Metro Manila, June 15 ------ The Philippine National Police will implement a gun ban during the inauguration of President-elect Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. in Manila and Vice President-elect Sara Duterte in Davao City.
In Davao City, the gun ban will take effect on June 16 to 21 for Duterte's inauguration at the San Pedro Square on June 19. The gun ban will be implemented in Metro Manila on June 27 to July 2 for the oath-taking of Marcos at the National Museum in Manila on June 30. The vice president-elect’s father, outgoing President Rodrigo Duterte, and former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo have confirmed their attendance at the Davao event. Other prominent personalities are expected to attend the inauguration.
PNP Director for Operations Valeriano de Leon said at least 3,700 police officers will be tapped to secure Duterte's swearing-in ceremony, while at least 6,000 will be deployed for Marcos' inauguration. He added the number excludes those who would be stationed for border control and other uniformed personnel. He said Civil Disturbance Management units will also be deployed near the oathtaking sites, adding no group has been granted permit to conduct rallies yet. “The world will be watching us and we will not allow unruly and unauthorized rallies,” said De Leon, adding that there will be designated freedom parks for the protesters.
