A TOTAL of 4,303 security personnel will be deployed in the last week of the month as the predominantly Catholic Philippines commemorates the All Saints Day and All Souls Day on Nov. 1-2.
Angel Sumagaysay, assistant head of Public Safety Command Center, said yesterday in the City Peace and Order Council meeting at Grand Men Seng hotel that this is part of their plan to tighten security in the city.
“We will apply the same concept for this year’s Pasko Fiesta,” Sumagaysay said.
Last year, the DCPO alone assigned 2,600 cops and force multipliers in 34 cemeteries in the city. Most of them were assigned in Wireless, Davao Memorial and Mintal cemeteries, the areas with the biggest population in the city.
A police assistance desk will also be set up in each cemetery. Prohibited items include bladed weapons, gambling materials, alcoholic drinks, and sound systems.
The military, meanwhile, will train 240 individuals to be part of the Citizen Armed Force Geographical Unit (Cafgu) II.

The 1003rd’s new 89 Infantry Battalion, Torres said, would also be soon deployed.
