Butuan police chief readies security for Christmas celeb By PAT SAMONTE, Regional Editor-Caraga, and ERNESTO BURNEA, Correspondent
BUTUAN City––The City Police Office here has made sure that everything is in place in terms of providing security and maintaining peace and order in this city during the Christmas season and the New Year. This was made clear by City Police Office Director Senior Supt. Nerio T. Bermudo in an
exclusive interview saying that a security plan had already been laid out for the city’s 86 barangays during the entire Christmas celebration. According to Bermudo, aside from farming out his men in the barangays, he had already instructed his men to keep close watch on bus and jeepney ter-
minals, public markets, banks, business establishments and stores as well as streets to provide the people a sense of security. Bermudo said police presence in strategic areas will give the people reliance on the local police as well as a feeling that they are protected. This will also encourage them to immediately
report to the police suspicious individuals and untoward incidents. Bermudo also warned his men against indiscriminate firing of their firearms during the Christmas season and New Year or risk suspension or termination from the police service. This, he said, is per strict order from Caraga
Police Regional Director Chief Supt. Getulio Napenas. Bermudo hoped this year’s Christmas and New Year celebrations will be peaceful and full of cheer for the Butuanons with the assurance that the city police office will be ready to provide them protection and security.
