“How will you put a stop to kidnapping and other criminal activities if the barangay captain is not in the barangay, if the mayor is not also in the municipality?” he pointed out.
He further said that functional governance is the sustainable solution and deterrent to peace and order problems.
“If your governance is functional, then your lupong tagapamayapa, municipal peace and order council (MPOC), and provincial peace and order council (PPOC) become functional too,” Hataman explained.
On the issue of loose firearms in the region, the ARMM Governor said the regional peace and order council (RPOC) has passed a resolution pushing for the implementation of a total gun ban.
He also said that the recently reconstituted RPOC, which serves as the main machinery to ensure peace and order in the region, has crafted a resolution requesting the Office of the President to issue a general amnesty on loose firearms in the ARMM.
Hataman stressed that the general amnesty will help in the inventory and regulation of loose firearms.
“Dapat magkaroon muna ng general amnesty para malaman ang bilang ng mga loose firearms at kung saan-saan ang mga ito,’ he emphasized.
