BACOLOD City – Government agencies gave the public tips on how to safely observe the Holy Week, which started with Palm Sunday yesterday.
The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) advised the public against riding colorum (without franchise) vehicles.
Unregistered and uninsured vehicles pose problems, the LTFRB said.
The LTFRB and the Land Transportation Office will conduct inspections to ensure all public utility vehicles and their drivers are in good condition.
Families planning to go on vacation in resorts and beaches must not leave their children unattended and must make sure a lifeguard is present, said Provincial Disaster Management Program Division head Zaephard Caelian.
Those wanting to take a mountain hike should hire guides familiar with the trail to avoid getting lost or reaching dangerous areas, Caelian said.
The Police Regional Office 18 is on full alert.
Officers will be deployed to various areas, primarily at pilgrimage sites, churches and beach resorts, where police assistance desks will also be set up, said Senior Inspector Armilyn Vargas, spokesperson./PN
