CANDABA
- Mayor Rene Maglanque yesterday asked the barangay leaders in town to
conduct a massive registration of all migrants workers including
ambulant vendors.
He explained that this initiative is aimed at safeguarding the interest and welfare of the
Candabenios.
"Ayaw
na natin na maulit ang mga nangyari noong nakaraan na mayroon tayong
mga kababayang napapahamak sa kamay ng mga dahuyan," Maglanque said.
The mayor noted that there is an existing municipal ordinance
mandating the registration of all incoming nonresident workers.
It was learned that most of the recorded crimes in town were perpetrated by nonresident workers.
As
this developed, Maglanque pushed for the strict implementation
of the ordinance to make sure that the Candabenios will not fall prey
to some criminals hiding in town as farm workers or house boys.
The
mayor further stated the success of the campaign on this matter will
depend on the degree of cooperation of the barangay officials and local
employers.
He
also urged the local employers to refuse employing non-residents who is
failed to present clearance from the police and barangay they are
originally residing.
