• Awaiting deadline 60% Routine Compliance

  The massive deployment proceeds without major incident as the primary threat—graveyard looting and traffic congestion—is managed through standard traffic rerouting and visible patrols. Local government units coordinate effectively with police to manage crowd flows at major cemeteries in Bacolod, resulting in a statistically normal holiday period with no significant violent crime spikes.

• Awaiting deadline 25% Civic Disruption

  The sheer volume of personnel and vehicle checkpoints creates severe gridlock that paralyzes access to key cemeteries in Bacolod and nearby towns, leading to widespread public frustration. While no violence occurs, the logistical bottleneck causes a standstill in emergency vehicle movement and prompts complaints from civic groups about misallocation of resources for crowd control rather than traffic management.

• Awaiting deadline 10% Targeted Crime Spike

  Despite the high visibility of the 3,000+ personnel, opportunistic criminal groups exploit blind spots in the distributed deployment, leading to a cluster of high-profile thefts from parked vehicles or gravesites. The dispersion of forces across a wide area allows small bands of thieves to operate with reduced risk of immediate interception, drawing sharp criticism from the public regarding the efficacy of the mobilization.

• Awaiting deadline 5% Political Confrontation

  The mobilization is leveraged as a political tool, with local opposition leaders accusing the provincial administration of using police resources for political intimidation or campaign groundwork rather than public safety. This leads to a public standoff or protest outside police headquarters or key deployment sites, transforming a routine security operation into a visible political crisis within the first two days.
