The Philippine National Police in Negros Oriental is gearing up with its security preparations for the back-to-back religious observance of All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day on November 1 and 2, respectively.
The twin feasts is held every year to commemorate the saints and honor the dead, with throngs of people returning to the provinces to visit the graves of their departed loved ones and offer flowers and candles, among other traditional practices.
Senior Supt. Dionardo Carlos, officer in charge of the Negros Oriental Police Provincial Office, said yesterday that he has directed all the police chiefs to submit their security plans prior to deployment from October 31 to November 2.
