(Eagle News)—Authorities have not monitored any security threats for the long holiday.
This is according to Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque, who issued a statement on Saturday.
“But we will not put our guard down,” he said.
In fact, he said that in anticipation of the “heavy movement of people,” the government “(has) been gearing up security and safety preparations.”
“Public safety remains our top priority,” he said.
He also encouraged the public to support the government in its security initiatives.
“Public support can be manifested through everyone’s cooperation in the conduct of safety checks, security checkpoints, compliance with traffic regulations and maintaining complete situational awareness of their surroundings at all times,” Roque said.
He added that everyone was “called upon to immediately report suspicious characters and unattended materials such as packages, bags and other objects that are out of place.”
