Daanbantayan town to adopt tight security for Haladaya Fest

-
Security in Daanbantayan town will be tightened for the two-day celebration of the 4th Haladaya Festival tomorrow, April 21 and April 22, Saturday with the deployment of augmentation forces from the neighboring municipalities of Medellin, Tabogon, San Remigio and Bogo.

SPO1 Hercules Guzon of the operations branch of the Cebu Provincial Police Office yesterday said that aside from the augmentation forces that would come from said neighboring towns, additional personnel from the Special Reaction Unit will also be deployed for security purposes during the event.

SPO4 Melchor Batucan, the town's officer-in-charge, told The FREEMAN yesterday they will implement stringent security measures as it is expected that throngs of people would come to witness the festivity, and that prominent persons from various sectors would also grace the event.

Various sports activities are lined up tomorrow, a day before the Haladaya festival which would be participated in by the town's 20 barangays.

Haladaya, a street dance competition, was conceptualized in 2002 and is patterned after Cebu City's Sinulog. - Norvie S. Misa
