Central Visayas police deployed over 5,000 officers across more than 300 cemeteries to ensure security during the holiday period. The operation aimed to prevent criminal activities and ensure safe access for visitors.
The police force focused on high-traffic cemeteries in regions such as Cebu, Bohol, and Lapu-Lapu. Officers were stationed at entry points and key locations to monitor activity and respond to incidents.
This increased presence followed reports of rising incidents in previous years, including theft and vandalism. Authorities emphasized the need for heightened vigilance during the holiday season when large numbers of people visit cemeteries. The operation was part of a broader effort to maintain public safety and order in the region.
