
Speaking before the participants of the 2011 National Moral Recovery Program Congress held in one of the local convention centers here, Fortun pointed out that in achieving peace and order in the community, it should start with the basic foundation in the family for which moral upbringing of an individual should be considered.
Fortun also said that prosecuting and enforcing legality that will put criminals to jail is the last solution to all the crimes that have been happening.
“The most important is the moral values which emanate in each family,” Fortun added.
Inspite of this, the official said the city government through the police force is doing the best they can in order to solve, if not, to minimize crime incidence in the city.
It can be recalled that series of robbery, holdups and even murders happened in the past days here which alarmed the people of Butuan putting the Philippine National Police on a heightened alert status.
Meanwhile, some 237 participants from the government and private sectors attended the congress hosted by the city government here. (PIA-Caraga)
