“In this regard, PROs (Police Regional Offices) and NSUs (National Support Units) are placed under heightened alert status nationwide effective 5 p.m. of March 11, 2025,” dagdag pa.
Si Duterte ay inaresto sa Ninoy Aquino International Airport nitong Martes ng umaga matapos lumapag mula sa Hong Kong.
