The Armed Forces of the Philippines
This comes in wake of the terrorist attacks in Paris , France
"The alert status was also raised a day ahead of
schedule as a matter of procedure following any international terrorist
incident such as this morning's terrorist attack in Paris
He added that APEC security planners are now seriously
looking into this recent incident to ensure security preparations are
appropriately upgraded.
At 8:20 a.m., PNP head Director General Ricardo C. Marquez,
placed all PNP units nationwide under "FULL ALERT" condition to
ensure availability and operational readiness of police forces to respond to
any contingencies.
Upgrading of the alert condition of police units is a matter
of routine procedure under similar situations involving international security
concerns, and necessitated further by ongoing security operations for the
coming APEC meeting.
"Although we have not monitored any specific or direct
threat in our homefront, nonetheless, target hardening measures on vital
installations, particularly seaports, airports and our rail systems have been
further elevated to maximize deterrence against unforeseen events,"
Marquez said.
"We have received reports of scare messages circulating
through telecom and social media networks warning of purported scenarios and
events. These only serve to add to public anxiety that may further lead to
hysteria and panic. Please disregard such messages and report immediately to
authorities," he added.
