When millions return home after the Lenten holiday, the Philippine National Police (PNP) is still on high alert on Easter Sunday.

According to PNP Public Information Chief Col. Redrico Maranan, police are stationed in bus terminals, airports, seaports, and main routes leading to the National Capital Area as early as Sunday morning.

Moreover, police officers are stationed in sites where people congregate, such as busy thoroughfares, transportation hubs, terminals, shopping malls, and houses of worship.

As directed by Gen. Rodolfo Azurin Jr., our Chief PNP, our commanders were told to keep up the security precautions from roadways to points of convergence till the conclusion of Holy Week, Maranan added.

Maranan claims that police assistance desks and assistance hubs are included in the security measures in order to help the public and quickly handle complaints.

The month of Ramadan, which ends on April 22, is included in the PNP’s “Ligtas Sumvac (Summer Break) 2023.”

The security of religious festivities for Muslims and Christians is the responsibility of more than 74,114 police officers.

Maranan claimed that aside from reports of drowning events, they have not yet kept track of any severe security-related issues.

Maj. Gen. Edgar Allan Okubo, chief of the National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO), meantime, asked the people to abide by the PNP’s safety instructions to ensure a safe voyage.

“Athang sa buwan ng May, ang paghahanda ng NCRPO. We are prepared for the summer visitors’ vacation. Cops will still be present. The NCRPO’s preparations would last till May. ‘Yung mga deployment sa mga PADs (police assistance desks) will continue as the time na makabalik na lahat sa safety ‘yung mga inhabitants sa kanya kanyang mga bahay. We are also ready for summer break travelers to come back. Until everyone returns to the safety of their homes, police visibility and deployment at police help desks will remain, according to Okubo.

commended 35 volunteer divers

The Ati chieftain went missing on April 5 after his fishing boat collided with a resort-operated speed boat off the Malay and Boracay channel. Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) Secretary Benjamin Abalos Jr. thanked 35 volunteer divers for helping in the successful underwater search and rescue operation.

More than 30 dive shop owners from Boracay, together with local and international divers, took part in the search last night on very short notice (April 7). We appreciate your prompt reaction to our request, as well as your help and compassion, Abalos said in a statement on Saturday. “Maraming, maraming salamat po sa mabilis ninyong pagtugon sa aming panawagan, sa inyong tulong at pagmamalasakit,” he said.

Coching’s 64-year-old body was discovered just before midday.

Right after the accident, his buddy, 37-year-old Ricky Valencia, was saved and is now recovering.
