Troops and police officers in Eastern
Visayas have intensified their security patrols and checkpoint
operations in the region as part of efforts to secure people, vital facilities
and infrastructure against possible attacks of the Abu Sayyaf and other terror
groups.
This is in line with the "state of national emergency
on account of lawless violence in Mindanao" declared by President Rodrigo
Duterte following the Sept. 2 bomb blast in a Davao City
1st Lt. Cherry M. Junia, 8th Infantry Division public
affairs office chief, said a coordinating conference was initiated by unit
commander, Maj. Gen. Jet B. Velarmino together with Eastern Visayas regional
police acting director, Chief Supt. Elmer C. Beltejar and other law enforcement
agencies to come up with measures to ensure the safety and well-being of the
people of the region.
She added that they agreed to enhance security measures,
especially in public places, such as bus terminals, airports, seaports, commercial
centers and places of worship.
Junia said the 8th Infantry Division will also deploy
sufficient troops to augment the police in their foot and mobile visibility
patrols, checkpoints and inspections.
Likewise, troops and K-9 bomb-sniffing dogs will be deployed
to help the Philippine Coast Guard and the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines
