ILOILO CITY — Security measures are now in full swing across Western Visayas to ensure a safe and orderly holiday season as “Paskuhan 2025” festivities draw near.

Brig. Gen. Josefino Ligan, director of the Police Regional Office in Western Visayas (PRO-6), announced that police presence will be ramped up in key areas, with assistance hubs strategically placed to provide quick support to the public.

“PRO-6 will also strengthen anti-criminality operations and public awareness campaigns to remind communities to stay alert against theft and illegal firecrackers during the holidays,” Ligan said.

Regular police personnel will be supported by specialized regional units, including the Explosives and Ordnance Disposal and K-9 units, the Regional Maritime Unit, the Traffic Management Unit and tourist police.
