Barrio Obrero, once notorious for crime, is experiencing a transformation thanks to strengthened peace and order. The barangay signed a 50-year agreement with the Iloilo City Police Office (ICPO) to house Police Station 8, installed over 50 CCTV cameras, and is working on improving its infrastructure to mitigate fire risks.
ILOILO CITY – The strengthening of peace and order is bringing positive changes to a once notorious barangay in this city.
“When there is peace and order, there is development,” said Barangay Captain James Conlu of Barrio Obrero, a barangay once feared by Ilonggos for decades as a refuge of holdup men and other criminals. Conlu’s administration was able to install more than 50 closed-circuit television cameras in Barrio Obrero in partnership with Wi-Solutions Electronics and Telecommunications.
One of Conlu’s priorities this year is having another exit point for the barangay. The narrow roads of Barrio Obrero have been a recurring challenge for fire trucks.
