PNP says ready to secure weekly anti-corruption protests
The Philippine National Police (PNP) is on alert for a series of anticorruption protests organized by the Trillion Peso March movement, which will occur every Friday leading up to a larger rally on November 30.
PNP Acting Chief Lt. Gen. Jose Melencio Nartatez Jr. stated that police commanders, particularly in Metro Manila, have been alerted to these planned demonstrations.
Nartatez acknowledged the importance of these protests for citizens seeking truth and justice regarding allegations of corruption involving public funds.
He assured the public of the police's role in securing these assemblies while also expressing readiness to handle any potential disruptions or illegal activities.
This series of protests follows a September 21 rally where violence occurred at Ayala Bridge and Mendiola Peace Arch, resulting in the arrest of over 200 individuals, including minors, and prompting accusations of excessive force against the police.
