MANILA, Philippines- “Generally peaceful” ang paggunita sa All Saints’ Day nitong Biyernes, Nobyembre 1, ayon sa Philippine National Police (PNP).
Sinabi ni PNP spokesperson Police Brig. Gen. Jean Fajardo na walang naitalang untoward incident sa mga sementeryo, columbaria, memorial parks at iba pang katulad na lugar sa pagdalaw ng mga Pilipino sa mga pumanaw na mahal sa buhay.
“So far, the situation is generally peaceful as no untoward incident [is] recorded,” pahayag ni Fajardo.
Nagtalaga ng karagdagang pulis upang matiyak ang seguridad at kaayusan ngayong long weekend.
Hanggang alas-3 ng hapon ng Biyernes, 40,113 police personnel ang ipinakalat ng PNP.
“Our monitoring of the security situation continues this Undas. We expect that our kababayans will continue to flock the cemeteries and columbaria and some will even take advantage of the long weekend to travel to relax and enjoy,” ani Fajardo sa isang panayam.
“We extended the deployment to different tourist spots. We also extended our PADs [Police Assistance Desks] to major transportation hubs to make sure that our traveling kababayans will be assisted,” dagdag ng opisyal.
Samantala, pinaalalahanan ng PNP ang publiko na tiyakin ang seguridad ng kanilang tahanan kung aalis upang hindi mabiktima ng mga kriminal.
“Make sure that your doors are locked and windows are closed tightly so that you won’t be victimized by ‘akyat-bahay’ gangs. Secure also your valuable things such as money, jewelries, bicycles and others that are easy to be stolen,” wika ni Fajardo.
“Ensure that there are no lighted candles and all the appliances are removed from the plug before you leave to avoid fire. If you are using a private vehicle, make sure that your car is in a good condition. If you are using public transportation, go to the terminals early and avoid bringing big baggages, money and gadgets, and keep an eye on small children if you are bringing any,” aniya pa. RNT/SA
