Fajardo added that they will also have a coordinating conference on Wednesday, along with the Office of the Sergeant-at-Arms of the HOR, to further discuss some of the security protocols within and outside the HOR.
PNP chief PGen. Nicolas Torre III directed PNP personnel to conduct an “honest-to-goodness” threat assessment for the said event, which will be held at the Batasang Pambasa Complex in Quezon City.
Fajardo further discussed that if there’s a need to adjust the security template, they will provide an updated threat assessment that includes the possible number of people who will conduct activities.
Named activities included rallies for both pro and anti-Marcos administrations.
