From the Philippine News Agency (Apr 30): Military task force on standby for May 1 rallies
The military's Joint Task Force-National Capital Region (JTF-NCR) announced that two platoons are on stand-by to assist in ensuring security during the country's observance of Labor Day on Tuesday.
This was disclosed by JTF-NCR head Brig. Gen. Alan Arrojado in an interview late Sunday.
He added that the JTF-NCR has yet to receive any request for assistance from the National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) for securing Labor Day activities.
These two platoons are being supported by an Explosive Ordnance Disposal-K 9 team and another team from the military's Emergency Medical Recon.
A platoon is composed of 24 to 28 officers and enlisted men while a team consists of four personnel.
Also, Arrojado said that they are still to monitor any security threats for the annual observance.
