“Everything is now being put in place.” This was the statement issued by S/Supt. Leonardo Espina, Philippine National Police (PNP) spokesperson during an interview.
Espina issued the statement in relation to the security plan being implemented by the PNP, including the installation of closed circuit television (CCTV) cameras in strategic areas in Metro Manila in coordination with the PNP – National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) for the State of the Nation Address (SONA) of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo on July 27, 2009.
He explained that the PNP is doing this to install peace, security and road traffic ease for the general public despite rally groups’ protest actions. (PIA)
