PNP chief: Cops maximum tolerance not unlimited
Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Gen. Rommel Francisco Marbil ordered maximum tolerance for protesters during the State of the Nation Address (SONA), but stressed this has limitations.
He directed the National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) director to file civil and criminal cases if police officers get hurt in the line of duty, emphasizing that police can also file complaints if injured.
PNP officers guarding the SONA will also ensure they do not impede vehicular traffic.
Quezon City Police District chief Brig. Gen. Redrico Maranan stated that no threats have been monitored as of posting time, and they have been gathering intelligence information for two months.
The NCRPO deployed 23,000 officers and has been on full alert since Sunday.
A gun ban is in effect until 11:59 p.m., and a liquor ban is imposed by the local government from 12:01 a.m. to 6 p.m.
