The Police Regional Office Negros Island Region (PRO NIR) has activated a comprehensive Ligtas Summer Vacation (SUMVAC) deployment from March 29 to May 31, mobilizing over 1,000 personnel across the region to ensure a safe and secure environment for both residents and visitors during the peak vacation season.
The deployment will be augmented by personnel from the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP), Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), Philippine Coast Guard (PCG), Airport Police, and other uniformed services, alongside active participation from community advocacy groups, a PRO NIR press statement said Wednesday, April 1.
PRO NIR personnel will be strategically stationed in high-priority areas, including places of worship, major thoroughfares, transportation hubs and terminals, commercial centers such as malls and public markets, as well as other public convergence points, including beaches, resorts, and key tourist destinations across Negros Island.
This multi-agency and coordinated approach underscores the commitment of PRO NIR to provide constant visibility, rapid response capability, and proactive law enforcement during periods of heightened public activity, it said.
PBGen. Arnold Thomas Ibay, PRO NIR Director, said “ensuring the safety and security of our communities and visitors is our foremost priority. Through the Ligtas SUMVAC 2026 deployment, PRO NIR is steadfast in its commitment to maintaining peace and order, protecting lives and properties, and enabling everyone to enjoy a secure, orderly, and memorable summer across Negros Island.”
The Ligtas SUMVAC 2026 deployment will not only prioritize crime prevention and the maintenance of public order but also ensure immediate assistance in emergencies, effective crowd management, and heightened public awareness on safety protocols, he said.*
