Personnel from the Caloocan City Police Station (CCPS), the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP), City’s Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (CDRRMO), and the Public Safety and Traffic Management Department (PSTMD) were directed to remain alert during the Holy Week.

Malapitan specifically urged frontline workers to prioritize peace and order, emphasizing the importance of assisting the public, especially in areas expected to experience influx of visitors.

“Malapit na naman ang Semana Santa kaya inaatasan ko ang ating mga operatiba at ang iba pa nating mga frontliners na maging alerto sa mga panahong ito upang tiyaking ligtas ang ating mga mamamayan, lalo na ang mga deboto sa mga terminal, simbahan at mga kalsada (As Holy Week approaches, I urge our operatives and other frontline personnel to stay alert during these time to ensure the safety of our citizens, particularly the devotees at terminals, churches, and on the roads),” he said.

The city mayor also called on barangay officials to prioritize the safety of their communities during the Holy Week.

“Nakikiusap din ako sa ating mga barangay officials na panatilihing ligtas ang mga lugar na inyong nasasakupan, lalo na po at marami sa ating mga kababayan ang magbabakasyon at wala sa kani-kanilang bahay (I also appeal to our barangay officials to keep the areas within your jurisdiction safe, especially since many of our fellow citizens will be on vacation and away from their homes),” Malapitan said.

Additionally, he urged the general public to work together with city authorities to prevent any unfavorable incidents.

“We aim for a zero-crime rate Caloocan during the Holy Week. Kaya po sa mga Batang Kankaloo, patuloy lang po tayo makipagtulungan sa mga awtoridad upang maging ligtas at taimtim ang ating mga pagninilay ngayong panahong ito (We aim for a zero-crime rate in Caloocan during the Holy Week. So to all the residents of Caloocan, let's continue to cooperate with the authorities to ensure that our reflections during this time are safe and solemn),” he added.
