Vacationers heading for Pangasinan's beaches for the Holy Week and summer vacation will not be allowed to swim after 6 p.m.

This was one of the measures the Pangasinan Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council has taken to ensure zero drowning incident.

"Ang aming number one objective(s) ay zero drowning incident and ma-avoid ang mga petty crimes," Pangasinan PDRRMC spokesperson Avenix Arenas said in an interview on GMA Dagupan's "Primera Balita" Tuesday.

Signage by the PDRRMC had been posted at beaches, informing visitors of the no-swimming policy after 6 p.m.

"(B)awal ... maligo pagsapit ng 6:00 ng hapon," read the signs.

The PDRRMC also encouraged the use of lifesavers and floating devices when big waves occur.

Arenas also reminded vacationers not to swim when drunk or shortly after eating.
