REP. TY. Mme. Speaker, I move that we acknowledge the presence of the guest of our Deputy Speaker Raneo “Ranie” E. Abu and Congressman Mario Vittorio “Marvey” A.

THE DEPUTY SPEAKER (Rep. Sema). The guest of Deputy Speaker Abu and Congressman Mariño, you are very much welcome and we are proud of your achievements. Welcome to the House of Representatives. (Applause)

REP. DEFENSOR. Mme. Speaker, I move that we transmit to the Senate the Bills that we just approved on Third Reading.



REP. DEFENSOR. Mme. Speaker, I move that we take up Bills on Second Reading.


CONSIDERATION OF H.B. NO. 6112ON SECOND READING

PERIOD OF SPONSORSHIP AND DEBATE

REP. DEFENSOR. Mme. Speaker, I move that we consider House Bill No. 6112, contained in Committee Report No. 340, as reported out by the Committee on Transportation.

May I ask that the Secretary General be directed to read only the title of the measure.

THE DEPUTY SPEAKER (Rep. Sema). Is there any objection? (Silence) The Chair hears none; the motion is approved.*

The Secretary General is directed to read only the title of the measure.

With the permission of the Body, and since copies of the measure have been previously distributed, the Secretary General read only the title thereof without prejudice to inserting its text in the Congressional Record.

THE SECRETARY GENERAL. House Bill No. 6112, entitled: AN ACT MANDATING THE INSTALLATION OF SAFETY MONITORING DEVICES IN PUBLIC UTILITY VEHICLES AND PROVIDING PENALTIES FOR VIOLATION THEREOF.

REP. DEFENSOR. Mme. Speaker, I move that we open the period of sponsorship and debate.


REP. DEFENSOR. Mme. Speaker, to sponsor the measure, we have one of the authors of the Bill, the Gentleman from BUHAY, and this is with the permission of the Chairman of the Committee. I move that we recognize the Hon. Mariano Michael M. Velarde Jr.

THE DEPUTY SPEAKER (Rep. Sema). The Hon. Michael Velarde is recognized.

SPONSORSHIP SPEECH OF REP. VELARDE

REP. VELARDE. Thank you, Mme. Speaker. G. Ispiker at sa mga kagalang-galang kong

kasamahan sa bulwagang ito, magandang hapon po sa inyong lahat.

Nais ko pong ihain sa inyo ang isang panukalang batas, ang House Bill No. 6112, na nakapaloob sa Committee Report No. 340, ang panukalang may pamagat na, “An Act Mandating the Installation of Safety Monitoring Devices in Public Utility Vehicles and Providing Penalties for Violation Thereof.”

Nitong mga nagdaang araw ay nakita natin kung gaano kaepektibo ang paggamit ng closed-circuit television cameras o CCTV camera bilang proteksyon laban sa kriminalidad o masamang gawain at pagbawas sa mga insidente ng krimen sa mga pampublikong lugar at sa mga sasakyan. Ang CCTV ay nagsisilbing isang paraan ng proteksyon ng mga may-ari ng mga establisimyento kung kaya’t mapapansin natin ang mga karatulang nakapaskel na ang establisimyento ay protektado ng CCTV. Gayundin ang mga datos o electronic data na nasa mga kagamitan na ito ay epektibong nakatutulong sa pagkilala sa mga suspect sa isang krimen. Nagagamit ang mga video bilang ebidensya para sa pagsasampa ng kaso at paglilitis ng mga krimeng naganap. Mas mapapadali ang proseso ng imbestigasyon at anumang krimen o insidente para tukuyin ang mga salarin at sino ang mga may sala.

Maagap na nareresolba ang mga usapin o kaso, kriminal man o administratibo, at alitan sa mga nasasangkot sa isang insidente.

Isa pang technological innovation ay ang GPS tracker o ang Global Positioning System tracker. Sa pamamagitan ng GPS tracker, ang isang sasakyan ay epektibong makatutukoy ng kanyang lokasyon sa aktwal na oras o mga lugar na pinuntahan na naimbak sa storage device ng GPS.

Ang paggamit ng mga devices na ito tulad ng CCTV at ng GPS tracker sa ating mga pampublikong mga sasakyan ay mahalaga para protektahan ang ating mga mananakay laban sa kriminalidad at sa anumang paglabag sa ating mga batas. Magsisilbi itong proteksyon sa buhay, sa pag-aari at sa karapatan ng mga mananakay, pati drayber at operator ng pampublikong sasakyan o PUV. Proteksyon ito sa panig ng mga mananakay, drayber at operator laban sa anumang klaseng pang-aabuso ng sinumang panig. Ang panukalang batas na ito ay naglalayon na proteksyunan ang ating mga mananakay, drayber, operator, kapulisan at mga traffic enforcer upang sa gayon ay magkaroon ng kaaayusan at kaligtasan sa ating mga lansangan.



Ang buhay at kapakanan ng bawat tao ay hindi mapapantayan dahil ito ay may likas na halaga sa Diyos at sa bayan sa lahat ng pagkakataon.

Maraming salamat po sa pagkakataong ito, Mme. Speaker, at magandang hapon muli sa inyong lahat.

THE DEPUTY SPEAKER (Rep. Sema) The Dep. Majority Leader is recognized.

REP. DEFENSOR. Mme. Speaker, there being no Member who wishes to interpellate or speak against the measure, I move that we close the period of sponsorship and debate.

THE DEPUTY SPEAKER (Rep. Sema). Is there any objection? (Silence) The Chairs hears none; the motion is approved.

REP. DEFENSOR. Mme. Speaker, I move that we open the period of amendments. However, there being no Committee or individual amendments, I move that we close the same.

THE DEPUTY SPEAKER (Rep. Sema). Is there any objection? (Silence) The Chairs hears none; the motion is approved.

REP. DEFENSOR. Mme. Speaker, I move that we approve on Second Reading House Bill No. 6112.
