Barangay Officials are inclined to gravely abuse their
authority in the guise of their regular performance of functions. In the 4th
district alone, there were barangay officials involved in shooting incidents
through the use of firearms either licensed or unlicensed. Under the Local
Government Code of 1991, they are not authorized per se to do so unless in
self-defense or there is necessity to use firearm or be used to paralyze the
aggressor or the means used by the barangay official in repelling an attack are
reasonably necessary under the circumstances. That is why there is this GREAT
training being conducted by Department Of Interior and Local Government to
those newly elected barangay officials on the appropriate exercise of their
official functions. Although these trainings are conducted, there still who
wittingly or unwittingly abuse their authority and this should be motu propio be
administratively investigated; in case of barangay officials by the Sangguniang
Bayan; municipal officials by the Sangguniang Panlalawigan and imposes disciplinary sanctions or dismissed
accordingly by the appropriate authority.
Criminal cases should likewise be filed against these barangay
officials. The body of the crime or the object or firearm used should not be
released until a court order is issued otherwise the police officer in custody
thereof shall be held administratively or criminally liable. The Philippine
National Police shall pre- evaluate these acts of police officers.

Special tree cutting and earth-balling
permit no. 2013-10 was granted to the DPWH 3rd Engineering Office for
the cutting of the 1,829 trees and earth-balling of 107 saplings to be affected
by the widening of the Manila North road which traverses the Rosales-Sison in Pangasinan
was previously requested by former Congressman
Mark Cojuangco of the 5th district of Pangasinan. However,
environmental groups questions the indiscriminate cutting of trees,, Fr. Robert
Reyes-Running Priest-advocate of environmental protection, said “with the
cutting of 1,829 trees gross contradiction or inconsistent with the National GREENING
PROGRAM mandate of planting a billion
trees because you cannot equate a cutting of
100 years trees with planting of 100 seedlings. Former Congressman Mark
Cojuangco queried whether planting 1000 trees could equate cutting of 100 years
tree, Fr. Reyes told, “still could not equate.”Thus, the problem of the new and
old paradigm, that is profit at all cost Versus the new paradigm of
environmental preservation and renewal and with the effects of dreadful Typhoon
Yolanda, you cannot be driven by profit anymore; you can only look by something
that cannot be easily seen; the air we breathe the water we drink; the quality
of Earth WHERE We plant our vegetables; All of these are not put into the
equation because in road -widening the contractor will earn money, the DPWH
also earn money, and who knows probably PDAF is involve here.

Congressman Mark Cojuangco stresses
the fair balancing of interest in the light of road –widening along the
national high ways through lawful cutting of trees. “ we should not allow the
issue in thundering to emotion. We should see the positive result of development.
Hindi sapat ang pagbalanse sa interest ng Tao sa ekonomiya, kabuhayan, sa
kanilang oras, efficiency nila at sa natitipid na gasoline at efficiency ng
lipunan sa naturang issue. Nag-aapeal sa emotions ng tao na galit sa pagputol
ng mga kahoy kaysa sa positive results ng development ang umiiral. Pumunta si
dating Cong. Cojuangco sa Sangguninang Panlalawigan “Question Hour upang
mag-obserba at bigyan ng moral support ang mga naimbitahang opisyales ng DPWH
at DENR. Ayon sa kanya,” Ginamit natin ang “moral suasion” ibigay ang pahayag o
opinyon kung anu ang tama, upang magampanan ang mga trabaho ng ating mga
opisyales ng DPWH o DENR na hindi apektado ng pulitika o ma - bully ng special interests
group in the implementation of road-widening approval at the time. Mabawasan
ang trapik, pagtipid ng oras, pagtipid ng fuel, at mahigit 60,000 motor vehicles ang dumadaan sa national
national high way from Sison-Villasis, kung makakatipid tayo ng
0ne(1) liter of fuel times 60,000 ilang carbon dioxide and maiiwasan per vehicle dahil
sa widening na yan , kakayanin ba ng mga punong yan na sipsipin ang equivalent
na carbon dioxide na ma-produce ng 60,000 liter na dapat matipid dahil sa
road-widening. During 2010 GAA Budget may P45 Million ang nakabudget para
bumili ng pwesto sa pagtatanim ng mga trees bilang kapalit sana sa mga mapuputol
pero hindi nila nagawa. Dumating na naman yang project na matagal na naming
hinahanap para sa road-widening sayang
naman kung hindi yan matutuloy, na de-lay na nga ng tatlong taon. Itong road
-widening para naman sa mga kabutihan ng mga tao sa distrito. Tignan natin ang
economic reasons, reasons for development, tignan ang mga plano sa pagtatanim
ng mga kahoy duon sa outside stretch ng highway at kapag naintindihan na lahat
ang mga yan at saka kayo gagawa ng hatol, hwag masyado maaga ang paghatol.”
