CENTRAL Luzon police on Thursday, December 27, said Christmas celebration in the region was generally safe and peaceful.
“Central Luzon’s Christmas celebration is generally safe and peaceful with zero-crime incident reported particularly in the eve of Christmas (December 24) and on Christmas Day (December 25). There was no single reported case of indiscriminate firing and stray bullet incidents noted from the police and military as well as from the civilian sector,” said Chief Superintendent Joel Napoleon M. Coronel, Police Regional Office in Central Luzon (PRO-3) regional director, said.
He added that the situation was a result of PRO-3’s tight security measures and intensified police visibility.
“This can be attributed to the tight security measures and intensified police presence being conducted by the entire PRO-3 personnel in line with the strict implementation of “IMPLAN 29/2018” (Ligtas Paskuhan) through the continuous conduct of checkpoint operations, security inspections among bus terminals and other places of public convergence, stringent anti-criminality information drive as well as public support and cooperation,” he said.
Coronel once again called on the public for cooperation to keep Central Luzon safe and peaceful, especially this coming New Year’s Eve on December 31.
“Once again, I enjoin our communities to continuously cooperate and work with us so that we can all celebrate the coming festivity safely and joyously,” Coronel said.
