Meanwhile, city tourism officer Angel Lao said they have already checked all hotels for tourist data arrival to anticipate the number of visitors the city will have during the holy week.
“In coordination with the city police, we have already deployed security teams in our main tourist attractions to safeguard visitors. We also put up posters and distributed flyers to public transportations in the city containing the hotline numbers of the city in case of emergencies,” she said.
She added they are anticipating an influx of visitors at the St. Williams Cathedral, Sinking Belltower, La Paz Sand Dunes, and Gabu and Calayab beaches.
For residents who will be vacationing outside the city, the CDRRMO reminded them to ensure they do not leave any appliances unplugged to avoid fire incidents and to properly lock their doors and windows to avoid burglary.
Manuel also reminded motorists to check their vehicles before traveling, to ensure that their engines, brakes, wirings, lights, and wheels are properly working to prevent road accidents. (JCR/MJTAB/EJFG, PIA Ilocos Norte)
