The Philippine National Police (PNP) will deploy nearly 11,500 personnel for the upcoming Trillion Peso March and related activities marking the 40th anniversary of the People Power Revolution.
The planned gatherings will feature prayer and indignation rallies on 22 and 25 February 2026, with an expected turnout of around 50,000 participants.
Chief PNP Police General Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr. said the deployment aims to support crowd management, traffic control, and emergency response while ensuring public safety. He encouraged participants to cooperate with authorities and follow safety protocols.
The deployment under the Enhanced Managing Police Operations (EMPO) will be led by the following units:
Quezon City Police District – 2,642 personnel
Manila Police District – 2,438
Southern Police District – 2,322
Northern Police District – 1,056

Additional personnel will come from the Regional Headquarters (700), Regional Intelligence Division (73), Regional Mobile Force Battalion (558), and Special Action Force (77). Support units include the Regional Communications and Electronics Unit (45), Regional Highway Patrol Unit (24), Regional Explosive Ordnance Disposal and Canine Unit (103), and Regional Medical and Dental Unit (10).
The PNP will also hold a coordination conference with event organizers next week to finalize operational plans and permit processing.
Authorities said the deployment aims to maintain order and safety without disrupting the public’s right to assemble peacefully.
