With the coming barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan elections closing in, Manila Police District (MPD) personnel increased their visibility by efficiently manning checkpoints installed at key points in The City of Man.

The BSK elections are slated for October 30, 2023, where the electorate is scheduled to choose village chiefs, members of barangay councils, and Sangguninang Kabataan officers throughout the country’s 42,029 barangays.

Featured images here show MPD officers stopping and frisking passing motorists at the foot of Jones Bridge in Binondo, Manila. The Comelec gun ban is very much in effect.
