Despite this, Tuaño said the observance of this year’s Holy Week was generally peaceful since the total number of incidents was lower by 24 percent compared to the figure monitored in 2024.
He added that the PNP has remained under heightened alert status since March 24 and has already deployed up to 69,000 personnel until the end of May.
