8.5K pulis ipakakalat sa anibersaryo ng People Power

MANILA, Philippines – Magpapakalat ng nasa 8,500 pulis ang Philippine National Police (PNP) para sa mga aktibidad na may kinalaman sa ika-38 anibersaryo ng EDSA People Power Revolution sa Pebrero 25.

“We are looking at the rallies one in Cebu and the other rallies will be in Manila. In Cebu, we intend to deploy more or less 2,500 police personnel and in Metro Manila may hinanda rin na kaukulan, more or less 6,000. And of course, these numbers will adjust depending on how the intelligence reports will come in,” pahayag ni PNP chief Gen. Benjamin Acorda Jr. sa sidelines ng anibersaryo ng Manila Police District nitong Lunes, Pebrero 19.

Umapela si Acorda sa mga magpoprotesta at mga grupo na isagawa nang mapayapa ang kanilang mga aktibidad.

“We will be exercising maximum tolerance pero sana wala naman manggugulo,” ayon kay Acorda.

Wala namang namomonitor na banta ang pulisya sa okasyon.

“So far wala naman tayong nakikitang kumbaga nakakabahala except for the crowd. We expect but nevertheless, our PNP, the men on the ground, we are closely monitoring all the intelligence reports na natatanggap natin and we will be deploying accordingly,” ayon pa kay Acorda.

Ngayong taon ay hindi kasama sa listahan ng mga holiday ang Pebrero 25.

“The Office of the President maintains respect for the commemoration of the EDSA People Power Revolution. However, it was not included in the list of special non-working days for the year 2024 because February 25 falls on a Sunday,” naunang pahayag ng Office of the President.

“There is minimal socio-economic impact in declaring this day as a special non-working holiday since it coincides with the rest day for most workers and laborers,” dagdag pa niya. RNT/JGC
