San Carlos City Today…

The two rival fraternity groups, some of whose members were recently disarmed of firearms and sling shots in San Carlos City , signed a peace covenant Friday to settle their differences peacefully, through the efforts of the police and Mayor Jose Eugenio Lacson.

Police investigations showed that members of the rival groups had engaged in gang wars several times, and had caused panic among residents in Brgys. 3, 5 and 6, in San Carlos , as well as injury to Joeven Cuanhin and damages to a vehicle.

Two .38 caliber revolvers and two sling shots were confiscated by the police from two warring fraternity groups – Black Gangsta and Crips – in San Carlos City , last week.

In an effort to end the senseless gang wars, Supt. Harold Tuzon said he met with leaders and parents of the members of two fraternity groups, which led to a dialog held at the auditorium of San Carlos , attended by Lacson, Fr. Carlos de la Paz and barangay officials.

The highlight of the dialog was the signing of a peace covenant between leaders of the rival fraternity groups, whose some members are minors.

Tuzon said the City Council for Youth Affairs headed by Jo Alingasa promised to introduce programs, especially to the out-of-school youth who are members of the two rival gangs, that would make them productive and responsible citizens of San Carlos.*GPB
