All units of the Capiz-based 3rd Infantry Division were
placed on heightened alert after President Rodrigo Roa Duterte's declaration of
"state of lawlessness" following the bomb attack which killed 14
people and wounded 71 others in Davao City Friday night.
With this announcement, all military units are tasked to
coordinate with the Philippine National Police and other law enforcement
agencies in securing the public.
3rd Infantry Division commander Brig. Gen. Harold N.
Cabreros said all officers and enlisted personnel of the unit are prepared to
undertake any task that will be downloaded from higher headquarters.
He also told the public to expect the deployment of military
personnel but he dismissed the rumors that this is the start of martial law.
"The President himself said there's no such thing as
martial law and we will abide with that. We will instead tighten and 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," Cabreros stressed.
