The regional police command in Northern Mindanao has put the
entire command in heightened alert after the bus bombing in the nearby province of Cotabato
Chief Supt. Lyndel Desquitado, director of the regional
police command, said Friday that the police have started to deploy sniffing
dogs since Thursday in the city’s busy bus terminals.
He said that the passenger buses in the city ply to all
points in eastern, southern, and western Mindanao
cities and provinces.
Desquitado said that the police assigned in bus terminals
here have been instructed to coordinate with bus companies and private security
guards in the bus terminals.
He said that the local police have also deployed patrol
teams and established close coordination with the military and private security
guard companies.
“We have coordinated with the Army’s explosive and ordnance
team to respond to bomb threats,” Desquitado said.
He said that while the police regional command’s sub police
stations are always ready to respond to any eventuality, it is necessary to be
on alert all the time.
The regional police command covers the provinces of
Bukidnon, a province adjacent to Cotabato, Misamis Oriental, Misamis
Occidental, Camiguin and Lanao Del Norte.
