ANTI-INDECENCY BOARD IN ‘GAPO

The Anti Indecency Board, headed by Vice Mayor Cynthia Cajudo, has recently started doing rounds of inspections and surveillances of different business establishments around the city as part of the city’s campaign versus lewd and pornographic shows and similar activities.

“Ilang business establishments na ang under surveillance ng Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) at ng Olongapo City Polic Office (OCPO). Ngunit mayroong isang bukod tanging business establishment na nahuli ng Anti-Indecency Board na nagpapalabas ng ‘lewd at pornographic’ videos sa loob mismo ng establishment,” said City Administrator Ferdie Magrata.

“Ang Anti-Indecency Board ay gumawa ng isang recommendation kay Mayor James ‘Bong’ Gordon Jr. upang ipasara ang naturang establishment, ang ‘Lolipop Bar’, sa Barangay Barretto ang recommendation ay sinuportahan pa ng isang memorandum mula sa Business Permit and Licensing Division (BPLD) upang i-revoke ang permit ng Lollipop Bar at nitong ika-7 ng Nobyembre 2008 ay inilabas ang Administrative Order No. 123 kung saan ang establishment ay ipinasara na,” said Magrata.

“Kami po ay natutuwa na ang Anti-Indecency Board ay nagbibigay ng kahalagahan sa mga problema hinggil dito at they are not going to limit themselves to pornographic establishments ngunit bibigyang tuon din pati yung mga binebenta sa mga bangketa,” added Magrata.

The Task Force Virgo, headed by Councilor Ellen Dabu, is working with the Anti-Indecency Board in confiscating lewd and pornographic videos that are sold in various stalls around the city.

“Pagka pinabayaan po natin yan ay lalaki po ang problema at maapektuhan ang ating mga pamilya. I call upon all of us, we should uphold the dignity of women dahil dati ipinaglaban natin ang imahe ng mga kababaihan ng Olongapo at ngayon ay dapat iangat natin ang tingin sa ating lungsod and we should show the world that we are fighting for excellence!” said Vice Mayor Cajudo.
