Inatasan ng Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) ang local government units (LGUs) sa National Capital Region (NCR) at ang Philippine National Police (PNP) na umpisahan na ang paghahanda para siguruhin ang kapayapaan at kaayusan sa pagdiriwang ng Labor Day o Araw ng Paggawa sa May 1, 2023.

Partikular na pinaalalahanan ni DILG Secretary Benjamin “Benhur” Abalos, Jr. ang mga lungsod sa Metro Manila kung saan maaaring magsagawa ng mga demonstrasyon at rally ang iba’t ibang labor groups.

“While we support all lawful and peaceful activities in commemoration of Labor Day, we must ensure public safety and peace and order,,” ani Abalos.

Nanawagan ang Kalihim sa Regional Peace and Order Council (RPOC)-NCR at PNP na pag-usapan na ang mga paghahandang panseguridad para sa pagdiriwang sa susunod na linggo.

“Let us make sure that a sizable security contingent will be fielded particularly in known convergence areas while the policy of maximum tolerance will be strictly observed by police security forces,” ani Abalos.

“I urge our Metro Manila LCEs and the PNP leadership to enforce a strategic plan to cover various aspects of police operations such as traffic management, civil disturbance management, anti-criminality and counter-terrorism, emergency response, and other necessary measures for an orderly, peaceful, and successful event,” dagdag ng Kalihim.

Ayon kay Abalos, maaaring makipag-ugnayan sa NCRPO gamit ang hotline 0915-888-8181 o 0999-901-8181.
