“This measure aims to ensure readiness of health facilities and personnel to respond to any potential health emergencies during this period of increased public activity,” Department of Health (DOH) noted all hospitals and health facilities nationwide were placed on “Code White” alert yesterday as Filipinos began  observance of Holy Week.

DOH raised  alert that will remain in effect until Easter Sunday.

DOH said all medical personnel, especially those in emergency rooms and critical care units, are prepared for  potential increase in patient volume due to accidents, injuries, or other health-related incidents that may arise during  Holy Week.

It further assured  public of seamless and efficient response to health emergencies across different regions.

Health Secretary Ted Herbosa said  DOH will closely monitor health events and coordinate with regional and local health offices to ensure  synchronized and efficient response to emergencies.

Herbosa urged  public to keep  observance of  Holy Week safe and healthy.

DOH stressed importance of prioritizing health and safety as many Filipinos are set to travel, engage in religious activities, and attend family gatherings.

“Stay vigilant and take  necessary precautions to ensure  safe and healthy Holy Week,” Herbosa said, advising those traveling to always be on alert.

He also advised  public to stay hydrated and take  necessary precautions against  scorching heat to avoid heat stroke.

“Heat stroke can be avoided if you stay out of  sun drink, water regularly,” Herbosa said  adding food must be properly prepared and stored because it can easily spoil under summer heat.

While health services are easily accessible, Herbosa reminded public to observe minimum public health standards.

“We encourage everyone to observe  Holy Week responsibly, and those needing health care services can go to  DOH hospital near them,” he said.

Meanwhile,  Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) has directed all local government units (LGUs),  Philippine National Police (PNP) and Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) to ensure  peaceful observance of Holy Week.

Interior Undersecretary Omar Romero,  also  officer-in-charge, in his Memorandum Circular 2025-058  addressed to all provincial governors, city and municipal mayors, punong barangays, DILG regional directors, chiefs of PNP and BFP  said  necessary actions should be done to guarantee  safety of all citizens who will be taking part in religious activities.

Under  memo,  DILG directed concerned officials to convene  local peace and order council and local disaster risk reduction and management councils, to ensure orderly public transportation and proper emergency medical services.

Romero ordered deployment of law and traffic enforcers, barangay tanods, barangay peacekeeping action teams, public safety forces, medical personnel and other force multipliers in local and national roads to provide assistance and intensify visibility and effective traffic management to motorists.

He directed  deployment of patrols in hotspots and crime-prone areas.

“PNP and BFP are likewise directed to be on full alert and to coordinate with, and provide necessary assistance to LGUs in employing stringent and appropriate measures to ensure  peaceful observance of  Holy Week,” Romero added.

He said  air, seaports and other transportation terminals, pilgrimages, churches, malls, markets, travel destinations and public places should be secured.

Romero tasked  BFP to continue its awareness campaign to ensure preparedness measures in case of fire emergencies.
