TAGBILARAN CITY, June 13 (PIA)–Amidst pouring rains, Governor Edgar Chatto rallied Boholanos to continue making independence day relevant by continuing the struggle against poverty and inequality even as he translated the rains as a sign of nurturing the seeds to feed the country.
Speaking at the gathering of Boholanos in time for the 118th Independence Day Commemoration, Sunday June 12, at the Plaza Rizal, Chatto reminded everyone that the freedom which the country earned after the Spanish and American occupations is never completed.
“Freedom is not what we get after June 12, 1898,” Chatto stressed as rains pounded on the makeshift tents installed at the Plaza Rizal in Tagbilaran, from where the commemorative program was held.
“Every year, we remember the past and live with the challenges of poverty and inequality in wealth, opportunities, injustice and criminality” the governor who led the commemorative program after a wreath laying and Flag raising ceremonies said.
Urging for citizens participation in the task of guarding the freedom and realizing the dream of true independence, Chatto called people to make the call once they see service inefficiency.
“In fear, we are not free,” he stressed as he tried pitching for more participation in calling against being shortchanged in government.
Not calling against “inefficiency of services is corruption,” he stressed.
The governor, who has been largely engaging everyone to help in economically moving up and be a strong province, knew that Bohol used to frequent the bottom poorest provinces in the country.
Now with the tourism, trade and industry as well as combined effects of information technology and agriculture, Chatto again urged everyone to help analyze where the economic growth is going.
This, he said, “assures that more inclusive growth can be attained.”
Even then, he also engaged everyone to be reminded of their roles in the transformation of the nation.
According to the governor, “the bottom line is not just collective independence but collective partaking of our responsibilities.”
Amidst the pounding rain which kept independence day event attendees scurry under tents and shades to escape from the drenching rain, Chatto also thanked the President Aquino who is soon bowing out of service.
He cited the Administration’s help in the reconstruction and helping Bohol rise up from the calamities.
Everything we attained would be continued by the Boholanos, Chatto assured.
With a new Administration however, he called for support and prayers for the new leadership.
Gov. Edgar Chatto leads the Boholano officials in commemorating the 118th Independence Day anniversary in Bohol. After the commemorative mass, wreath laying and flag ceremonies, the Governor also led officials in releasing of doves to symbolize freedom. With him are BM Abeleon Damalerio, Mayor John Geesnell Yap, Administrator Alfonso Damaleio and BM Vincencio Arcamo. (rac/PIA-7/Bohol)

TAGBILARAN CITY, June 13 (PIA)–Before a vehicle would be immobilized by clamping, or towed, traffic enforcers must allow for 15 minutes to locate the owners or allow them to move their vehicles elsewhere.
This sums up the last efforts that the city would be willing to give, when the proposed clamping ordinance gets to pass its final reading, published and be effectively implementable.
The proposed ordinance gives teeth to City Ordinance C-189 series of 2005which designated parking and no parking zones in the city, explains Councilor Bebiano Inting during a public hearing last week.
This too as the city Traffic Management Office has started installing signs, Parking regulations, Restrictions and Prohibitions in preparation for a full implementation of the local ordinance the city officials sees as crucial in smoothening up the traffic snags in the city.
Earlier, City Mayor John Geesnell Yap assured that the imposition of the clamping ordinance, should it pass through final reading, would be done only after a full information dissemination has been done.
He also assured that the City would cause the installation of visible signs as information to the general public and motorists who may be affected by the disciplinary scheme.
Immobilized vehicles through the setting up of clams are meted penalties, according to the ordinance.
Six wheeled vehicles parking in prohibited areas when clamped pay P1,000.00.
Four wheeled vehicles, when accosted and clamped, can only be freed from immobilization upon the payment of pay P 500.00 and drivers of motorcycles or tricycles left out in no parking zones need to pay P200.00 to be back in the streets running.
“This should help us properly implement the law better,” adds city traffic consultant retired police Inspector Antonio Samante.
Meanwhile, any person who tampers and attempts to illegally release the clamping device is meted an additional P500 penalty or pay not more than P5,000 for the cost of the damaged device or imprisonment for 30 days, or both at the discretion of the courts.
And to any person who harasses or interferes the tasks of the traffic enforcer in implementing the ordinance could be meted a fine of not more than P5,000, plus a potential stay in jail for 30 days, at the discretion of the courts.
What is even more worth the thought is the proposed ordinance exempts from liability traffic enforcers who, in their performance of the task of towing, damages part of the vehicle.
City Administrator Leonides Borja also thinks a stricter parking policy in Tagbilaran could streamline the traffic flow even as he said the City is also implementing a no parking space no permit policy especially on establishments along the main thoroughfares. (rac/PIA-7/Bohol)
Signs now installed along Gallares Street would be even more effective with the implementation of a clamping ordinance that allows traffic enforcers to immobilize and tow vehicles from No Parking Zones. (NCC/PIA-7/Bohol)
