MANILA, Philippines – Sinabi ng National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) nitong Biyernes, Marso 14 na wala itong namomonitor na impormasyon sa anumang banta sa Metro Manila, taliwas sa mga kumakalat sa social media.
“Our stringent security measures are already established in coordination with other security agencies and contingency plans are also in place for any unusual occurrence in the security situation,” ayon sa NCRPO.
“We maintain however that, as of now, there is no credible information monitored by our intelligence units that would suggest any form of threat in Metro Manila,” dagdag pa nito.
Ang pahayag ng NCRPO ay kasunod ng post ng isang Facebook page na nagsasabing dapat maghanda ang mga residente ng Metro Manila sa posibleng emergency situation.
“Recently, a post by the Facebook page ‘Maranao TV’ was monitored, depicting an unidentified person advising residents to make preparations for a possible emergency situation in Metro Manila,” pagbabahagi ng NCRPO.
“We want to assure everyone that an in-depth validation was immediately conducted and based on latest intelligence report by various intelligence units, there is no information of any security threat that can cause security alarm in Metro Manila,” dagdag pa.
Sa video, sinabi ng lalaki na dapat mag-imbak ng mga pagkain, gamot at baterya ang mga residente ng Manila dahil sa “something is coming up.”
Iniimbestigahan na ng NCRPO ang pagkakakilanlan ng nasa likod ng page.
“We encourage everyone to remain calm, deliberate, and to be very discerning in what you see in social media,” ayon sa NCRPO.
“Further, immediately report to the nearest police station information of any suspicious persons and events for immediate and appropriate actions, as authorized under the Police Operational Procedures of the PNP.” RNT/JGC
