00:00Better over than under, more than lacking or short.

00:04Hence, the Philippine National Police has beefed up its nationwide security force

00:08for the Days of the Dead celebration

00:11with over 10,000 more men and women law enforcers to field assignments.

00:16This, despite the latest zero-threat pronouncement by the PNP

00:21in all bus terminals, train stations, sea and airports,

00:25memorial parks and public places

00:28as PTV's Ryan Lizigas provides more context in this report.

00:35The Philippine National Police or PNP has further increased its personal deployment

00:39in anticipation of the influx of visitors to various cemeteries nationwide.

00:44As of today, nearly 32,000 officers have been deployed to crowded areas.

00:49These officers will be stationed at various cemeteries, public areas,

00:53bus terminals, seaports, airports and other busy locations.

00:58Despite the increase in manpower, PNP spokesperson, Police Brigadier General Jean Fajardo clarified

01:03not having detected any threats related to the Undas celebration thus far as of yet.

01:08The situation remains peaceful in cemeteries across the country

01:11even as some people have already visited their departed loved ones.

01:15We expect today that the number of travelers will double.

01:21And as of earlier, we were informed based on our monitoring

01:25that our countrymen have also increased

01:29who have chosen to visit the cemeteries earlier.

01:34The PNP's deployment at terminals, cemeteries and other crowded areas will last until November 4.

01:40The PNP reminds travelers with automobiles to check their vehicles,

01:44such as batteries, lights, oil, water, gas, engines, tires and themselves

01:50or to blow baguettes, check up before long trips to avoid accidents.

01:54For those heading to cemeteries, do not bring or carry with you sharp and pointed objects

01:59as well as alcohol and flammable materials.

02:02We have also encountered things that are not authorized,

02:07like knives and other bladed and flammable materials.

02:13So we remind you not to go to cemeteries without permission

02:18because other guidelines and management of cemeteries have already been implemented.

02:23They also advise avoiding bringing small children to prevent them from getting lost in crowded cemeteries.

02:28All regional PNP offices remained on heightened alert.

02:32Our augmentation team remains in those affected areas

02:36to make sure that the police that are rendering relief and retrieval operations

02:43will not be able to leave those areas.

02:45Our augmentation team will be able to help in other police-related matters

02:52like patrolling and providing other public safety services to the said regions.
