PNP sees peaceful, orderly mass actions in support to President Duterte's SONA

From the Philippine News Agency (Jul 25): PNP sees peaceful, orderly mass actions in support to President Duterte's SONA

Philippine National Police (PNP) Chief Director General Ronald ‘Bato’ Dela Rosa said on Monday that the police force expects a peaceful activity to be staged by militant groups in line with President Rodrigo Duterte's first State of the Nation Address (SONA).

Dela Rosa made the statement following his visit to Commonwealth Avenue to inspect the deployment of policemen in the area where militant troops are set to stage a solidarity rally, as he ordered anti-riot cops to lay down their shields.

”This is the first time the police not feeling threatened relax na relax po yung kapulisan naitn. Traditionally only limited along Commonwealth (Avenue) road block natin yung isang bahagi but ngayon we allowed them get inside in Batasan road totally Commonwelth, walang traffic problem so doon sa sila loob around 300 meters ng Batasan,” he told reporters.

According to Dela Rosa, militant groups were allowed to stage mass action 300 meters from the Batasan Complex.

With this, Dela Rosa expects a positve change in the behavior of the rallyists, assuring them that the cops will protect and respect their rights.

”(There is) change because there with us they are no longer against us that’s how we feel that they are solid behind the Duterte administration this they want reform this is the change we are observing and experiencing yung militante nakipagbakbakan hampasan sa ating pulis ay nagpapakitang support sa administration nagpapakita ng disiplina,” said Dela Rosa.

When asked on what he expects from President Duterte’s SONA, Dela Rosa answered “honestly I’m not expecting in particular to be said by the President but expecting general terms policy not really particular in PNP kung banggitin niya yung accomplishment pasasalamat tayo kung hind ok lang at alam naman niya ginagawa ng police at alam ng taong bayan ng kapulisan.”
