The Philippine Army has stationed a platoon of soldiers from
the 79th Infantry Battalion in Dumagute
City
City police chief Supt. Jovito Atanacio, meanwhile, assured
that the security of resorts, vital installations, public buildings,
communication facilities and malls have been intensified pursuant to the target
hardening strategy, a media release from City Hall said Tuesday.
Coordination among enforcement and security agencies has
also been strengthened with frequent patrols and visibility by the Philippine
Coast Guard on shallow waters; Philippine Navy on deep sea; maritime police for
ports and PNP for the inland communities.
“We are also closely monitoring the entry of all vehicles
from Luzon and Mindanao to prevent contraband
and explosives from slipping past security,” Atanacio stressed.
1st Lt. Eidherf S. Cruz, who briefed the members of the City
Peace and Order Council presided by Mayor Felipe Remollo late last week, said
there is a need to develop a security plan versus terror attacks and conduct
simulation exercises to gauge the readiness of the authorities to prevent and
foil bomb threats.
Both the PNP and Army urge civilians to help the authorities
by reporting suspicious activities and personalities that may engage in
terrorism for validation and appropriate action.
Nevertheless, no serious and validated threat from the
international fundamentalist group ISIS has been reported.
