The Bacolod City Police Office (BCPO) will strictly impose the ban on alcoholic drinks, gambling and carrying firearms and deadly weapons inside cemeteries in this city on November 1 and 2, or All Saints and All Souls’ Day, respectively.
BCPO Chief Senior Supt. Celestino Guara yesterday said he has instructed all policemen to strictly enforce the "No liquor, no gambling and no deadly weapon" policy inside the public cemeteries this Monday and Tuesday. The ban is enforced through a resolution, authored by Bacolod Councilor El Cid Familiaran and approved by the Sangguniang Panlungsod, which calls on police visibility in public cemeteries. Liquors, gambling and carrying of d0eadly weapons are rampant in public cemeteries, thus the ban on these should be strictly enforced to help maintain peace and order in cemeteries, the resolution said. To further ensure peace and order in the cemeteries, a traffic rerouting plan will be implemented starting Monday, Chief Inspector Levy Pangue, head of Traffic Management Unit, said. The road from Burgos - Lopue’s East up to corner Homesite that leads to the Burgos Public Cemetery will be considered a "one-way-traffic." Motorists from the east passing the Rolling Hills Memorial Park should turn right at Corner Homesite and down to their respective destinations, he said. Traffic rerouting at Burgos Public Cemetery will only be on Monday while rerouting at the Rolling Hills Memorial Park will be on Monday and Tuesday, he said. He called on motorists to park their vehicles not too close to the gates of the cemeteries to avoid traffic jams. There will be 120 traffic enforcers who will be dispatched in public cemeteries around Bacolod to maintain the orderly flow of traffic, he said. He added they will establish a Public Assistance Center in cemeteries to cater to the queries of residents particularly on traffic. The traffic enforcers will be on duty starting 6 a.m. until the cemeteries close in the evening, for two days, Pangue added.* By Danny B. Dangcalan
