    A case study of community-oriented policing system in two crime-prone barangays in Iloilo City under the jurisdiction of Police Precincts 1 and 3
    Bernaldez, Cristina A. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2005-03)
    This study primarily deals with police -community relationship on the two crime- prone barangays in Iloilo City. It looked into the dynamics of police-community cooperation and collaboration as they geared towards in pursuing a safe place. It also examined their perception towards each other and public trust on police to establish partnership. In the process of achieving a safe community, they were challenged by the issues and problems towards crime prevention. In order to answer the objectives, the researcher used survey and key informant interviews to serve as primary data. Library research at UPV and Camp Delgado was also done. The findings of the study revealed that barangay residents were willing to cooperate on crime prevention efforts by means of attending civic undertakings and reporting crimes. The police and other support groups also took participation by patrolling and giving feedbacks, as well as participation on lectures and trainings for public education and information. However, it showed that the police needed to initiate more lectures and trainings as well as dialogues. Communities have positive perception on police performance, they also trusted the police regardless of the issues raised by some of them. On the contrary, the police saw the residents as hostile. However, as they employed community interactions and strategies they have seen transformations on the behavior and lifestyle of the residents. Most of the issues and problems raised by the residents were more on police duty, visibility, and communication. The key informants raised the issues and problems on crime activities such as drug addiction and thefts, use of sports and leisure equipment and peace and security. The efforts on the employment of COPS on the two barangays seemed to be successful as manifested by the decline of crime rate.

    This study aims to discuss the effectivity of the Sangguniang Kabataan in empowering the youth through public policy-making in the Municipality of Tibiao, Antique (1996-2002). The objectives of the research include the identification of the programs and activities initiated by the six (6) SK Chairpersons and the Federation President during their six-year term, and to discuss their performance as local legislators. Through this, the researcher may ascertain whether the SK in the Municipality of Tibiao is effective in empowering the youth through public policy-making. The respondents in the research include the members of the Sangguniang Bayan of the municipality, composed of the vice mayor and eight (8) legislative council members, and the Association of Barangay Council (ABC) president and all the members of the Sangguniang Barangay composing of the Barangay Captain and the seven (7) council members. The instrument used in this study is an open-ended questionnaires divided into two major parts: (a) activities and programs of the SK in the intellectual, political, and economic, social and cultural, moral and spiritual, and physical aspects, (b) the performance of the SK concerned as local legislators. The discussion of the legislative performance of the 6 SK Chairpersons and the Federation President is limited to the perception of the members of the Barangay and Municipal Legislative Councils. The major findings of the research are primarily based on the written responses of the respondents mentioned. The researcher found out that in the six-year term (1996-2002) of the SK concerned, their effectiveness focused mainly in the socio-cultural and physical aspects. Participation of the youth in the making of public policy is poor and inactive. As legislators, they initiated a limited number of resolutions constituting to their ineffectiveness. There were three reasons that had been identified by the researcher, which hampered the SK performance, namely: academic obligations in school, lack of coordination among members (weak organization), and limited support from the Barangay and Municipal Legislative Councils. In general, the six (6) SK Chairpersons and the Federation President in the Municipality of Tibiao, Antique is ineffective in bringing empowerment to their constituents through public policy.
