PNP activates security plan to keep 'Undas' holidays safe
MANILA – The Philippine National Police (PNP) has activated its security plan to ensure the
safety of the public for the observance of 'Undas' (All Saints' and All Souls Days) long weekend.
In a statement on Thursday, PNP chief Gen. Rodolfo Azurin Jr. ordered the deployment of 85 percent of police personnel for public safety and law enforcement duties in anticipation of increased public activity during the observance.
Azurin also urged the public to pay respects to their departed loved ones ahead of All Saints' Day on Nov. 1 to avoid congestion in cemeteries, memorial parks and columbaria.
Travelers are also reminded to take necessary precautions when leaving their residences and coordinate with village officials for special security arrangements.
Upon the instructions of Azurin, the PNP national headquarters issued the operational guidelines to all PNP units and offices outlining specific instructions for security coverage and other public safety operations in the observance of Undas.
The operational guidelines designated the Directorate for Police Community Relations as the office primarily responsible to monitor and coordinate all public safety operations by PNP units in areas of engagement.
Police units are also instructed to maintain the presence of personnel at all times along travel routes, transport terminals, public cemeteries, and major thoroughfares.
The PNP would also establish at least one Police Assistance Center in every public cemetery or memorial park in cooperation with local government units, civilian volunteer organizations, and civic clubs.
For the first time in two years, the government would allow again visits to cemeteries, columbaria, and memorial parks to visit their departed loved ones.
These areas have been ordered closed during the Undas holidays in the past years to curb the spread of coronavirus. (PNA)
