PA appeals for public vigilance after Davao explosion

From the Philippine News Agency (Sep 5): PA appeals for public vigilance after Davao explosion

The public is encouraged to be more vigilant while their support is enjoined in helping government security forces prevent the occurrence of incidents similar to the Davao bombing last week.

The 3rd Infantry Division (3ID) of the Philippine Army in a press statement Monday made the call as its commander General Harold N. Cabreros also stressed that tightened security within its areas of jurisdiction will be observed following the declaration of the state of lawlessness in the country over the weekend.

“We will maximize security within the area through increased security patrols in the known entry and exit points of the islands, vital installations, public places and occasional conduct of checkpoints with the joint effort with PNP counterparts to ensure safety of the people," he said.

He stressed that their troops are prepared to undertake any task that will be downloaded from higher headquarters.

He further encouraged the public to cooperate and be patient in the exercise of security measures, particularly during checkpoints.

He also emphasized that security is not the sole responsibility of the military and police force but a concern of everyone.

Cabreros added that they will still act within the bounds of the law.

The division that covers Western and Central Visayas has been on heightened alert following the Davao incident last week.
