Former Baguio City law professor now Kalinga board member-elect Eduardo Buliyat identified peace and order as a top priority of his legislative agenda once he assumes office as provincial board member in July.
Buliyat revealed that he would push measures upgrading the capability of the Kalinga police force and strengthening the bodong as a complement to the national law.
Buliyat said he will work “to effect the education of police officers especially with respect to the performance of their function.”
Buliyat blamed the ignorance of law enforcers particularly on procedures in effecting a valid arrest as a big reason why many cases filed by the police are usually dismissed by the courts.
The only lawyer among the incoming members of provincial board added that he would even conduct lectures to policemen on Saturdays.
Buliyat served in various capacities as instructor and legal counsel at the Philippine Military Academy for 22 years before retiring in 2004 with the rank of a colonel. He also taught law at the University of the Cordilleras (formerly Baguio Colleges Foundation) college of law from 1982 to 2002.
To enhance crime prevention, Buliyat said he shall see to it that police visibility be heightened especially in crowded areas like the public market.
Buliyat rued the fact that the Bulanao police sub-station is within the market compound yet the volume of crimes in Barangay Bulanao happen in or around the area.
“It seems they’re just staying inside their quarters instead of patrolling,” Buliyat said.
He added that he would also see to the upgrading of police equipments and provision of patrol cars claiming the province has the funds and, if that is not enough, donors can be tapped for support. He cited the buses of PMA, which were donated by the government of South Korea.
Buliyat added further that the province may solicit from businessmen. He justified that businessmen could always use additional protection.
Lastly, Buliyat cited the need to establish additional police outposts in some areas of Bulanao and Poblacion.
On the bodong, Buliyat, a native of Lubo, Tanudan, said the customary law should not interfere with law enforcement.
“The bodong should instead strengthen the national law,” he said.
He added that one aspect of the bodong that is contradictory to the national law is the practice of revenge, one of the modes of justice prescribed in the pagta (the unwritten code of the bodong) the other being the multa (fine).
Traditionally, it is the bodong holder who meted justice against the offending member of his own tribe as a matter of duty and honor as enforcer of the bodong. Such has gradually ceased to be the case.
Buliyat said, “Bodong holders should help in the apprehension of criminals if they have knowledge (of the criminal’s whereabouts and/or his involvement).”
He added that support should be given to strengthening the bodong confederation and that the congressman-elect, Manuel Agyao, should provide funds for that.
Aside from peace and order, Buliyat included health, education and livelihood advocacies in his agenda.
“Nothing grand, just those that are doable,” Buliyat said.**Bani Asbucan
