To secure the observance of Undas, or All Saints’ and All Souls’ Days this weekend the Philippine National Police (PNP) has deployed over 27,000 police officers nationwide according to Interior Secretary Jonvic Remulla.

 

Remulla said police officers would be deployed nationwide to heighten police visibility and provide assistance and security for the public who will be visiting their departed loved ones. He tasked local government units to convene their peace and order councils to ensure the safety and security of those who will flock to cemeteries, memorial parks and churches in their localities.

 

The PNP are also expected to mobilize and deploy traffic enforcers, barangay tanods, Barangay Peacekeeping Action Teams, medical personnel and other force multipliers within the vicinity of the said places.

 

PNP spokesperson Brig. Gen. Jean Fajardo said that regional directors across the country were given the discretion to increase the number of deployments “depending on the prevailing security situation in their respective areas.”

 

Police units across the country went on heightened alert ahead of the observance of Undas. PNP chief Gen. Rommel Francisco Marbil ordered the raising of the alert status, which means that 75 percent of the 232,000-strong police force is readily available for deployment.

 

The Police Regional Office 4A (PRO-4A) reported that they will deploy 6,557 policemen across the Calabarzon (Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal, Quezon) region. Police Regional Office (PRO) 5 (Bicol) has put in place all necessary security measures for the upcoming holiday deploying 4,622 police personnel. While the Bulacan Police Provincial Office (BPPO) has deployed nearly 900 personnel across the province.

 

Likewise, both the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) and the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) would provide necessary assistance to local police.

 

The public are urged to practice vigilance against criminals and scammers who may take advantage of the holidays. “In this important time of commemorating our departed loved ones, let us be careful and vigilant,” Remulla said.
