From the Philippine News Agency (May 7): Airspace over Intramuros, PICC, House of Representatives declared no-fly zones

To ensure the security and safety of designated national canvasing centers, the Commission on Elections has ordered the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) to declare the airspace over Intramuros, the Philippine International Convention Center (PICC), and the House of Representatives in Batasan Hills, Quezon City as strictly no-fly zones for all kinds of drones, unmanned aerial vehicles and rotary aircraft.

This is in line with the conduct of the national and local elections on May 9 and the subsequent canvasing of votes that will be done in these places.

All forms of unmanned aerial vehicles, drones and rotary aircraft that have no clearance from the CAAP are ordered to stay clear of the said areas.

The Armed Forces of the Philippines and the Philippine National Police will strictly enforce the no-fly zone and will shoot down all unnamed aerial vehicles in all these areas on sight.

The public is highly enjoined to report the presence of UAVs and drones they see in these areas. Likewise, everyone’s cooperation is also sought on the matter.
