SEA Games Preparation Mayor Bing's Top Concern at Peace
and Order Council Meeting

     Mayor Evelio Leonardia reminded members of the City Peace and Order Council, especially the Philippine National Police and other law enforcement agencies, to start preparations for the forthcoming Southeast Asian Games slated November this year.
     "We cannot afford anything to happen," Leonardia said during the Council's first quarterly meeting on Tuesday, stressing that the City's hosting of some of the major events such as boxing, weightlifting, football and volleyball will surely draw much from everywhere.
     He said that this year's MassKara Festival will be made as a "rehearsal" prior to the games in November to be able to find out how to respond to certain situations.
     The Mayor also congratulated the Bacolod City Police Office for being the "No. 1 Police in Western Visayas for 2004. A resolution was also passed by the Body to officially commend the BCPO.
     On the proposal for the creation of a citizen's movement against terrorism, Leonardia suggested that, for it to materialize, a core group composed of the PNP, AVSECOM and a representative from the City Mayor's Office shall initially meet and come up with a concept paper to be presented to the Council.
