BACOLOD City – Security cameras must be installed around the Social Development Center (SDC) in Barangay Taculing, according to Bartolome Orola.

They may deter crimes or any act of lawlessness, thwart violations, and monitor the activities of delinquent children and visitors, the councilor said.

Orola authored a resolution asking the Department of Social Services and Development, the city government’s primary social welfare arm, to put up a closed-circuit television video surveillance system (CCTV-VSS) around the SDC.

The CCTV-VSS may also “gather and record evidence, maintain records, and sort out whether or not claims made by complainants/authorities are correct, appropriate or true,” he said in the resolution passed on Wednesday.

The Commission on Human Rights recommended the measure, Orola said. The security cameras may be installed on, but not limited to, the main entrance of the SDC and the entrances of the male and female quarters, he added.

Several ordinances pertain to security camera installation, but none of them cover the SDC, where crimes or abuses also reportedly occur, Orola said.

Citing Sangguniang Panlungsod records, he said such ordinances include:

* City Ordinance (CO) No. 08-15-765, series of 2015, which provides for the establishment of CCTV cameras in all barangays

* CO No. 08-14-667, series of 2014, which provides for the same in all public elementary and high schools

* CO No. 600, series of 2012, which requires all banks and other financial institutions, as well as certain business establishments to install CCTV cameras in their premises

* CO No. 595, series of 2012 (Bacolod City Eye in the Sky Comprehensive CCTV Ordinance), which provides that CCTV cameras be installed on thoroughfares, major artery roads, and busy, congested public places./PN
