Philippine National Police (PNP) Chief P/Gen. Jose Melencio Nartatez Jr. on Thursday assured the public that all security preparations are in place for the 128th anniversary of the Proclamation of Philippine Independence on Friday, June 12.

Nartatez said no validated threats have been monitored so far in relation to the Independence Day observance, noting that nationwide deployments and coordination with local government units are aimed at ensuring peaceful and orderly celebrations across the country.

“This is an annual activity that we prepare for every year. We trust our commanders and personnel to make real-time security adjustments based on threat assessments, intelligence gathering, and the situation on the ground,” Nartatez said.

He added that police forces will remain on alert, with standby units ready for immediate deployment in case of any eventuality.

The PNP has intensified security preparations nationwide for flag-raising ceremonies, wreath-laying rites, parades, and cultural presentations to be held under the theme “Kalayaan, Kinabukasan, Kasaysayan.”

Police regional offices have activated their respective security plans in coordination with local government units, event organizers, and partner agencies.

In Metro Manila, around 12,000 personnel and force multipliers have been deployed. Security coverage is focused on Rizal Park, the Parada ng Kalayaan route, the Bonifacio Monument, the Mausoleo de los Veteranos de la Revolucion, the Pinaglabanan Memorial Shrine, the Malacañang area, and the vicinity of the U.S. Embassy.

Security measures are also in place around the Senate and the House of Representatives in coordination with their respective officials and security personnel in anticipation of possible protest actions related to the current political situation.

Nartatez said communication lines between the Senate and the PNP remain open, along with those involving other government agencies participating in the June 12 activities.

“We are ready. We are continuously monitoring the situation, and we assure the Filipino people of the PNP’s presence and readiness as the country celebrates its Independence Day,” Nartatez said.
