The National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) will be on full alert starting November 28 in preparation for the Trillion Peso March protest scheduled for November 30.
NCRPO spokesperson Police Major Hazel Asilo stated that over 50,000 people are expected to join the anti-corruption protests.
Police will secure key areas with the Armed Forces of the Philippines, Metropolitan Manila Development Authority and local government units.
The NCRPO will implement maximum tolerance to maintain order during the protests.
During full alert status, policemen are prohibited from taking leave, except in cases of emergency and sickness.
The number of deployed police personnel will increase compared to the Iglesia Ni Cristo rally to prevent violence.
Metro Manila police will be deployed in specialized teams focused on civil disturbance management, negotiation, monitoring, and arrests.
Live monitoring using CCTV systems will be conducted to assess prompt response capabilities in the event of a sudden increase in attendees.
Authorities have received a permit for the protest to be held at the EDSA People Power Monument until 8 p.m.
