Muntinlupa LGU establishes public assistance stations for travelers
The Muntinlupa City government has established public assistance stations in strategic areas to help travelers this Holy Week.
"We are ready for Oplan Semana Santa 2023. But we also remind everyone to do their part for safe travel and observance of the Holy Week. Prepare adequately, drive safely, and reflect on the significance of the season as well," said Mayor Ruffy Biazon.

As Metro Manila’s gateway to the Calabarzon area, Muntinlupa is bracing for a high number of travelers on its main and secondary thoroughfares especially on Holy Wednesday, when most offices are expected to declare at least half the day off to allow employees to return home to their provinces. Biazon said the Muntinlupa police and fire station are on “heightened alert” this Holy Week. The Philippine National Police-Muntinlupa increased police visibility in the city. They will patrol streets along with the Public Order and Safety Office (POSO) from April 2 to 8 to ensure the safety of the public. There will also be four aid stations set up to assist travelers and motorists. These are located at the Ayala Malls South Park; PNP-Muntinlupa headquarters in Laguerta, Tunasan; Caltex Station, Tunasan; and Pacwood, Tunasan. Services offered in these stations include free water and blood pressure monitoring. Each station will provide first aid, a portable toilet, traffic assistance and PNP Help Desk. Supporting this year's Oplan Semana Santa are the Mayor's Office, City Administrator's Office, Muntinlupa Traffic Management Bureau, Community Affairs and Development Office, Department of Disaster Resilience and Management, POSO, City Security Office, PNP, Environmental Sanitation Center, and Engineering Department.
