PNP lauds INC for peaceful rally
The Philippine National Police (PNP) commended both their personnel and the Iglesia Ni Cristo (INC) for the peaceful and orderly conclusion of the INC assemblies.
PNP acting chief Police Lieutenant General Jose Melencio Nartatez Jr. lauded officers for implementing security protocols and thanked the INC for cooperating with authorities.
Nartatez stated that the cooperation shown by INC rally organizers allowed police to perform their duties effectively and efficiently, respecting the right to assemble and freedom of expression.
The INC leaders expressed that they achieved their goal of calling for justice, accountability, and transparency regarding the flood corruption scandal.
Nartatez attributed the calm atmosphere to clear coordination, better preparation, and the professionalism of police personnel deployed for the rallies.
He contrasted the INC assemblies from Nov. 16 to 17 with the Sept. 21 anti-corruption protest where arrests and injuries were recorded.
