From the Manila Bulletin (Jan 29): Tighter security for Panagbenga, PMA homecoming

Baguio City – Tighter security measures will be in place to ensure the safety of local and foreign tourists who will join the month-long Baguio Flower Festival or “Panagbenga” which opens on Monday as well as those attending the annual homecoming of the Philippine Military Academy (PMA).

Senior Superintendent George Daskeo, officer in charge of the Baguio City Police Office (BCPO) said that aside from organic personnel of the BCPO, there will be an augmentation of 300 police trainees from the Philippine National Police (PNP) training school and volunteer peacekeeping forces.

The 21st Panagbenga festival opens on Feb. 1 with the grand street dancing and float parade scheduled on February 27 and 28 respectively.

The city government has issued an Administrative Order suspending classes in elementary and high school during opening day and to include the college level on February 27, to allow the students to participate.
 
“We have just concluded our security preparation which was attended by the Police Regional Office-Cordillera and the PMA Alumni association,” Daskeo said.
