Eight months later, in November, BuCor again put up a gate on University Road which also restricted the movement of residents of Katarungan Village 1 and 2, a housing project of the Department of Justice.
Catapang, a career security official who retired in 2015 as chief of the Armed Forces of the Philippines, said possible security threats could be “minimized if there are systems in place,” even if civilians were allowed access again to the NBP roads. Muntinlupa Mayor Ruffy Biazon thanked Catapang for his “compassion to Muntinlupeños,” even addressing the officer in charge as “director general.”He welcomed Catapang’s assurance to demolish the gates impeding the access of residents, which turned to a bitter spat between the city government and the BuCor administration.
