The Marines are back to reinforce and secure the Senate of the Philippines, the workplace of the country’s 24 elected senators. The Senate holds its offices in the six-storey building owned by GSIS in Pasay City.
The marines replaced the security unit of the Philippine National Police , which will occupy the outside of the Senate compound. However, personnel from the Office of the Sergeant- At-Arms will secure the inside of the Senate. Ancan dismissed any threat to the Senate. He also said the return of the Marines was not due to the ongoing Senate POGO hearing, especially since Shiela Guo—one of the suspects linked to this illegal activity—is being held in the Senate detention facility.Senator Sherwin Gatchalian, who has been co-leading the Senate probe into the illegal POGO operations, earlier said he received death threats during the height of their congressional inquiry.
