From the Manila Standard Today (Mar 19): 500 soldiers on backup
Armed Forces Chief of Staff Gen. Emmanuel Bautista has ordered the Joint Task Force National Capital Region to place at least 500 soldiers to augment police forces during Holy Week.
Military spokesman Col. Arnulfo Marcelo Burgos Jr. said lenten operations will be conducted along with Camp Crame where Supt. Alex Yanquiling, Metro Manila operations division chief, said NCRPO chief Leonardo Espina has placed 17,000 officers on full alert.
“We will have maximum deployment,” Yanquiling said. “Even policemen in desk duties will get out and patrol with barangay watchmen.
Espina said bus inspections will be mandatory in terminals including K9 units for firearms and bomb detection.
“We will implement strict checks to ensure the safety of the commuters,” he said.
