OPLAN KALULUWA Annual Report

Filipinos are known for their close family ties. This holds true
even when members have already passed away. Annually, they spend
time with the dead loved ones by going back to their own provinces.
They spend the whole of November 1 in cemeteries to visit and pray
for those resting in peace.

For public safety, local officials do not allow people to bring

deadly weapons and dangerous tools inside cemeteries.

Below is the Oplan Kaluluwa Annual Report showing the

confiscated weapons for three years.

Gun 6 2 0
TOTAL 356 322 190

Local officials continue their campaign for a peaceful and quiet

occasion by inviting more volunteer members of OPLAN KALULUWA.
