If military personnel would be deployed to locales, there is “no need for them to drive their tanks into the cities and towns,” Tupas said.
“While we deploy our soldiers to the population centers, special care must be taken that the surrounding areas and remote communities are not wide open to attacks by insurgents, bandits, and other lawless armed groups,” he added. Romero’s proposed peacekeeping mobilization will be until April 30 covering Metro Manila, Central Luzon, and Calabarzon .
“During the peacekeeping mission, mobilize and deploy the armed services to as many streets and intersections as possible, all the military and police, including all their civilian personnel and uniformed personnel assigned to offices, as well as the cadets in the academies and those in training at the military camps,” the lawmaker added.Likewise, Romero is proposing a curfew from 12:00 noon to 6:00 a.m.
