Issues and Concerns

It is the duty of the barangay through its officials to maintain the public order and
safety of the areas under their jurisdiction. Concerning the public order and safety of
Barangay 483, there are already incidents of crimes such as robbery and car napping
(Akyat-Bahay and Riding in Tandem). Illegal use of drugs has been rampant in the
barangay. Disasters such as fire, typhoons, flooding, earthquake among others or may it
be natural or man-made can cause significant damage of infrastructures and loss of
lives if there are no action taken as precautionary measures in facing potential
disasters.
Public Order and Safety (LongTerm)
It is essential to strengthen the internal structure of the barangay and balance the
external environment by recognizing the wisdom of the inhabitants. Encouraging them
to play an active role in the preservation of public order and safety in the barangay and
enjoining them to come up with different strategies and measures to solve the problems
faced by the barangay. Educating the community and heightening the awareness of the
impending calamities and disaster that may occur would make the barangay prepared
of any disaster that may occur and minimize the impacts brought by it. This would lead
to the establishment of an orderly and safe barangay.
