Straight from the Heart

Combines plateless motorist with the rampant of loose fire arms is really a dangerous city.

News report of Zambopen Journal Lhesy Monroy issued on July 17, 2010 is alarming for our Asia’s Latin City. Imagine Zamboanga City has a total 5,000 Motorcycles ferrying the city proper without carrying Plate Nos. for God sake dirty minds with dirty hearts can be an easy prey for criminal activities. No wonders the crime rate of Zamboanga City is increasing by 10% according to the City PNP Desk reports.

My question to Land Transportation Office (LTO) of the City and Region-IX, why this allow to happens for so long period of times? From this column urging the newly appointed Department Secretary of Transportation and Communication Ping de Jesus must look into this kind of plate shortages for Western Mindanao. According to LTO-9 Zamboanga Peninsula has a total of 7,000 motorists are plate less.

This is not normal proportion when you analyzed the whole data of national crimes statistic more often victims killed and wounded mostly from the Motorcycle riding men dou (Angkas) assassin.

Data presented by our City Police Director Edwin de Ocampo during the National Ulama Conference of the Philippines on July 17, 2010 at Amil’s Tower involving 69 shooting incidents with 42 dead and 27 wounded is an alarming proportion for whole of residents of Zamboanga City. Some resident of the City even afraid to go out from their homes because of these killing incidents.

With the abnormality of peace and order situation of Zamboanga City PNP crime prevention need to improve, must have security measures and full implementation of law and order.  Stop all this kind of atrocities peace should be reign in our heart and mind condemn all those motives of violence that would create division between Christians and Muslims from the permanent residents of Zamboanga City.
