Rodriguez steps up police drive

RODRIGUEZ, Rizal — Police authorities here intensified patrol operations in public places particularly in areas where tourists visit during summer, as part of their anti-criminality campaign.

This developed after thousands of excursionists, mostly coming from various parts of Metro Manila and nearby towns of the province, will flock to the Wawa Dam located in Barangay San Rafael in this town to frolic at its cascading waters this summer.

“We are expecting more people to come to this place after Holy Week so we have intensified our patrolling in line with the directive of the Rizal Police Provincial Office to beef up the Police Integrated Patrol System,” said Rodriguez police chief Supt. Rommel Estolano. (Nel Andrade)
