PAGADIAN CITY,
Zamboanga del Sur, Jan. 10 (PNA) -– The police and military authorities have
readied security plan to ensure the peaceful celebration of the week-long “Pasalamat
Festival” that will kick-off Monday, January 13.
Supt. Glenn Dulawan,
city police chief, said Friday the security plan will be implemented until
January 19, which is this city’s feast day.
The highlight of the
Pasalamat Festival is this city’s fiesta that falls every third Sunday of
January in honor of Señor Sto. Niño, the patron saint.
Dulawan urged the
cooperation of the public, especially the motorists, since part of the security
measures is the conduct of mobile checkpoints.
The local police force
and the Army’s 53rd Infantry Battalion will conduct the mobile checkpoints.
“We are just doing
our job for the good and security of the public,” Dulawan said.
He said they will
also intensify the implementation of the gun ban.
The city government
has lined up different activities to include street dancing competition and
fluvial parade for the week-long festival.
There will be also
nightly variety shows to spice up the week-long festival that would feature
local talents and others. (PNA)
