Labangon's 45-day discipline campaign gets huge support

Aiming to address community concerns on minors' conduct, public drinking, waste management, and excessive noise, Cebu City Councilor Pablo Labra II vowed to support the 45-day discipline campaign for peace and order in Barangay Labangon.

The peace and order drive dubbed as “Caliber 45: 45 Days of 4Ds” or the strict implementation of "Disiplina sa Minors, Disiplina sa Side Street Drinking, Disiplina sa Basura, ug Disiplina sa Karaoke or Loud Noise” was formally launched last Friday evening by Labangon Barangay Captain Derrick Yap.

As the City Council’s head on the Committee on Peace and Order, Labra affirmed his support for the barangay-initiated policy, saying peace and order must begin in the barangay and that a community free from crime will result in an economic boost.

“Ang malambuon, hapsay, ug malinawon na barangay (kay) usa ka barangay nga nindot pagabuhatan og negosyo. Walay negosyante mobuhat og negosyo sa usa ka lugar nga daghan og krimen, dagha’g korapsyon, dagha’g ilegal na droga, ug daghang mga badlongon nga mga lumulupyo,” he said.

Labra also plans to institutionalize and replicate the 4Ds among the 79 other barangays in Cebu City, citing that the campaign also integrates the city government’s community-based anti-criminality program called Oplan Pakigsandurot.

He also promised that rewards await the local residents, based on the results of the enforcement of the anti-crime programs in their respective barangays.
