PNP to exercise maximum tolerance for Asean Summit rallies
PNP chief Gen. Jose Melencio Nartatez Jr. urged protest organizers to heed the appeal of the Asean National Organizing Council’s security officials to defer their public assemblies until after the high-stakes regional meeting.
He said deployed personnel were ready “to respond to any action that will disrupt the event.”

The 49th Asean Summit, scheduled for Nov. 15 to 17, will gather leaders and delegations from the 11 member states, as well as dialogue partners China, South Korea, Japan, United States, Australia, New Zealand, India and Canada
Several organizations, including transport group Piston and Bagong Alyansang Makabayan, earlier announced plans to hold a transport strike and public demonstrations to oppose the presence of United States President Donald Trump in the country.
Nartatez said security measures were already in place, with more than 23,000 security personnel deployed to secure the main venue, the Philippine International Convention Center in Pasay City, as well as other key areas and major routes.
A ceremonial send-off for the Asean Summit security forces was earlier held at the Quirino Grandstand in Manila.
“Security preparations for an event of this scale require foresight, seamless coordination, and the ability to respond decisively to emerging threats. We are leaving nothing to chance,” Nartatez said. /mcm
