"The BPPO is in full blast in our preparation for Undas 2022.  Aside from that our police personnel we have also force multipliers to be deployed and other agencies  to make sure Undas 2022 will be incident-free in the province of Bohol," said BPPO provincial police director Col. Osmundo Salibo said in a press briefing Monday.

There will be at least 1,757 force multipliers such as tanod, Lingkod Bayan Advocacy Support Groups, Patrolya ng Bayan, Alpha Kappa Rho and Tau Gamma Phi/Sigma.
