GINULAT ni Philippine National Police (PNP) acting chief Lieutenant General Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr. noong Biyernes ang mga pulis ng mag surprise inspection sa iba’t-ibang areas ang hepe ng pulisya kaugnay ng All Saints Day and All Souls’ Day.

Unang ininspeksyon ng heneral ang mga bus terminals sa Cubao, Quezon City at kinausap ang mga pulis na nakatalaga sa lugar.

“So far, no security threats have been detected, but the PNP will maintain close coordination with other law enforcement agencies and local government units,” sabi ni Lt. Gen. Nartatez.

Mahigpit ang bilin ng PNP chief na huwag palusutin ang mga may dala ng baril at iba pang deadly firearms dahil labis na mapinsala at nakamamatay ang mga ito.

Sumunod kay Lt. Gen. Nartatez sina Quezon City Police District director, Colonel Randy Glenn G. Silvio, PNP Director for Comptrollership, Major Gen. Westrimundo Obinque, PNP Director for Intelligence, Maj. Gen. Wilson Joseph Lopez at PNP spokesperson, Brigadier Gen. Randulf T. Tuaño sa random field inspection.

Ginaya ni PNP Highway Patrol Group director, Brig. Gen. Hansel Marantan ang hepe ng PNP at nanguna sa HPG deployment sa mga sementeryo.

Naka-heightened alert ang mga pulis simula alas-12:01 a.m. ng Miyerkules hanggang alas-11:59 ng gabi sa November 3 bilang paghahanda sa Undas.

Umabot sa 50,253 na pulis ang naka deploy para sa “Ligtas Undas 2025” Security and Safety Plan, ayon kay Brig. Gen.Tuaño.

Bukod sa mga parak, 16,592 personnel mula sa Armed Forces of the Philippines, Bureau of Fire Protection at Philippine Coast Guard ang nakaposte pa sa iba’t-ibang lugar.

“This is a time when we expect large gatherings and movements of people, so we are making sure our police presence is felt everywhere, from cemeteries to major highways. The goal is simple: a safe, stable, and secured Undas for everyone,” sabi ni Lt. Gen. Nartatez.

Sa hanay ng National Capital Region Police Office na nasa pamumuno ni Maj. Gen. Anthony Aberin, tutok ang mga parak sa Manila North Cemetery, Manila South Cemetery, Bagbag Public Cemetery, Loyola Memorial Park in Marikina at San Juan Public Cemetery.

“To ensure faster coordination and real-time response, police personnel deployed in the field will be equipped with body-worn cameras directly linked to the PNP Command Center, while Unified 911 hotlines and radio networks remain active for immediate assistance,” dagdag ni Lt. Gen. Nartatez.

Sa kabuuan, 5,015 Police Assistance Desks (PADS) ang naka-install sa mga cemeteries, transport terminals at major thoroughfares bilang bahagi ng “Ligtas Undas 2025” security plan.

“We call on the public to observe cemetery rules and avoid bringing prohibited items such as bladed weapons, liquor, or gambling paraphernalia.

Our police officers will be on the ground to assist and guide everyone, not to cause inconvenience. Let’s make Undas 2025 safe and meaningful for all,” ayon kay P/BGen. Tuano.
