Malacañang: Preparations in full swing for Holy Week observance

Malacañang on Saturday assured the public that government preparations were in full swing for the observance of the Holy Week.

Communications Undersecretary Manolo Quezon said agencies were ready to ensure the safety of travelers to and from the provinces during the Christian holiday.

Quezon advised commuters and motorists to be always hydrated especially now that the summer or dry season had officially started.

“It’s important na pag-aralan natin ang mga paraan para ma-avoid ang heat stroke, to make sure na palaging mayroon tayong dalang tubig at siguraduhing na ang mga baby at mga nakakatanda sa atin ay hindi ma-expose masyado at mahirapan lalo na kung mahaba ang biyahe,” Quezon said over state-run dzRB.

He added that inspections of airports, seaports, bus terminals and highways were ongoing as he appealed to the public that “safety is everyone’s concern.”

“Alerto lang po kung mayroon kayong napapansin na nakaabala sa inyo, ibanggit agad sa PNP, sa Coast Guard, sa mga tumutulong sa ating mga kababayan sa paliparan, boats at sa mga bus terminals,” he said. RC
