SUPORTADO ni Konsehal George Christopher Goking, chairman sa komite sa trade ug commerce, ang plano ni Acting City Director P/Col. Gerardo D. Ulanday sa Cagayan de Oro City Police Office (COCPO) alang sa pagmentinar sa kahusay ug kalinaw sa Dakbayan.
Kini ang gibutyag sa konsehal atol sa sesyon niadtong Martes nga gidumala ni Bise Mayor Bebot Rodriguez ug ang isyu kabahin sa 911 emergency hotline ug ang security and standard holsters sa mga personahe sa Philippine National Police.
Buot ni Konsehal Goking nga balikan og tan-aw ang Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) ordinance sa syudad tungod sa iyang personal nga kasinatian nga gisudlan sa wala mailhing tawo ang iyang kaugalingong balay ug biktima siya sa panghold-up diha sa may KSY, Barangay Carmen.
Apan subo lang kay walay CCTV camera o kun naa man ugaling, kinahanglan pa magkuha og court order aron iyang mapresentar ngadto sa Carmen Police Station sa iyang pagpablotter sa maong insidente.
Gisugyot usab ni Goking nga matutokan ang saktong pagresponde sa 911 hotline emergency.
Gipasabot sa konsehal nga sa ubang nasud, kon dili makatubag ang mitawag, deretso kini adtoan basi sa lokasyon sa Global Positioning System (GPS).
Gihangyo usab ni Konsehal Goking si Acting City Director P/Col. Ulanday sa pag-ilis o pagbag-o sa mga sub-standard ug depektosong gamit sa mga police station. (RNQ/SP)

HEALTH care workers, who rendered health services during COVID-19 pandemic, will soon receive their Health Emergency Allowance (HEA), sick and death compensation, and other benefits.
This, after the 21st City Council during its regular session presided over by Vice Mayor Bebot Rodriguez, enacted an ordinance authorizing Mayor Rolando A. Uy to enter into and sign the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the Center for Health Development-Northern Mindanao (CHD-NM), covering the implementation of the health allowance and benefits for public and private health care workers (HCW) including non-health care workers during the COVID-19 pandemic and other future health emergencies.
The implementation of the health allowance to frontline health workers will cover the period beginning July 1, 2021.
Section 5 of the Republic Act No. 11712, known as the Public Health Emergency Benefits and Allowance for Health Care Workers Act, provides that the amount of HEA shall vary based on the risk exposure categorization of the HCWs and non-HCWs in particular setting: ₱3,000 for low risk, ₱6,000 for medium risk, and ₱9,000 for high risk.
The legislative measure, certified urgent by Mayor Uy, was unanimously approved by the city council. (JBD/SP/Photo from Bloomberg.com)

The committees on agriculture, tourism, trade and commerce, and health will conduct a joint meeting on Friday, September 26, at 9:00 AM to discuss the proposal of Councilor Yevonna Yacine Emano for the establishment of more pet-friendly spaces in Cagayan de Oro.
In her special report during the 8th regular session, Emano emphasized that formulating a local policy will further enforce Republic Act 9482, or the Anti-Rabies Act of 2007, which thereby promotes responsible pet ownership.
She also stressed that Cagayan de Oro, being the City of Golden Friendship, should also be inclusive in extending its warmth to pets and their owners.
City government department heads have also been invited to give their insights and recommendations on the proposed measure. (FDC/SP/Photo by Bloomberg.com)
