NAGA CITY, Camarines Sur (PIA) --- As face-to-face classes resume and with all offices now operating on a full-scale working, Naga City Public Safety Office (PSO) Chief Renne Gumba predicts traffic congestion, particularly during significant events and celebrations held in the city.
Gumba told the Philippine Information Agency (PIA)-Camarines Sur that the PSO had already planned several innovations to alleviate traffic congestion, particularly in the city's main business district and around the university belt.
“We have all the support of the LGU through Mayor Nelson Legacion especially in the operation of the command center. This will be equipped with CCTVs. We now have an ongoing installation of CCTVs in strategic parts of the city. We are already finished with the command modules and the switch data boxes so hopefully in the next few months we can expect a better traffic flow,” Gumba continued.
Gumba also said that an initial P5 million pesos has been allocated for the operation of the command center.
In terms of personal deployment, Gumba said "the briefing and debriefing of our PSO personnel are done every 6am, 2pm, and 10 pm so there are 3 times in each day that the personnel take turns in shifts in 3 areas which are traffic direction, security, and enforcement work.”
