The City Government of Naga will strictly enforce its Oplan Disiplina starting Monday, June 8, 2026, as classes in public and private elementary and secondary schools resume for School Year 2026โ2027.
This developed after Mayor Leni Robredo directed the Public Safety Office (PSO) to intensify traffic management efforts, particularly along major thoroughfares and school zones, to ensure the safety of students and the smooth flow of vehicles during the opening of classes.
Public Safety Office Executive Director Renne Gumba said his office, in coordination with the Traffic Enforcement Unit of the Naga City Police Office (NCPO), will deploy personnel along major thoroughfares and in areas near schools.
Gumba warned motorists against driving under the influence of alcohol. He said traffic enforcers are now equipped with breath analyzers, which are essential in determining whether a driver should be arrested or charged for violating traffic laws.
According to Gumba, motorists found driving under the influence of alcohol will not only be issued citation tickets but may also face criminal charges that could result in imprisonment.
He added that all forms of transport and mobility, including private vehicles, bicycles, e-trikes, and tricycles, will be closely monitored to ensure the smooth flow of traffic and prevent congestion. The PSO will likewise strictly enforce regulations on pedestrians, who are required to use designated walkways and pedestrian lanes.
Gumba also said that the PSO and police personnel are set to use speed guns to monitor whether motorists are complying with prescribed speed limits. He noted that the devices will help reduce road crash incidents in the city. Appropriate signage will also be installed to inform motorists of speed limits in specific areas.
To strengthen the campaign against illegal parking, around 200 wheel clamps are expected to be delivered to the city government. Deputized barangay officials have already undergone training and orientation on the proper use of wheel clamps and the corresponding enforcement procedures.
Gumba also disclosed that the city government is considering proposals from private towing companies interested in providing towing services in Naga. He said the city already has a towing ordinance in place and that interested operators may formally present their proposals or apply for accreditation with the Sangguniang Panlungsod. The proposed partnership aims to further enhance the enforcement of traffic and parking regulations in the city.
Street vendors occupying roadsides will likewise be monitored to ensure that they are operating only within their designated areas and are not causing obstructions along public roads.
As part of the campaign against non-compliant businesses, Gumba said the city government will not hesitate to padlock establishments operating without mayorโs permits or other required documents.
He further emphasized that, aside from securing the necessary business permits and clearances, all business establishments in the city are required to install closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras as part of the cityโs safety and security measures.
