MANILA — In response to the tragic bombing incident during a Catholic mass at the Mindanao State University gymnasium in Marawi City, which claimed the lives of four worshipers and left several individuals critically injured, the Philippine National Police (PNP) has elevated security measures in the National Capital Region (NCR).
Photographs depict officers from the Manila Police District (MPD) Station 5 conducting a checkpoint along Taft Ave. in Manila on Friday, December 5, 2023. This proactive measure aligns with the aftermath of the bombing in MSU and in anticipation of the upcoming Christmas rush.
