Our town continues to go with the trend of modern technology by way of installing CCTV Cameras at the Municipal Hall, Public Market as well as in the public terminal. Bansalan is one of the few municipalities and cities in the Philippines which had maximized the benefits of these gadgets. CCTV is often used for surveillance in areas that may need monitoring such as banks, casinos, airports, military installations, and convenience stores.
The present administration of Mayor Edwin Reyes had realized the importance of public security. It can be recalled that last June 15, 2007 , Weena Bus was bombed in Bansalan and yet the perpetuators has not been exactly identified until to date. Bansalan Police Chief Ispector Solomon de Castilla is also hopeful that with the presence of these cameras, crimes in public places will be minized if not totally stopped.
Bansalan Public Market is now facing another stage of progress. Lately, with the leadership of Mr. Eric Pabingwit the Economic Enterprise Manager, Bansalan was declared by the Department of Trade and Industy as the Best Pamilihan ng Bayan. This is already the 3rd time since Bansalan garnered such award thus calling our public market as the Grand Slam winner for this search. So to speak, the installation of these CCTV cameras will not only upgrade our public market's image, but more importantly bring securities to the business stall owners and customers.
