Interior and Local Government Secretary Mar Roxas ordered all local chief executives (LCEs) to ensure a peaceful and safe observance of Holy Week in their respective localities.

In a memorandum circular, Roxas ordered the LCEs to convene their local peace and order councils to plan actions in anticipation of the “heavy movement of people from various places that shall focus on ensuring adequate transportation, [and] medical emergency services.”

He also directed all LCEs to “establish close coordination with concerned local authorities, cause the mobilization of law enforcers, traffic enforcers, barangay tanods, Barangay Peacekeeping Action Teams, public safety officers,” and “ensure cleanliness and orderliness by mobilizing all resources in garbage collection and disposal, and clean-up operations of public places.”

Earlier, Roxas called on all DILG employees to consider applying a “programmatic, deliberate and sustainable” approach not only in their work but even in their personal lives, as they reflect this Holy Week.

During the flag-raising ceremony, Roxas said this is the framework that he and the other DILG officials employ in implementing programs and projects.

He explained that programmatic means “coherent across disciplines - hindi silos. hindi kanya-kanya,” while deliberate means “malawakan, integrated na pagtingin sa isang programa, sa isang gawain; hindi bara-bara, hindi patsamba. It’s the same every time, all the time.”

On the other hand, he explained that a sustained method is “an approach to work, an approach to life, that is stable, hindi pansamanatala lamang, hindi ningas-cugon.”

He also advised DILG employees to “plan your work, plan your approach then work your plan, para hindi ka naliligaw. That’s the reflection that I wanted to leave with you this morning."
