DIPOLOG CITY – “May the Lenten season strengthen our faith in the Great Savior and may the risen Christ bring us all more blessings to help us cope with our everyday struggles.”
This was Mayor Evelyn T. Uy’s message to the Dipolognons during the celebration of Holy Week.
The city government has mobilized the entire police force to ensure the safety of the public especially the churchgoers by securing the churches, the 3,003-step Linabo Peak where people flocked for the Good Friday’s “Kat-kat Sakripisyo” (Passion of the Cross) and other densely populated places.
The Holy Week celebration began on Palm Sunday and lasted until Easter Sunday.
Police personnel have been dispatched to strategic locations to ensure safe, peaceful observance of the Holy Week.
By and large the Holy Week celebration in the city including its neighboring towns was generally peaceful.
All beaches were filled with, celebrating the risen Savior.
