PUBLIC SAFETY ADVISORY

In Observance of the Holy Week Season

To all Resort Owners with Swimming Pools and Beach Operators:

As we welcome visitors during this Holy Week period – a time when many seek rest and recreation as part of their spiritual reflection – we remind you of your vital responsibility to ensure the safety of all guests. It is mandatory for all establishments with swimming pools or beach facilities to have trained lifeguards on duty at all times when visitors are bathing or using the water areas. These personnel must be properly certified, equipped with necessary rescue gear, and positioned to monitor all swimmers effectively. Your vigilance is crucial in preventing accidents and protecting lives.

To the General Public:

Holy Week is a sacred time for repentance, prayer, and renewal. As you take time to unwind with family and loved ones near water, please prioritize safety above all else:

1. Always follow the rules and regulations posted at swimming pools and beach areas.
2. Keep a constant watch on children and companions – never leave them unattended near water.
3. Ensure all members of your group are accounted for at all times.
4. Refrain from swimming alone, especially in unfamiliar waters.
5. Be mindful of your physical condition and avoid overexertion while in or near water.

Rest assured that on-call health and rescue personnel are available throughout the area to respond to any emergency situations. Please do not hesitate to contact them immediately if assistance is needed.

Under the leadership of our Municipal Mayor, Hon. Atty. Norman D. Sabdao, our local government remains committed to safeguarding the well-being of every resident and visitor. We pray that this Holy Week brings you peace, spiritual growth, and safe, meaningful moments with your loved ones.

For emergency assistance, please call our dedicated hotline at 09274436313.
