13K cops secure Metro cemeteries, installations
At least 13,000 police personnel were deployed Sunday to keep watch over cemeteries and other vital installations during the All Saints’ Day.
Metro Manila police head Director Roberto Rosales said Sunday morning the situation in cemeteries had been peaceful so far, with civilian volunteers helping them.
“Tahimik at maayos ang All Saints’ Day. Dumarating ang ating volunteer groups at force multipliers natin. Inaasahan natin hanggang matapos itong All Saints and All Souls’ Days magiging maayos ang lahat (The situation has been peaceful so far. Our volunteer groups and force multipliers arrived and we expect things to be peaceful)," he said in an interview on dzBB radio.
He said 13,000 police personnel are keeping watch over cemeteries and vital installations such as public transport terminals.
Also, he said that health workers are on duty at the cemeteries to assist people who may get sick while paying respects to their dead.
“We will maintain this setup until the last visitor leaves the cemeteries," he said.
Meanwhile, some Filipinos who paid respects to their dearly departed in advance started returning to Metro Manila Sunday.
GMA News’ Unang Hirit reported that police guarding the entrance of the North Cemetery early Sunday morning confiscated belts with big buckles to avoid the use of these materials to hurt somebody. Also the cops seized some bottled-water containers that contained liquor.
On the other hand, a report by dzBB’s Roland Bola said many passengers from the provinces arrived in roll-on-roll-off (RORO) terminals before dawn Sunday.- GMANews.TV
