Butuan City Jail official wants CICL to DSWD Agusan del Sur
by Robert E. Roperos
BUTUAN CITY, Dec. 11 (PIA) -- Personnel of the Butuan City Jail here are hoping that the children in conflict with law (CICL) will be transferred to the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) detention cell in Agusan del Sur.
According to jail superintendent Neil Avisado, the detention cell in the said province is nearly completed. He added, the management of Butuan City Jail is doing everything so that the said facility will be completed and used the soonest.
Avisado said the CICL or those minors who have committed crimes must be detained in a separate detention cell so that they will not be influenced by those criminals detained.
The official, however, admitted that as of the moment minors are detained inside the detention cell here with adult common criminals.
“This is the reason why we are really doing everything we can so that the DSWD detention cell in Agusan del Sur will be finished as soon as possible,” Avisado said.
Supt. Avisado further said the establishment of this facility in Agusan del Sur will also help the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) minimize the number of detainees in the detention cells of the cities and provinces in Caraga Region.
“Thus, detention cells will be decongested as soon as these CICL will be transferred to the said facility,” the official added.

by Robert E. Roperos
BUTUAN CITY, Dec. 11 (PIA) – To ensure public safety during “Simbang Gabi (Nightly Mass),” which begins at dawn of Dec. 16, Philippine National Police (PNP) Caraga Regional Director C/Supt. Reynaldo Rafal required station commanders in the region to submit their patrol plans.
In an interview with a radio station here, PSupt. Martin Gamba, public information officer of PNP-Caraga Region said the patrol plans will be submitted to the Regional Operations and Plan Division for evaluation, and to see to it that all the plans submitted fits the needs of their respective areas of responsibilities.
However, the information officer of the region’s peacekeepers clarified that the police visibility is not only applicable during these times but will always be implemented 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
“Ang police visibility dili lang ipatuman panahon sa Simbang Gabi kung dili sa tibuok oras kada adlaw 24/7 kay ang atong services wala man lang naga-ingon nga i-intensify nato ang police visibility ug police operations sa panahon nga adunay espesyal nga okasyon kung dili kanunay kana sa matag adlaw),” Gamba said.
(The police visibility is not only implemented during the Simbang Gabi but it should be on a 24/7 because our services mandated us to intensify police visibility and police operations not only during special occasions but rather on a daily basis.)
The official also said the ceremonial sealing of firearms of police personnel will be made before the celebration of the Christmas eve to identify those who have fired their issued firearms, without any valid reason.
Gamba said violators will face appropriate disciplinary action as this order came from Camp Crame.
He also made an assurance that police officials here will not tolerate any violations of their personnel. “I can assure the public that PNP officials will not tolerate any violations made by these police officers,” Gamba said. (PIA-Caraga)
