LA TRINIDAD, Benguet, Dec. 20(PIA) -- The Police Regional Office – Cordillera is on heightened alert status for the holiday season.

Brigadier General Israel Ephraim Dickson said more than 6,000 police men and women of the PRO-Cor are ready to respond to any eventuality that may occur during the Christmas holidays.

The alert condition ensures the readiness of the units to respond to contingencies and police emergencies that are perennially associated with the traditional observance of the Yuletide Season including the traditional exodus of people from the urban centers to the provinces, religious practices, festive atmosphere, and high-economic activity.

Dickson explained that the full alert status will also be for the anniversary of the Communist Party of the Philippines on December 26.

"Usually gumagawa ng celebration ng mga yan in the form of atrocities that could be inflicted on the government forces or vital installations. Itong full alert na ito, tamang tama din para mapaghandaan natin yun at mapag patrolan ang mga expected na pwedeng atakehin ng ating mga kalaban,” he said.

Meanwhile, Regional Mobile Force Battalion Commander, Lieutenant Colonel Mario Mayames Jr., said he canceled all leave applications and privileges of the members of his unit who are assigned in combat operations this holiday season.

On Monday, PNP Deputy Chief for Operations, Police Lt. Gen. Pancratius Cascolan announced that the readiness and preparedness of the PNP in the field, most specifically those who will be conducting operations at the same time staying for the Christmas season in media briefing in Camp Crame.

Cascolan presented the PNP Paskuhan 2019 which is an operational plan that employs the Enhanced-Managing Police Operations Strategy that encompasses other operational campaigns on law enforcement and public safety, primarily internal security, considering that the local communist movement celebrates the founding anniversary of the CPP every December 26th which is historically amplified with increased hostilities by the communist New People’s Army.

He said the Paskuhan 2019 will also address law enforcement issues on illegal firecrackers and the dangerous practice of celebratory gunfire in the holiday revelry. (JDP/RMC- PIA CAR)
