CITY OF SAN FERNANDO – Following the recent surge in violence inside school grounds, Pampanga 3rd District Rep. Alyssa Michaela “Mica” M. Gonzales has filed House Resolution No. 1145 calling to “establish an immediate, unified security shield around public schools.”
Gonzales said “halting campus violence demands an unyielding, unified defense,” noting that protecting students requires a strict multi-agency collaboration.
Under such coordinated shield, the Department of the Interior and Local Government is tasked to immediately mobilize and deploy barangay tanods during school hours, while the Philippine National Police steps in to arm them with critical security and first-response training.
Simultaneously, the Department of Education and local barangay councils will jointly enforce rigorous entry screening protocols at school gates, creating an impenetrable perimeter that systematically blocks weapons from ever entering campuses.
“Long-term reforms are vital, but our children need a physical shield today,” Gonzales said. “By linking the DILG, DepEd, the PNP, and local communities, we can build a seamless protective perimeter around our youth.” Press release
