The police and barangay authorities, as always, will be at the forefront in this drive. One supposes civic groups may be joining them, too.

A "No Beggars" city would indeed be very appealing to tourists and motorists, the ones usually "pestered" and turned of by beggars.

But we should never forget that the beggars who may be targeted by this drive are the people in our society who really do need to beg. Let's be realistic, no hirer would ever give any of them a job.
