At least twenty four security units coming from the Philippine National Police (PNP) and the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) will be deployed to the Crocodile Park to secure the “One Love, One Nationa Thanksgiving Party #DU31” for President-elect Rodrigo Duterte on Saturday.
Kat Dailisay of the Manic Nightings Production, the
organizer of the event, said the forces from 24 security units will be joined
by the Philippine Security Group (PSG) which will secure the inner core for
Duterte, who might attend Saturday's party.
According to Dalisay, 4,500 security personnel will secure
the Crocodile park while another 1,000 personnel will secure the periphery
areas of the venue.
Driz said all police and security forces will be deployed in
strategic areas near and leading to the party venue.
Organizers say the event is expected to draw over 200,000
supporters in Davao and across Mindanao .
With the huge number of attendees, Driz said each party-goer will undergo a
four-layer security check inside the venue.
Davao City Police Office (DCPO) spokesperson Milgrace Driz
said the city police alone is deploying 2,000 uniformed and plainclothes law
enforcers in addition to the Police Regional Office (PRO) 11, Task Force Davao,
and the Army’s 10th Infantry Division.
Aside from the venue, police will also be deployed in
airport, seaports, terminals as lookout for suspected terrorists.
Driz said stringent measures normally observed during big
events will be in place. Driz said that as standard procedure, people will be
prohibited to carry backpacks inside the venue. No drinks in canisters will be
allowed and no deadly weapons. Juice and drinking water must be kept in clear
and transparent containers. People will not be allowed to bring liquor inside
the venue but alcoholic drinks will be for sale inside. Wearing of ball caps
and pair of sunglasses are not also allowed.
If possible, Driz said, it would be good for people not to
bring bags.
She reminded the public on the citywide prohibitions on
smoking, selling of liquors beyond midnight, and selling these to minors.
PRO 11 spokesperson Andrea dela Cerna earlier said her
office is coordinating with counterpart law enforcement agencies in the nearby
municipalities to conduct checkpoints for vehicles entering Davao City.
She said all police units were directed to physically
inspect all persons entering the city.
Dela Cerna also advised drivers of delivery trucks or vans
to better avoid the Carlos P.
Garcia Highway
