MANILA, (PNA) — Concerned government agencies are continuously monitoring the situation to ensure the safety of people on their way home after the observance of “Undas 2013,” Presidential Communications Operations Office Secretary Herminio Coloma Jr. said on Sunday.
In an interview aired over government-run radio station dzRB Radyo ng Bayan, Coloma said that concerned government agencies remained on heightened alert for the safety and orderly travel of the public following the observance of All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day.
The observance of the Undas 2013 was generally peaceful, Coloma said.
“Samantala, malugod po naming ibinabalita na sa pangkalahatan ay naging maayos at mapayapa ang paggunita sa araw ng Undas. Liban sa isang pampublikong bus na nahulog sa isang bangin sa bayan ng Carranglan, Nueva Ecija noong ika-30 ng Oktubre na ikinasawi ng dalawang pasahero at pagkasugat ng 21 iba pa, walang iba pang hindi kanais-nais na insidente ang naganap sa panahon ng Undas,” Coloma said.
“At sa inaasahang pagbabalik sa kani-kanilang mga tahanan ng ating mga mamamayan, muli pong nakaantabay ang mga kawani ng mga pangunahing ahensya tulad ng Philippine National Police, Department of Transportation and Communications, at Metropolitan Manila Development Authority upang tiyaking ligtas ang kanilang magiging pagbiyahe,” he said.
