While stressing that maximum tolerance policy will be
observed against rallyists marching against the four-day Asia-Pacific Economic
Conference (APEC) Leaders Summit in Metro Manila, Philippine National Police
(PNP) Director General Ricardo Marquez urged protesters to avoid doing actions
which can embarrassed the government and the visiting delegations.
He made this statement while visiting police officers
deployed in Baclaran, Paranaque
and other parts of Southern Metro Manila where bulk of APEC events and venues
are located.
As of this posting, militant groups are conducting protest
actions near the US Embassy in Roxas
Boulevard and Mendiola, Manila ;
and Buendia, Makati .
And while the PNP is obligated to observe the maximum
tolerance policy against protesters, Marquez said the police was also tasked to
ensure that nothing potentially embarrassing or violent would mar the
proceedings.
Any untoward incidents would greatly impact the country's
reputation, he added.

An exercise in futility. Most of the protests are led by Communist Party of the Philippine front organizations. The whole point of the commie demonstrations is to discredit the Philippine government and especially the Aquino administration. The APEC meeting gives these groups an international stage on which to carryout their nonsense.
