Among the safety measures being put in place for President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.’s second State of the Nation Address (SONA) subsequent month is a PNP cell command middle that may patrol the Batasang Pambansa Complex, Mark Salazar reported Thursday on “24 Oras.”
Shown contained in the cell middle is a military-grade police drone able to jamming alerts and attacking unknown drones.
“Once that we declare the world as a ‘no-drone’ and ‘no-fly’ zone it ought to be adopted as a result of drones these days have so many capabilities. Pwedeng ma-attach-an ‘yan ng explosives or whatsoever [Explosives can be attached to them],” said National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) Chief Police Major General Edgar Alan Okubo.
Okubo further said the PNP drone has a facial recognition feature.
“It has facial recognition that can be immediately fed into our computers and based on our data na mukha ng mga wanted o prominent personalities, magma-match agad ‘yan [that can find matches from our data of wanted or prominent individuals],” he said.
“We’ll strive it on the SONA. Ihabol namin ang database diyan. Kung ma-connect namin yung database ng DIDM [Directorate for Investigation and Detective Management] at nationwide police clearance system namin, kasi might faces doon ng lahat ng kumuha ng police clearance. It may even join at file ng Interpol,” Okubo added.
(We’ll strive it on the SONA. We’ll attempt to join the DIDM and the nationwide police clearance system database. It may even connect with the information of Interpol.)
The police mentioned the system will probably be used for monitoring and never for profiling or red-tagging progressive teams anticipated to stage rallies throughout the SONA.
“There will be no profiling, of course. This is just for the monitoring of this event and for assisting and deciding the immediate actions, kung ano kailangang natin [whatever we need],” Okubo mentioned. — Sundy Locus/BM, GMA Integrated News
