Misamis Oriental disaster group braces for Holy WeekCAGAYAN DE ORO CITY, April 4 (PNA) – An official of the Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction Management Division (PDRRMD) of Misamis Oriental on Tuesday urged devotees and tourists to cooperate with local authorities in the maintenance of peace and order as the observance of the Holy Week nears.
Francisco Dy, Jr., the PDRRMD head, made the appeal as the provincial government of Misamis Oriental lined up various activities during the observance of the Holy Week in the province.
He said that the PDRRMD would augment the security measures of the police, Bureau of Fire Protection, Provincial Health Office, Misamis Oriental Care System, Philippine Red Cross, Philippine Coast Guard and disaster personnel in the municipalities.
The PDRRMD would also tighten security in known tourist destinations like the “Sipaka Point†in Talisayan, Port of Balingo-an, and the “Hinuklog†(Retrospection) in Medina, among other tourist destinations in the eastern district of Misamis Oriental, Dy said.
He said that local law enforcers and disaster personnel would also be deployed in Misamis Oriental’s western district, particularly in the “Divine Mercy Shrine†in El Salvador City and in the “Birhen sa Moog†in the town of Laguindingan.
The alert level in Misamis Oriental would be raised from “Blue Alert†starting April 10 to “Red Alert†starting April 13 to 15, Dy said.
He said that the PRRM personnel would also be deployed in all recreation areas, especially in the beaches, immediately after the Holy Week and during Easter Sunday. (PNA)
