The National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) continuously prepares for the November 30 protest to avoid a repeat of the riot during the September 21 rally in Manila, public information office chief Police Major Hazel Asilo said Sunday.
“Kami ay nakahanda na at patuloy na naghahanda para sa November 30 na Trillion Peso March,” Asilos said in an interview on Super Radyo dzBB.
(We are ready and are continuing to prepare for the November 30 Trillion Peso March.)
“Ngayon, mas pinaigting natin ‘yung monitoring lalo yung pagbabantay sa social media dahil doon natin nakita na nahihikayat yung kabataan,” she added.
(We have intensified our monitoring especially in social media because we saw that that’s where they recruit the youth.)
At least 216 individuals, of whom 89 are minors, were arrested after violence broke out during the protest against corruption in relation to the alleged anomalous flood control projects last September 21.
The November 30 nationwide Trillion Peso March was organized by some sectors to demand accountability, the return of stolen public funds, and full transparency. —KG, GMA Integrated News
