The police also asked the public to bring with them their own thrash.
Senior Insp. Catherine Dela Rey, Davao City Police Office acting spokesperson, said items prohibited inside the cemeteries are alcoholic beverages; bladed items such as fork, icepicks, knives; radios and other equipment that can disturb other visitors; and cards and other items used for gambling.
She said a maximum deployment of police personnel on November 1 and 2 will be enforced as they expect a deluge of visitors to the cemeteries.[]
Police assistance desks would be set up at every entrance of the cemetery to cater to the concerns of the visitors, Dela Rey said.
She said police forces will also be deployed in residential areas but reminded homeowners to secure valuable items, lock all doors and windows to prevent thefts, and make sure appliances are unplugged and no candles are lighted before leaving their homes.[]
