National Capital Region Police Office Chief Police Major General Jose Melencio Nartatez Jr said they might deploy more PNP personnel for President Bongbong Marcos Jr.’s third State of the Nation Address (SONA) in July.
During the 2nd SONA of PBBM, the NCRPO deployed 22,000 PNP personnel.
According to NCRPO Chief Nartatez, the SONA of the President is on July 22 and weeks before the said event, they will prepare security operations around the Batasang Pambansa in Quezon City and surrounding areas.
Furthermore, the NCRPO chief warned protesters not to burn effigies to avoid charges.
The Quezon City Police District (QCPD) filed a complaint against Bagong Alyansang Makabayan (Bayan) Secretary General Renato Reyes and others for burning a presidential effigy in protest last year during PBBM’s 2nd SONA.
