The Bacolod City Sangguniang Panlungsod passed a resolution Wednesday requesting Bacolod City Police Office Director Senior Supt. Celestino Guara to ensure police visibility in all public and private cemeteries in the city starting October 31, in line with the observance of All Soul’s Day.
The resolution, authored by Councilor El Cid Familiaran, SP Chairman on Police, Security, and Jail Management, states that once more, Filipinos will be remembering and honoring their loved ones, who have gone ahead a week from now and this will make the public and private cemeteries congested. Familiaran said that in previous years, people had solemnly and sacredly observed the occasion but recently, others seem to treat All Souls Day as a venue to gamble and get drunk. He said other people see this as an opportunity to swindle, rob or pick the pockets of those visiting their dead loved ones while some cause troubles in the public cemeteries.*APN Visayan Daily Star
