PURPOSE:

This LOI prescribes the operational guidelines on the security coverage, public safety measures, contingency plans, and other support services to be provided by the Cagayan Police Provincial Office during the observance of the traditional All Saints and Souls Day. III. SITUATION:

In the Philippines, All Saints and Souls Day are opportunities to remember the dearly departed in a solemn way. The 1st day of the month of November is called Araw ng mga Patay, Todos Los Santos or Undas which signals the start of the celebration and collective remembrance of the Day of the dead. The next day is the All Souls Day. These annual events are expected to bring an influx of people from all walks of life to the cemeteries, or simply for a vacation in their respective home towns. This movement of people, utilizing all forms of transportation, will create traffic jams/congestion with the possible occurrence of accidents along major thoroughfares and roads leading to transport terminals (bus stations, airports and seaports), cemeteries and popular resorts. With this scenario, various threat groups, to include terrorists and criminals/gangs may take advantage of the situation and to carry out their nefarious illegal activities. Considering that All Saints and Souls Day are being observed yearly, there is a need to review and update the security and traffic plans, undertake the necessary preparation and coordinate, encourage the active involvement of concerned government agencies, NGOs, and radio groups, and conduct public information drives through print and broadcast media on precautionary measures based on the lessons learned from the past, and current situation prevailing.
