Joint Task Force-National Capital Region (JTF-NCR), the
military formation which will aid the police in monitoring President Benigno S.
Aquino III's sixth State-of-the-Nation Address (SONA) on Monday, is projecting
a generally peaceful conclusion of the activity.
"Basically, we are seeing a generally peaceful
conclusion to the SONA," JTF-NCR deputy commander Col. Vic Tomas said in
Filipino on Sunday.
Tomas also said they are expecting militant groups to come
out with their sentiments against the SONA but added that the police are ready
to contain these individuals should they become unruly.
The JTF-NCR deputy commander disclosed that they are not
expecting any untoward for Monday's activity.
"As far as we are concerned, it's all system go (for
the SONA)," he added.
Around 2,500 troops from the Armed Forces of the Philippines
These include attached K-9, explosive ordnance division,
crowd-control and medical units.
However, these troops will remain in their respective camps
unless called by the PNP, Tomas said.
Another 1,000 men from the JTF-NCR are ready for possible
mobilization if needed.
