AFP to keep tight watch on areas of convergence this 'Undas'

From the Philippine News Agency (Oct 28): AFP to keep tight watch on areas of convergence this 'Undas'
To forestall possible attempts by criminal and terrorist groups to wreck the "Undas" commemorations on Nov. 1 and 2, Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) chief-of-staff Gen. Ricardo Visaya has ordered all military units to keep a tight watch on all places of convergence, including bus terminals, air and sea ports and the cemeteries.

Visaya said that the AFP will support its police counterparts in securing the "Undas" holidays to the best of its abilities.

“Vigilance and profiling of threat groups will be an edge of our security forces. Criminal and terrorist groups may take advantage of the gathering of people in bus terminals, air and sea ports. We will keep an eye on other places of convergence like cemeteries especially during this long weekend,” he added.

Visaya also instructed the military units to actively coordinate with their Philippine National Police (PNP) counterparts through the Joint Peace and Security Coordinating Council (JPSCC) in preparation for and in thwarting all possible threats that may arise during the holidays.
The JPSCC is a mechanism for joint operations with the PNP to address various security concerns.
