Abstract
With the Localization of Executive Order No.70 being a priority thrust of the Duterte-administration, the Oplan Ligtas na Pamayanan of the Bureau of Fire Protection is expected to become an integral part of the delivery of public service in especially in the identified priority barangays in far-flungf and hard to reach areas. This study was conducted with the aim to find ways in maximizing the BFP’s Oplan Ligtas na Pamayanan as a means in localization of EO 70. Using descriptive design, the researcher existing documents and conducted a series of key informant interviews was likewise conducted using a structured interview guide. Data gathered were analyzed through descriptive and thematic data analysis. Results revealed that fire incidents rarely happen in the far-flung barangays and community participation in the program for initially compliance sake. Despite this, the BFP’s strategy of introducing the Bayanihan Seal as part of the OLP program excites the barangay officials and community residents that it ignited the Filipino spirit of bayanihan in them. The OLP program is considered a giant leap in successfully recruiting the barangay officials and barangay tanods are members of the Community Fire Auxiliary Groups (CFAG). Although the process was tricky and community residents usually need something to motivate them first before they would be interested in joining the OLP and other government programs. They prefer casual early morning chat in the farm/seashore instead of calling them for meetings as opposed to the table top exercises, focus group discussion, and extensive conduct house-to-house fire safety surveys usually done by the BFP. On the part of the BFP, organization of CFAG in the community levels as a challenging task due to limitations in lack of resource; limited funds for learning materials; and apprehension to roam in the far-flung barangays that are identified as red areas. While the program was halted due to COVID-19 pandemic, the OLP program still remains a priority thrust of the Bureau in the localization of EO 70 towards the new normal. To maximize the conduct of these OLP-events, other NGAs, LGUs, CSOs, and private companies can also be invited to join and distribute goods to the participants at the end of the events such as relief goods, medicines, school supplies, kitchen wares, cash and other practical and usable materials needed by the community residents.
