In rejecting the Army proposal, Cagayan de Oro Mayor Rolando Uy says he prefers to add more baton-wielding ronda tanod members than militia members with guns.
CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY, Philippines – The city government turned down an Army proposal to organize a militia force that would boost security operations in the city.
But Uy rejected the Army proposal, saying he preferred to add more baton-wielding ronda tanod members than militia members with guns. Uy and Calizo, a retired Army general, said city hall planned to field at least 200 tanod volunteers to the streets and augment Cagayan de Oro’s 10 police precincts instead.
Cagayan de Oro police chief Colonel Aaron Mandia said each of the 10 police precincts would have 20 tanod volunteers to help maintain peace and order throughout the city.
