PNP on full alert status on All Saints' Day

From the Philippine News Agency (Oct 25): PNP on full alert status on All Saints' Day

Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Director General Ronald "Bato" Dela Rosa has ordered a full alert status nationwide in observance of All Saints' Day.

Likewise, the PNP chief also directed that there will be no "break" such that all leaves are cancelled on that day.

"Sa ating mga kapulisan (To our policemen), we expect na wala tayong break, wala tayong (we have no) leave dahil tayong lahat ay magdu-duty sa lahat ng sementeryo at sa subdivision na iiwan ng mga tao na pupunta sa sementeryo (because all of us will be on duty in cemeteries and subdivisions)," Dela Rosa said.

"Full alert status tayong lahat at doon naman sa mga mamamayan natin (all of us are on full alert status and to our countrymen...), we are advising you to please secure your premises, 'yung households ninyo bago kayo pumunta sa sementeryo dahil yung mga akyat-bahay diyan, magpipiyesta sa bahay ninyo kung hindi ninyo na-lock properly yung mga pamamahay ninyo (secure your households before going to the cemetery because unscrupulous individuals would likely take advantage while you're away)," he added.

At the same time, the PNP chief urged the public to observe Undas (All Saints' Day) in a very serene way.

"Please observe Undas in a very serene way. Basta hindi magulo, hindi magi-inuman, hindi mag attract ng pansin ng ibang tao dahil magagalit yung ibang tao dahil (Please don't drink liquor and refrain from being noisy because the others want it solemn)," Dela Rosa said.
