Aside from cemeteries, Lim said that they will also focus on securing churches, terminals, and other vital installations within the city.
“Nag-inspection na sila sa atoang mga simbahan kay daghan man pod nag tawo, sa ilang area nag-inspect napod sila sa mga cemeteries, ug sa gitawag nato ug vital installations sama sa transport terminals, dili lang gud sa mga cemeteries,” Lim said.
Aside from this, Lim said that they will also distribute flyers and leaflets to the public that will contain the “do’s and dont’s” or regulations inside cemeteries.
He reminds the public not to bring prohibited items inside the cemeteries, such as liquors, and bladed weapons, among others. /rcg
