Government agencies pointed to colorum vehicles on both land and sea as the biggest challenge they faced during the 2024 Holy Week.
During a Friday inter-agency press conference on the 2024 Holy Week, Philippine National Police Chief Benjamin Acorda Jr. said the presence of colorum vehicles on the road was one of the challenges they faced aside from the influx of passengers on major thoroughfares.
“Kahit 30,000 yung nakadeploy ay kokonti tayo para bantayan ang coastline natin… Hihingin ko rin ang support ng PNP kasi di lahat ng mga coastlines may mga coast guard. Mas marami kayo sa PNP kaya maganda kung masama sa checklist na matignan din ang mga colorum vessels,” he added.The Land Transportation Office meanwhile planned to have their personnel at entrances and exits of transport terminals, as well as partnerships with the Philippine National Police to monitor possible colorum operations.
