Matud pa sa gobernador nga nga MPOCs magsilbing stable groundwork alang sa Provincial Peace and Order Council kon PPOC.
Sa unang PPOC meeting nga gipatawag ni Chatto niadtong Lunes, ang gobernador ni ingon nga iyang paningkamutan nga ang kada lungsod magbaton og regular bodies nga gi require sa Local Government Code aron ang tanang lungsod sa Bohol makalihok sa samang direksyon sa provincial government.
Mao kini ang tubag sa obserbasyon ni DILG Provincial Director Rustica Mascariñas nga dili tanang lungsod adunay aktibo nga MPOCs.
Si Mascariñas nagkanayon nga ang MPOCs makatabang sa daling paglihok kon adunay kabalaka sa peace and order. Ang sugyot niya nga magtukod og coordination system nga mo monitor sa kriminalidad, gi konsidera usab.
Gi sugyot usab ni Mascariñas nga ang mga miyembro sa PPOC kinahanglang mapahibalo dayon sa bisan unsang krimen ug dili na mohulat pa sa mosunod nga PPOC meeting nga ipatawag sa gobernador. (PIA-Bohol)

Bohol leaders lobbied to Pres. Benigno Simeon C. Aquino III for the realization of the Panglao-Bohol International Airport Development Project (PBIADP).
The Provincial Development Council (PDC), Provincial Peace and Order Council (PPOC), Sangguniang Panlalawigan (SP), and League of Municipalities of the Philippines (LMP)-Bohol have passed a joint resolution earnestly requesting President Aquino to carry on the project.
Governor Edgar Chatto had earlier moved for passage of said resolution.
Chatto, who serves concurrently as PDC Chair, will preside over the first PDC meeting later this week in his residence in Del Carmen Weste, Balilihan on Thursday in time for the town fiesta.
An update on the completion of the Panglao International Airport project is certain to be one of the “priority concerns” that Chatto intends to discuss with the new set of provincial officials, including the three congressmen.
Former Governor and now Rep. Erico Aumentado was in Manila last week to deliver a copy of the PDC resolution to the Office of the President in Malacañang.
He said he had also asked the most probable next Speaker of the House, Quezon City 4th District Rep. Feliciano Belmonte of the ruling Liberal Party, for his help in endorsing the project with President Aquino.
The Panglao Airport, has been in “extremely long gestation, having taken over 20 years to get into the verge of completion – from conceptualization to the expected implementation next year.
In the resolution, the PDC full council pointed out that the necessity for having the international airport in Panglao Island “has long been expressed across many sectors and stakeholders of the Boholano community, and its urgency is evidenced not just by the exponentially increasing tourist arrivals…, but also by the congestion of passengers and planes in the current Tagbilaran Airport, as well as its hazardous landing conditions, being located right in the midst of residential and commercial districts.”
The PDC also noted that the project was already about to be awarded to a winning bidder in the last days of the Arroyo administration and Chatto’s provincial administration intends to get the assurance of President Aquino’s support to have it continued. (PIA-Bohol)
