MANILA, Philippines – Magpapakalat ang Philippine National Police (PNP) ng 19,869 police personnel para magbigay-seguridad sa mga venue, hotel at ruta ng motorcade sa ASEAN Summit mula Nobyembre 15 hanggang 17.
Paiigtingin din ng pulisya ang intelligence monitoring at isasapinal ang security preparations sa nalalapit na regional gathering, kung saan inaasahang dadaluhan ito ng mahigit 20 world leaders.
“We will deploy 19,869 police personnel to secure the summit venues, hotels, and motorcade routes in close coordination with the Armed Forces of the Philippines, the Presidential Security Command, other agencies, and local government units,” sinabi ni PNP chief Gen. Jose Melencio Nartatez Jr. sa press briefing ngayong Lunes, Nobyembre 9.
“The PNP is in the final stages of ironing out its security preparations to ensure that every detail is covered before the arrival of our foreign leaders and delegates,” dagdag pa ni Nartatez.
“We are fine-tuning our deployment, intelligence monitoring, contingency plans, and inter-agency coordination because when it comes to security, even the smallest detail matters.”
Sinusuri na rin nito ang personnel deployment, intelligence operations, contingency measures, at coordination sa iba pang ahensya para matugunan ang posibleng security concerns.
Inatasan na ang National Capital Region Police Office at iba pang concerned units para isapinal ang kanilang security arrangements at beripikahin ang deployment plans bago ang pagdating ng foreign dignitaries at mga delegado.
Nauna nang iniulat ng Malakanyang na nasa 90% hanggang 95% nang kumpleto ang paghahanda para sa ASEAN Summit.
“We assure our Asean partners that the PNP is fully committed and prepared to secure this important regional gathering,” ani Nartatez.
“We will leave nothing to chance, and our personnel will remain vigilant, disciplined, and ready to respond to any eventuality to ensure a peaceful and incident-free summit.” RNT/JGC
