Rebaldo Traffic Implementations Deserves Your Cooperation

A five (5) year old innocent child was raped in Barangay Union, Nabas, Aklan at near midnight, May 29. After the raped, the young child was seen crying and profoundly bleeding heavily.
As parents, the tendency is to save the child and they brought her to a hospital in Barangay Caticlan, Malay. An old motorcycle was used to transport them to Caticlan as regular transportation has already stopped its journey.
The child was given first aide and treated in the Baptist hospital. Meanwhile, the mother called up the Nabas PNP to report the incident and to request for police assistance. “Please wait for us until tomorrow” was the answer received. Not contented, the parent called up again the Nabas PNP demanded for police assistance especially to apprehend the perpetrator of the crime. And the Nabas PNP acceded to the request. A police assistance will be given them that evening.
But the promised police assistance never come until the following morning. What a police assistance! It came eight hours late at the crime scene. This is a grand denial of the joke of the late Senator Robert Barbers. Asked how long will it take for a Filipino policeman to arrive at a crime scene after being notified? Senator Barber responded: “The Philippine police is already in the crime scene even before a crime happens.”
Nevertheless, PNP Provincial Director William Macavinta led a team which caught up and apprehended the suspect the following day, May 31. Filamer Oczon was positively identified by Mrs. Pigura as the man who attempted to rape her. Oczon was also positively pointed as the alleged rapist when he was presented to his child victim.
Maybe heinous crimes are now rampant because Malacañang does not implement the death penalty.

Antique politics is interesting and entertaining watching. On April 25, PGMA was the most important guest during the “Tugbong Festival” in Pandan, Antique. During that visit, Governor Salvacion Zaldivar Perez banned Congressman Exequiel B. Javier from attending the said occasion.
Perhaps, Governor Perez wanted to return back the douse of his own medicine. Governor Perez was observed to have offered Cong. Javier reconciliation for the last two years, but Cong. Javier just continued his fire fights against Governor Perez.
According to some Antiqueños, Cong. Javier held his own commemorative program for the death of his brother, Governor Emilio Javier despite the invitation of Gov. Perez that they hold a joint program. The construction of Solong Bridge by Gov. Perez was highly criticized by Cong. Javier as “black hole” as it dissipates provincial fund. Cong. Javier also calls the construction of a Presidential Bridge as a “milking cow”. According to Cong. Javier, the construction of the P12 million rubberized track oval has no approved budget from the Antique SP and the swimming pool collects entrance fee without issuing any receipt as per information received.

Kalibo Mayor Raymar A. Rebaldo highly deserves the cooperation of the municipal mayors of the towns around Kalibo in the implementation of the Kalibo Traffic Code. For the last few days, the implementation of the Traffic Code is giving good result not only in Kalibo but all places in Aklan.
Incidents of vehicular accidents appear to have been minimized. Traffic in Kalibo is diminishing. It will be to the best interest of everybody especially to the commuters if tricycles will serve the routes from barangays to the poblaciones and barangays to the highway. The national highway will be just good if only 4 – wheel vehicles are allowed to travel. This will reduce gas consumption, reduce pollution, traffic accidents, and traffic congestions among others. /MP mailto:madyaas_pen@yahoo.com
