THE WEEK-LONG Lenten celebration in Aklan province was considered peaceful and orderly despite the occurrence of several untoward incidents recorded in some areas.

Record shows that there is only 1 physical injury and 1 arrested wanted person that took place on April 20 and prior to that, no related incident were recorded so far.

Manlapaz said the increase of police presence, intelligence monitoring and continuous dissemination of IEC materials in resorts, religious shrines and other areas of convergence contributed for the peaceful and orderly celebration of the Holy Week.

“Malaki talaga ang naitulong ng pagdagdag natin ng kapulisan sa mga mataong lugar upang maiwasan ang kriminalidad,” the province top cop said.

Inspecting team from Police Regional Office as well as from Aklan PPO were also on the field to check if the PNP uniform personnel are doing their duties in their area of responsibility.

Meanwhile, Aklan PNP is continuously securing the places of convergence and not only for the Holy Week break but during the entire summer vacation.

Manlapaz directed his men to continuously provide public safety services to motorists, commuters and the general public by conducting intensified security patrols and traffic management along national highways and other public thoroughfares during the entire summer vacation. (PSSg. C. Lagatic)
