TAGBILARAN CITY- The Bohol Police Provincial Office (BPPO) will field at least 832 police officers to secure public and private cemeteries during the observance of All Saints’ Day or “Kalag-Kalag,” the police provincial director said.

"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.

He added that  352 personnel from the 47th Infantry Battalion of the  Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) will be utilized to ensure that all security measures are in place.

The full deployment of police officers will occur a day before “Kalag-Kalag” when people are expected to visit their deceased loved ones in cemeteries.

BPPO will also secure other places of convergence such as churches, malls, public transportation terminals and tourist destinations where many people are expected to make use of the long weekend for leisure.
