CAMP OLIVAS, Pampanga – To secure the annual “Pagpapako sa Krus” in Barangay San Pedro Cutud, San Fernando City, the Police Regional Office 3 (PRO3) held a pre-deployment briefing on Thursday, April 18, for personnel assigned to manage crowd control and safety for the Lenten tradition.
PRO3 Duty Staff Chief Police Colonel Ricardo Pangan led the session, reminding officers to stay alert and mindful of heat-related risks as thousands of devotees and tourists—both local and foreign—are expected to attend the crucifixion reenactments.
PRO3 Regional Director Police Brigadier General Jean Fajardo said comprehensive preparations are in place to ensure a peaceful and orderly observance. “We are fully ready. We urge the public to cooperate and stay vigilant,” Fajardo said.
