No need for Peace Covenant in Arayat – Mayor
January 26, 2011
ARAYAT – Mayor Luis Espino on Tuesday branded the proposed Peace Covenant being initiated by the Philippine Army’s 703rd Infantry Battalion as “untimely”, saying that local leaders here remain united.
Espino made the reaction to a news story published in this paper last Sunday, quoting Col. Gregorio Pio Catapang, Commander of the 703rd IB as saying that preparatory talks are on the way for a peace covenant between municipal leaders, barangay leaders and some armed groups here.
“Sa palagay ko hindi napapanahon na magkaroon ng peace covenant ditto. Masyado pang malayo ang susunod na election. Hindi muna ito kailangan dahil nagkakasundo naman ang mga nanunungkulan sa bayan namin,” Espino said.
Espino, Vice Mayor Larry Trinidad and barangay chairmen here had a peace and order consultation (meeting) to discuss various concerns in their areas.
He also urged the PA to intensify its campaign against armed groups and criminal elements believed to be in the area in order to achieve peace and order.
“Kesa magkaroon ng Peace Covenant ay iuna muna nila ang paghuli sa mga armadong grupo at mga lawless elements kung nais nilang tumahimik ang bayan namin. Sa parte ng mga nanunungkulan at kapulisan, ang kinakampanya namin e yung all-out war against criminal elements na nais gumulo sa aming bayan,” Espino said.
Espino also reacted to a statement from an “unidentified” businessman claiming that there is a peace and order problem in the town.
“Ang ating bayan ay isang first-class municipality at dahil sa umuunlad ang isang bayan ay di maiiwasan na nagkakaroon ng mga krimen. Pero hindi ibig sabihin nito na tayo ay nagpapabaya o magulo ang lugar natin. Tayo ay sumusuporta sa kampanya ng kapulisan sa paglaban at pagsugpo sa mga masasamang elemento ng lipunan, dahil tayo rin ay naniniwala na kailangan natin ang kapayapaan para umunlad ang ating bayan,” Espino said.
The mayor cited several business establishments in the area that have been operating for years, saying that traders and companies are very much welcome to invest and do business in the municipality.
“Welcome ang mga negosyante at mga kumpanya sa bayan natin. We are a business-friendly town. Ang paniwala namin sa LGU kung marami ang nagnenegosyo sa bayan namin ay marami sa aming mga nasasakupan ang mabibigyan ng trabaho at opportunidad para kumita at mamuhay ng disente,” Espino said.
Meanwhile, Vice Mayor Larry Trinidad said the Municipal Council is very much supportive on the plans and programs of the executive, saying a lot of projects were funded thru local legislation and some thru outside sources.
“Ang mga nanunungkulan dito ay nagtutulungan para sa ikakaunlad ng bayan namin. Marami na ang nagawang mga daan, daycare centers, school buildings, barangay halls, covered courts at iba pang mga proyekto dahil sa magandang relasyon ng executive at legislative,” Trinidad said. (Chris Navarro)
