The incoming head of the Presidential Security Group (PSG)
met with members of the Philippine National Police (PNP) here on Tuesday to
craft a security plan for the incoming President Rodrigo Duterte.
Col. Rolando Bautista held a closed door meeting with Police
Regional Office (PRO) 11 Director Manuel Gaerlan to discuss the security
measures while Duterte stays in the city before the official oath-taking in
Malacañan on June 30.
Bautista is currently the commander of the 104th Brigade
based in Basilan. He said the security measures will be presented to Duterte
first for adjustment.
He also pointed out the implementation of the security
measures is important considering that Duterte will be the next highest leader
of the country.
Bautista said the PSG follows protocol for the president
although Duterte is known to many as “hands-on” on his safety as he despises
security tailing him every time he is out of the house.
Bautista said he expects changes but what is important is
“we have to secure the President.” He is also aware that Duterte visits rebel
areas and this is part of their adjustment.
Asked if Duterte needs to adjust with the protocols of the
PSG, Bautista said they should be the one who should adjust, as long as the
security of the President is not at stake.
