 FOREWORD

It was indeed an important task of local governments to ensure the safety and
security of its residents through improving community facilities and policies that are align
with an inclusive and God-centered leadership. Such task is not just limited to ensuring
the availability of peace-keeping forces around the municipality, but rather taking into
consideration a holistic approach to peace and order and public safety.
It is within this context that this Peace and Order and Public Safety Plan 2020 –
2022 has been prepared and formulated into order to lay-out the measures that our
municipal government will implement in order to assure our residents that our community
will remain to be safe and secured.
Our warmest gratitude is extended to the POPS Planning Technical Working
Group for providing much effort and individual commitment to the realization of this plan,
and to the people who also provided much help and support.
May the Peace and Order and Public Safety Plan 2020-2022 of the Municipality of
Rizal, Laguna serve its purpose and provide our future local leaders guidance in the
implementation of peace and order and public safety advocacies and actions.

A. GEOGRAPHY

1. Map of Rizal, Laguna

The municipality of Rizal is a thriving town that lies in the progressive

Province of Laguna. Formerly, the small town of Rizal was only a barrio of
Nagcarlan which was called Barrio Pauli that came from the word “Pauli-uli” which
means moving back and forth after the meandering creek nearby. In 1902, after
the liberation, Barrio Pauli obtained her municipal status with Pedro Urrea Sr. as
its Municipal President. He then became a municipality of Rizal, named after the
4

country’s national hero, Dr. Jose P. Rizal. However, two years after independence,
Page

the administration of Rizal was returned to Nagcarlan because of the inability of

 the municipal officials to uphold the basic needs of the government necessary to
its operations. Consequently, the former municipality then became Barrio Rizal.

Because of the vehement desire of the people to maintain its municipal

status, the residents led by Fortunato U. Arban and Agustin U. Vista then
councilors of Nagcarlan, Laguna petitioned the Office of the Governor – General
of the Philippine Islands praying that the former municipality of Rizal be separated
from the Municipality of Nagcarlan, Province of Laguna between 1912 and 1918.

On December 19, 1918, Acting Governor-General Charles E. Yeather

issued an Executive Order No. 58 increasing the twenty seven municipalities of
the Province of Laguna to twenty-eight by separating the former municipality of
Rizal from the municipality of Nagcarlan and recognizing the same into an
independent municipality comprising eight barrios such as Antipolo, Entablado,
Maiton, Laguan, Talaga, Tuy and Pook that took effect in January 1, 1919.

Table shows the TB Performance for years 2014, 2015 and 2016. Although

rate was noted to have decreased due to increasing patients detected with co-
morbidities that succumbed to it rather than TB.

the Municipality of Rizal takes pride of its ZERO rabies case/incidence for 2016.
Nevertheless, future efforts that aim at typifying rabies prevention and cure are
now being conceived such as providing training to the personnel as well as
establishing an animal bite center.

7. Water and Toilet Sanitation

Food and water borne diseases are included in the 10 leading causes of
illness and deaths. Most of the people in Rizal Laguna chose to use the level 3
type of water source. This type of water source is checked once a month or as
need arises. In rural areas especially far flung and mountainous areas used the
level 1 as their source of water supply. Level 1 are being checked once every three
months, while level 2 designed to deliver small amount of water per day and it is
being checked once in every month.

Diarrhea is identified as one of the leading causes of morbidity in the

municipality. This may be caused by unsanitary toilet and water contamination.

are still household with no sanitary toilets installed.

 III. PEACE AND ORDER SITUATIONER

The Municipality of Rizal has been a relatively peaceful community. However, in recent
years, there had been a noted gradual increase in the crime incidents. Though these
spikes are mostly Non-Index incidents, the rise could be warning sign that all peace loving
Rizalians should doubly consider. Attributed largely due to growing population of younger
generation, rapid urbanization as well the prevailing social inequalities, these conditions
favor unfortunately the breakdown of family and social values resulting to disrespect of
existing laws and regulations.

Fortunately so far, the many incidents in our statistics does not indicate any organized
pattern but still remain unrelated, independent occurrences. Nevertheless, the unfolding
situation must be addressed pro-actively to insure a legacy of this generation.

Herewith is the 2016-2018 statistics data of various incidents classified accordingly:
