GENERAL SANTOS CITY, Oct. 31 (PIA) -- Authorities here are now up for the strict implementation of the three-day security plan for Undas starting today until November 2. | |||
According to City Administrator, Atty. Jose Mariano Gonzales, the local government here has already activated the “Oplan Kaluluwa 2011,” a task force that would oversee the security and safety of all commuters who will be travelling back and forth to the different cemeteries of the city to visit their departed loved ones. | |||
Maj. Ed Buenavista of the Joint Task Force (JTF)-Gensan revealed that as of October 30, one platoon of soldiers were deployed at the biggest cemetery of the city, the Uhaw Cemetery, to guard early visitors from all forms of criminal activities, and foil any threat that might jeopardize the celebration of “Undas.” | |||
Buenavista said another team will also be deployed at Forest Lake Cemetery on November 1 to augment police forces in the area considering that “it is the most crowded place in the city especially in the evening based on last year’s experience.” | |||
Moreover, the Philippine National Police (PNP) here has also laid down some of its security measures for the long holiday especially in populated areas. | |||
City Director, PSSupt. Cedrick Train explained that the PNP will continue with the normal deployment of its integrated patrol system all over the city, but will tighten security in cemeteries and public terminals, including airports and seaports. | |||
“We will also meet and coordinate with concerned barangay officials for the implementation of the security plan,” Train said. | |||
Meanwhile, Gonzales disclosed that aside from security preparations, the city government will also provide potable water at the Uhaw Cemetery, and will deploy a medical team and a standby ambulance in the area, including a rescue truck, in case of emergency. | |||
He advised the public to follow traffic advisories for a smooth travel and to avoid delay, as he urged them to refrain from bringing items that are prohibited in the cemeteries. | |||
“They should not bring firearms and bladed weapons, as well as alcoholic beverages and liquors since our authorities will most likely confiscate them,” Gonzales explained. (PGFruylan/PIA-Gensan) | |||
