Summary

O

roquieta City in Misamis Occidental is rich in natural bounties, with rivers, waterfalls, forest areas and wildlife. Its name, in fact, translates to “where gold is found” (in Spanish, oro means gold while quieta means “to find.”) With rapid urban growth, however, Oroquieta slowly woke up to the growing threat to its natural wealth. Forest areas were dwindling due to logging, wildlife was disappearing, and pollution was on the rise.

In addition to the environmental threat, Oroquieta also came to be known as a place of crime and communist insurgency. In the 1980s, more than half of its 47 barangays were classified by the police and military as influenced, infiltrated or threatened by insurgency and criminality.

BANTAY SA KAHUSAY UG KALINAW (BKK) (Peace and Order Watch)

The rise in crime and insurgency was largely caused by the presence of organized crime syndicates in neighboring cities, inadequate police personnel, and the indifferent attitudes of residents to law enforcement. As a result, the city was periodically rocked by waves of violence and crime, especially in the months of September through December, as well as during elections.

Oroquieta City, Misamis Occidental

Alongside these problems, however, is the city’s success record in implementing effective programs. Foremost of these is the city-wide Barangay Self-Sufficiency Program or BSSP which not only brought about a cleaner and ‘greener’ Oroquieta, but also improved agriculture and food security.

To sustain the gains of BSSP that were being threatened by the unstable peace and order situation, Oroquieta launched the Bantay sa Kahusay ug Kalinaw or BKK (Peace and Order Watch). BKK is a barangay-based, city-wide network of volunteers that carries out a two-pronged approach to crime in the city – a) crime prevention through advocacy and a neighborhood watch and early warning system and b) a quick response team for acting on actual crime cases in the communities.

Like BSSP, BKK has proven to be a success. It has two effective strategies – 1) barangaybased community action and involvement using the spirit of the Bayanihan tradition (volunteerism) and 2) strong capacity building of the barangay-based groups through special training and the provision of such equipment of radios, patrol vehicles and operations center.

“Making Crime Prevention Everybody’s Business”

Through BKK, crime incidents in Oroquieta have gone down to 10 a month from 30-40, remarkable for a rapidly growing city of 80,000 residents. BKK has reduced juvenile delinquency and drug abuse, as well as petty theft and burglary. BKK has also helped hinder the Balik-Masa program of communist rebels to recruit residents.

For its BKK initiative, the city government received an award BKK launching with AFP and PNP officials. Mayor Bandala is flanked by Gov. Clarete, Director Razul of the DILG, and Provincial Board members for having the Most Outstanding Lupong Tagapamayapa (barangay justice system). With the awakening of vigilance and the formation of structures, preventing crime has become everybody’s business in Oroquieta.

ABOUT BKK Project History: Addressing Crime to Sustain Economic Gains In 1992, the city government, then under the leadership of Mayor Ernie Flores Bandala, confronted the environmental problems of the city by launching the Barangay Self-Sufficiency Program or BSSP. From a simple “clean and green” program, the BSSP has successfully expanded into a comprehensive program that has helped improve agriculture and food security in the city.

City officials soon realized, however, that BSSP’s gains will not be sustained if it does not address its peace and order problems. Thus, in 2000, 8 years after BSSP was launched, Oroquieta turned its attention to crime, by launching the Bantay sa Kahusay Ug Kalinaw or BKK. While BSSP focused on developing the local economy, BKK targeted crime response and crime prevention.

Giving birth to the BKK: Who, when, how The City Peace and Order Council (CPOC) gave birth to the BKK. Inundated with countless reports of crime and insurgency movements, while at the same time instructed by the DILG to address its peace and order problem, the CPOC began conceptualizing the program. The city mayor, who chairs the CPOC, asked DILG to help develop a conceptual and operational framework. Through DILG’s assistance, BKK was evolved and adopted by the city government and endorsed to the Sangguniang Panglungsod (SP) for approval. The SP enthusiastically approved the program and allocated a budget for it. On November 30, 2000, BKK was launched in a parade participated in by more than 5,000 volunteers and members of the support organizations.

Project Description: Bayanihan for crime prevention BKK placed the barangays at the forefront of the fight against crime and insurgency. Recalling the tradition and spirit of ‘bayanihan,’ an old social practice where community members voluntarily contribute their labor when needed by a neighbor, BKK was founded as a volunteer network to address crime at the barangay level BKK Objectives BKK had the following objectives: 1. Harness the people of the barangay in the prevention of crime, disaster preparedness and assistance in law enforcement;

3

“Making Crime Prevention Everybody’s Business”

2. Revive and sustain the time-honored tradition of Bayanihan and value of cooperation among barangay folks through volunteerism in the maintenance of peace and order; 3. Establish a mechanism in the barangay that will prevent the occurrence of crime or quick response in solving crimes; BKK volunteers taking their oath before Director Razul and PNP offcials.

Behind them are streamers reflecting their Anti-Crime, Anti-Drug and Anti-Terrorist stand.

4. Establish a coordinated monitoring and informationgathering network in every barangay.

BKK Strategies: Harnessing Barangay Volunteer Action and Building Capacities As the title says, BKK operates successfully on the principle that crime prevention and action should be the concern and responsibility of each resident, instead of being a matter for the police or the military alone. But how did the first champions and promoters of the BKK got this principle accepted, internalized and translated into action?

The first strategy is basing the initiative at the barangay level and harnessing systematic barangay-level action around the problem. This includes 1) the formation of barangay level structures, which helped institutionalize the program 2) structuring and systematizing the needed response, first into action and prevention, and second, by formulating such mechanisms as a neighborhood watch and alert (early warning) systems/groups (Alarma Tagongtong), quick response teams to respond to actual crimes (Pasa Bilis), a reporting and documentation system (Bakukang) and a monitoring and evaluation mechanism. Anchoring the program on the principle of volunteerism or ‘bayanihan” recognized the key role and capacity of barangay officials and residents preventing and responding to crime.

Along with mobilizing people around the issue of crime, the second strategy is the strong effort made to build their capacities and mobilize resources for capacity building. Aside from undergoing training on crime prevention and quick response, BKK volunteers are also equipped with the following: • Establishment of an operations center in each barangay as base for their operations • Radios for easier and faster communication • Patrol vehicles for a quicker response

Operationalizing BKK: How it works The Bantay sa Kahusay Ug Kalinaw (BKK) was founded on the following operational framework: BKK Operational Framework 1. Crime prevention is everybody’s concern, safety is everybody’s duty 2. The best crime fighting unit is the organized community itself 3. Crime can be effectively prevented and safety can be ensured through concerted efforts of the community, LGU, government agencies, police and media.

4. The local PNP and its resources cannot keep pace with the growing population and rising crime rate 5. A program to facilitate quick response to call for assistance and emergencies is imperative 6. A forum to educate the citizenry on crime prevention is necessary before any response can be effected From this framework, BKK has 2 main components: pro-active and re-active.

BKK Components 1. The Pro-active Component is focused on crime prevention. This consists of advocacy, education, organization of a neighborhood watch structure, activation and coordination of a citizen’s alarm and feedback system for intelligence and crime detection. The barangaylevel pro-active unit has the following functions: • Prediction. the ability to predict the likelihood of crises and emergencies through continuous gathering/updating of information from intelligence reports and analyzing events.

• Prevention. advocacy, organizing information drives and periodic drills to continuously raise the alert level of the identified crime and disaster zones.

• Preparation. planning for probable crisis situations, organization and training and stockpiling of equipment and supplies needed.

Each purok has its own pro-active unit that operationalizes the early alarm and warning system. These volunteers constantly patrol and watch the streets and the neighborhood in the absence of the police.

2. The Re-active Component is the quick response function for detecting crime and dealing with actual crime incidents. This consists of organizing mobile patrol groups of Barangay Tanods and Volunteer Working Groups that assist the police during crime scene responses.

“Making Crime Prevention Everybody’s Business”

These groups constantly patrol the streets and public areas. The Operations Center serves as coordinating center with rescue teams and a legitimate reaction force.

Simplified Information and Warning Systems. BKK uses 3 simplified warning, information and reporting systems: 1. Pasa-Bilis – involves the instantenous relay of information at early stages of crime commission, using community means like tricycles, vendors, habal-habal. This mobilizes community residents.

2. Alarma Tagungtung is an early warning and alert code that mobilizes everyone in cases of crime or crises.

3. BAKUKANG – is short for 4Ws and 1 H. translated from the Visayan, it stands for BAbarangay, K-kanusa (what), U-unsa (where), K –kinsa (who), A-asa (where), N –ngano (why), G – guinsa (how).

BKK Organizational Structure. The BKK is governed by the City Peace and Order Council, headed by the mayor with members from the law enforcement agencies and NGOs concerned with peace and order. The daily operation is managed by the BKK Management Team chaired by the DILG Officer and co-chaired by the Chief of Police.

The other members of the BKK Management Team includes City Chapter President of the Liga ng mga Barangay, SP Chairpersons on Peace and Order Committee and SP Appropriation Committee. The Team Leader of the BKK Monitoring Team also sits with the BKKMT. At the barangay level, the Barangay Peace and Order Council (BPOC) oversees the operations of the BKK. The barangay-level BKK is composed of barangay officials, barangay tanods and citizen volunteers. General policies and procedures for BKK operation are laid down in a barangay ordinance that are then implemented.

Recruitment of BKK volunteers is done by the Barangay Peace and Order Committee based on recommendations of purok leaders. The barangay chair issues an appointment paper to BKK volunteers prior to their deployment in their respective purok or areas of assignment and responsibility.

BKK Recruitment. BKK volunteers are recruited and accepted based on the following criteria:

Policies and Procedures that can be included in a Barangay Ordinance on BKK: 1. Criteria, recruitment process and deployment of BKK volunteers 2. Schedules of duty of BKK members/volunteers 3. Fines for BKK members for failing to fulďŹ ll responsibilities 4. ConďŹ dentiality of logbook entries 5. Speed and secrecy in monitoring 6. Contact mechanism for every BKK member 7. Alertness and inter-support in case of crises 8. Establishment of Alarma Tagongtong in every household 9. Installation and implementation of boom system 10. Regular conferences to evaluate operations 11. Reporting systems and procedures

Project Results: Reaping the Fruits of Peace and Development BKK’s success is evident in several ways.

1. A Much Lower Crime Rate Owing to the effectiveness of the BKK as a mechanism of crime detection and prevention, the city of Oroquieta has registered only ten crimes a month, thus creating a favorable business climate and unhampered flow of commerce.

It is also an emerging safe haven for travelers for their stop-overs.

2. Rise in Volunteerism in the Community The spirit of bayanihan and volunteerism is now a pride of Oroquieta City Government and the people of Oroquieta. In general, the greatest gain of the BKK is the heightened vigilance of every barangay folk in keeping their own security and safety; crime prevention is everybody’s business, and not just of the police and the military.

3. More Anti-Crime Mechanisms in the City BKK structures are now present in all the 47 barangays of Oroquieta. And their success as crime detection and prevention groups has inspired other groups within the city itself to replicate this anti-crime mechanism. Business and religious organizations, as well as NGOs, for example, have organized groups within their sectors to replicate/complement the BKK. Among those spurred by BKK are the following: -

Oroquieta Chamber of Commerce Oroquieta Bankers Association Oroquieta Council of Churches Oroquieta Integrated Market Vendors Association School Administrators Association of Oroquieta Integrated NGOs of Oroquieta Federated Students of Oroquieta Oroquieta Inter Fraternities League Radio Communicators Group like REACT, PASABAY, BBRA

4. Expanding BKK scope beyond crime prevention So successful has the BKK been, in fact, that its functions have gone beyond crime detection and prevention, to encompass disaster preparedness and rescue operations particularly in the coastal areas during the rainy season.

REPLICATING BKK BKK is now being replicated by several local governments and communities, following the key implementation steps identified and learning from the lessons learned by Oroquieta in implementing the project.

Key Implementation Steps Based on the experience of Oroquieta, the following were identified as key steps to follow in establishing and implementing a BKK system for crime prevention and action.

1. Conceptualize and Gain Approval This first step includes a series of preparatory activities to actual BKK implementation: a. Holding consultations with key POC officials to build consensus for adopting BKKChief of Police, DILG, SP chair on Peace and Order, ABC President and SP Committee on Appropriation b. Holding a consultation with all Barangay Chairs through an ABC assembly, to orient them about the program and get their support c. Conceptualizing and Preparing the Program Proposal d. Getting Approval and Resources for the program. The POC has to adopt the program and endorse it to the Sangguniang Panglungsod (SP). The SP then enacts a Resolution Adopting the Program and Appropriating a budget for implementation. e. Conducting Barangay Action Planning for establishing and operating the BKK at the barangay level.

2. Form the BKK Organization and Structure.

For a period of three months, the BKK organizational structure is formed from the city level down to the barangay level. The CPOC with technical assistance from the DILG, can take the lead in BKK formation, which consists of the following: a. Forming the BKK Management Team with members from the City Chapter President of the Liga ng mga Barangay, SP Chairs on Peace and Order Committee and SP Appropriation Committee. The Team Leader of the BKK Monitoring Team also sits with the BKKMT.

Lessons and Insights for Replication Oroquieta’s experience in implementing BKK presents several important lessons for that can help LGUs wishing to replicate the project. For Oroquieta, the following factors are key to establishing a successful BKK. 1. Strong support and commitment of the LGU leadership, especially at the beginning of the project.

2. Participation and support of barangay officials 3. Capacitating community members 4. Building all necessary structures and resources (operations center, communications network, personnel and volunteers, recording and reporting systems, funding and other resources) 5. Constant supervision and monitoring and evaluation to identify strong and weak points and address mistakes and shortcomings 6. Addressing crime should not stop at solving crimes committed. better than cure.
