The Quezon City government will field over 3,000 policemen, traffic enforcers, barangay watchmen and security guards to ensure public order and safety in public and private cemeteries, columbaria, and bus terminals during the All Saints’ and All Souls’ weekend.
Mayor Herbert Bautista tasked all concerned departments and offices, in coordination with the Quezon City Police District, Department of Public Order and Safety, Barangay Operations Center and Civil Registry Office, to be ready for the observance of Undas.
QCPD director Senior Supt. Guillermo Eleazar said they organized three units, namely Task Force Group Kaluluwa Alpha for anti-crime, Task Group Kaluluwa-Bravo for security deployment at cemeteries and columbaria, and Task Group Kaluluwa-Charlie for security deployment at bus terminals, train stations and vital installations.
He urged the public to be vigilant and to take extra precautions against lawless elements, including akyat bahay gangs that usually take advantage of the absence of some residents in many homes during the observance of All Saints’ Day.
