Letter To The Barangay
Letter To The Barangay
Greetings!
This correspondence pertains to the Letter from your good office dated 9
October 2019 on the sidewalk-clearing operation undertaken by the City Government
of Imus in compliance with the directive of the Department of Interior and Local
Government (DILG) per Region IV-A Memorandum Circular No. 017-19.
Consequently, unless proof is presented that Kalantiaw and Jacinto Sts. Have
been converted into public roads, these remain outside the coverage of the Circular,
and necessarily, the sidewalk-clearing operations of the local government.
While the intention to faithfully follow the issuance, and necessarily, the
directive of President Rodrigo Roa Duterte to clear public roads, is commendable, the
exercise of due discretion is equally important so that the local government would
not end up infringing on the rights of private, law-abiding individuals.
