EMC personnel to help secure 'Kadayawan' Festival

From the Philippine News Agency (Jul 11): EMC personnel to help secure 'Kadayawan' Festival

Eastern Mindanao Command (EMC) chief Lt. Gen. Rey Leonardo Guerrero has ordered all military personnel under his command to help their police counterparts in securing this year's "Kadayawan" Festival in Davao City.

This is to curb possible attempts by some lawless elements to sabotage this year's festivities, he added.

The annual "Kadayawan" Festival is a celebration of life, a thanksgiving for the gifts of nature, the wealth of culture, the bounties of harvest and serenity of living. It is held every third week of August.

Guerrero also instructed his commanders to coordinate closely with their Philippine National Police counterparts on how the EMC could best be able to support law enforcement operations, intensify intelligence gathering on illegal drug personalities and other security threats and to conduct anti and counter-terrorism activities in the area.

Guerrero cited, as basis for such actions, the provisions of the Joint Action Plan recently signed between the EMC and Directorate for Integrated Police Operations-Eastern Mindanao.
