Poverty and Crime

My column in Mindanao Daily Mirror

Over and over again, it is seen that burglary, robbery and serious
assaults occur most frequently in the area where shanties are and the
family income is so low that it cannot suffice the needs of the
family. The houses are extremely overcrowded with few facilities.
Unemployment is very common. People in this area have little or no
formal education at all, and so mostly are unskilled.

Families are broken up. The mother has to go out to work and leaves
the children behind. With this kind of life, what will happen to the
future of this growing children, who are mostly out of school? It is
not surprising that they are often the victims of circumstances. They
begin to commit relatively minor offenses such as small scale thefts
and illegal gambling. Later on, because of poverty and deprivation,
they learn to commit violent crimes.

Look around in your surroundings ...

Crime is a complex problem. It can be classified in various ways.
There are crimes against people like rape, kidnapping, murder and
assault; also crimes against property include theft, arson, forgery,
embezzlement and vandalism; and the crimes against public order or
morality include drunkenenness, gambling and prostitution.

Crime has been a rather serious problem the fact that violent crimes
have become much more common these years then in the past. Despite
repeated crackdown by law-enforcement authorities, the situation many
times has not shown any improvement at all. What is even worse is that
studies have found out that the crime rate tends to rise faster when
quick changes occur in the society.

Also, crime is related to social values.

People were more obsessed with
the status, wealth and pleasure. This change in value must have been
an important factor in the mounting wave of crime. It is necessary to
emphasize especially in education the moral values and the traditional
virtues of being a good citizen. And most of all, if the unployment
problem of a country can be solved or minimize in future, we all might
hope that the crime rate will go down.

Cayetano Dares Escudero to Debate on Duterte's Vow to Solve Crime, Drugs and Corruption

PRESS RELEASE
5 April 2016


Cayetano dares Escudero to debate on Duterte's vow to solve crime, drugs and corruption in 6 months 

Vice Presidential bet Senate Majority Leader Alan Peter Cayetano challenged fellow Senator Francis "Chiz" Escudero to a one-on-one debate following a statement made by the latter that Davao City Mayor Rodrigo "Rody" Duterte's six-month target to stamp out crime, drugs and corruption is not realistic. Cayetano said that whoever loses in the debate should withdraw.

“To those who lack political will, nothing is possible. But to those who have a clear vision for real change and the strength of character to do what is right, any goal can be accomplished,” Cayetano said as he defended their tandem’s anti-crime and -corruption agenda. 

In an interview, Escudero told reporters that Duterte could not possibly fulfill his pledge of ending crime and corruption in just six months. “It can’t be done. Not within his term... The problems are too serious and deeply rooted that these cannot be easily defeated,” Escudero said. 

Cayetano, however, stressed that Escudero’s cynical attitude is an illustration of his “lack of conviction” to end the country’s pressing problems. 

“With all due respect to Sen. Escudero, I’d like to reiterate what I said before. Failure is guaranteed for those who do not even want to try,” Cayetano noted. “It’s frustrating to see our fellow public servants lack the passion and optimism to change the country. All the while, they continue to offer the same solutions that failed miserably in the past,” he added. 

Cayetano said amid the criticisms, he and Duterte stand firm on their commitment to fight crime and corruption in their first few months in office. “It will not be easy, but Mayor Duterte and I are ready to do it. Through our bold solutions, in six months’ time, we can make our streets safe again and cleanse our government of corrupt officials,” he stressed. 

This was not the first time Cayetano defended their tandem's proposed policies against Escudero’s criticisms. Back in January, Escudero also expressed disapproval of Duterte’s call for federalism. He said it would not work well in the Philippine setup, a statement which Cayetano dubbed as a “classic Manila-centric” attitude. 

"The very essence of Federalism is to ensure that growth and prosperity are spread to every part of the Philippines, not just in Manila. It's a pity that Senators Poe and Escudero are against this. Kawawa naman ang ibang parte ng bansa kung sila ang mamumuno," Cayetano earlier said. #

Brownouts Blamed For Crime Rise in Davao City


The long rotational brownouts are being blamed for a rise in crime in Davao City – by as much as 20 percent – with police noting the rising trend since the outages started, a Mindanao news site reported late Thursday.

Davao City police head Senior Superintendent Vicente Danao Jr. said the 20-percent rise negated a 35-percent drop in crime from the fourth quarter of 2013 to the first quarter of 2014.

“Stay home. If you really don’t have somewhere to go during the brownouts, don’t leave your homes because that’s when the criminals are taking advantage of the cover of darkness,” he advised residents, according to a report on MindaNews.

He also asked the Davao Light and Power Company (DLPC) to immediately address the power situation.

The DLPC had said Wednesday its power allocation was reduced by 18 megawatts, dropping power supply from 120MW last week to 102MW starting Wednesday.

Because of this, DLPC was forced to extend daily brownouts from six hours to seven-and-a-half hours.

Citing police data, Danao said most of the incidents committed since the brownouts started were crimes against persons and against property.

Police were also affected by the brownouts as "(w)e can’t see in the dark,” he added.

Even closed-circuit television cameras would be of little use as they may not be able to capture images in in the dark.

Anti-terror efforts

MindaNews also said Task Force Davao, a batallion tasked to combat terrorism in the city, is helping maintain peace and order.

Task Force Davao head Casiano Monilla said TFD has deployed seven four-member, two-motorcycle teams to help monitor the area, especially during brownouts.

Business

Meanwhile, a separate report on Davao Today said the brownouts have worsened effects on local businesses.

The report said traders had to buy more ice to preserve meat in abattoirs and pay workers of full salary for undertime work.

“Aside from the power failure, increased cost of labor and low productivity, the power cost is very high because the distributors have to buy from suppliers who are running their diesel-fired power generators,” local business leader Bonifacio Tan told Davao Today on Thursday.

Local traders have been mulling retrenchment of workers and cutting down on production to cope with lost working hours.

For its part, the City Council committee on energy (COE) has promoted alternative energy sources such as portable solar panels. By: Joel Locsin /LBG, GMA News
