Repost from the Editorial of MINDANAO DAILY MIRROR from November 16, 2012.
Times are a-changing. Even churches are asked to install closed circuit television (CCTV) cameras in their premises.
Not only business establishments are required to have their premises fitted with those gadgets that are supposed to monitor illegal activities within the area of a guarded enclosure or area.
How many unsuspecting people have been victimized by unscrupulous individuals preying on the pious inside churches. It's a given that ladies especially those going to churches should keep their wits about them and their bags closer to heir bodies.
Even if the bag doesn't contain any valuables, to lose one's identification cards is a hassle and takes quite a while to reconstruct. A churchgoer has encountered many such ladies who don't care, anyway the bag doesn't contain any valuable possessions.
We wonder if the Archdioceses of Davao has required its churches to install CCTVs in their premises.
...
Times are hard. It's a struggle to survive. Don't leave valuables in full view of anyone with less than pious intentions inside the church.
Forewarned is forewarned.
