The Philippine National Police (PNP) and the 79th Infantry
Battalion of the Philippine Army in Negros Oriental launched Thursday afternoon
joint operations in the provincial capital, Dumaguete City
PNP provincial director Sr. Supt. Nestor Tiempo disclosed
the stepped up security measures are also being carried out as hundreds of
participants to the two-day national convention on the federalism movement are
converging here Friday and Saturday.
Sr. Supt. Tiempo led the joint PNP-Army operations, starting
with the conduct of checkpoints and the inspection of at least three big
shopping centers in Dumaguete City , namely, Cang’s Department Store main branch,
the Lee Super Plaza Robinsons Place
According to Tiempo, the joint visibility patrols with the
Army follows a directive from the Chief PNP, Director General Ronald dela Rosa,
to undertake proactive measures to prevent any untoward incidents following the
Davao bomb blast.
The joint police-military operations will also attempt to
cover inspection of hotels and resorts if time allows it, said Tiempo.
Sr. Supt. Tiempo explained that they are currently focused
on providing maximum security for the delegates to the national convention
organized by the Hugpong Federalism Movement, to be held at the Negros Oriental
Convention Center in Dumaguete City
President Rodrigo Duterte was earlier expected to keynote
the opening on Friday morning but he may not be able to make it to the national
convention.
Nevertheless, security measures are already in place for the
gathering, which will also be attended by some Cabinet members.
Police personnel from the different city and municipal
police stations in Negros Oriental have been deployed to Dumaguete City
