PRO7 STRENGTHENS OPLAN BULABOG, OPLAN BAKAL SITA IN SUPPORT OF SILG & CPNP’S SAFE CITIES INITIATIVE
The Police Regional Office 7 (PRO7) has strengthened the implementation of OPLAN Bulabog and OPLAN Bakal Sita across Central Visayas following the directive of Secretary of the Interior and Local Government Juanito Victor Remulla to strictly enforce public order under the national government’s Safe Cities initiative.
Under OPLAN Bulabog, police units are intensifying operations against street-level offenses and disorderly conduct such as drinking in public places, illegal street gambling including cara y cruz, loud videoke sessions, catcalling, and other acts that disturb peace and order in communities. Meanwhile, OPLAN Bakal Sita continues to be conducted through strategic checkpoints aimed at intercepting loose fi****ms, illegal weapons, and other contraband that may be used in the commission of crimes.
PRO7 Regional Director Redrico A. Maranan said the strengthened implementation of these operational plans underscores the Philippine National Police’s commitment to supporting national directives that promote discipline, safety, and order in communities.
“The Police Regional Office 7 fully supports the directive of Secretary Remulla to strengthen the enforcement of laws and ordinances that preserve peace and public order. Through the intensified implementation of OPLAN Bulabog and OPLAN Bakal Sita, our police personnel, in close coordination with local government units and barangay officials, will continue to ensure that our communities remain safe, orderly, and secure for the public,” PBGen Maranan said.
He added that police visibility will be sustained in communities, particularly in public places and near schools, as part of the broader effort to deter criminality and enhance the sense of security among residents.
PRO7 assured the public that it will continue to work closely with local government units and barangay authorities in fully implementing the Safe Cities initiative and maintaining peace and order throughout Central Visayas.
