AFP assessing reports of possible infiltrators, grenade threats in upcoming rallies
The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) has received unverified reports of potential infiltrators and grenade threats ahead of three days of planned rallies.
AFP Chief of Staff Gen. Romeo Brawner Jr. stated that this information was shared with both him and the Philippine National Police (PNP).
General Brawner urged protest organizers to police their ranks to prevent infiltration and potential harm to peaceful citizens.
Despite these concerns, General Brawner emphasized that the AFP does not view the upcoming demonstrations, scheduled from November 16 to 18, as alarming.
The reported threats come ahead of significant assemblies by the Iglesia ni Cristo at Rizal Park and the United People's Initiative at the EDSA Shrine and People Power Monument.
