SUBJECT : IMPLAN to LOI 42/2012 (All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day)

TO : See Distribution

DATE :

I. REFERENCE:

Letter of Instructions 42/2012 (All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day)

II. PURPOSE:

This IMPLAN sets forth the guidelines and procedures for the Crime Laboratory personnel in the conduct of scientific investigation services and other technical support to the PNP during the observance of the traditional All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day.

III. SITUATION:

Every first and second days of November, the country celebrates “Araw ng mga Patay”, “Todos Los Santos” or “Undas” in collective remembrance of the dearly departed.

These annual events are expected to bring an influx of people from all walks of life to the cemeteries. Others take advantage of the occasions to have a vacation. The movements of people, utilizing all forms of transportation, usually create traffic jams/congestion along major thoroughfare and roads leading to transport terminals (bus stations, airports and seaports). In these situations, the possibility of accidents is also high.

Like in the past years, various threat groups, to include terrorists and criminal elements/gangs, may take advantage of the situation to carry out their nefarious and illegal activities. As the situations differ from year to year, the need to review as well as update the security and traffic plans based being implemented by the PNP is necessary.

It is likewise necessary to re-establish partnership with concerned government agencies, NGOs and radio groups to enhance coordination. It is also essential to conduct information drives through print, broadcast and internet media on the precautionary measures to be undertaken by every citizen, based on the lessons learned from the past, and the prevailing situation.
