MANILA, Philippines — The Philippine National Police's office in the Ilocos-Pangasinan Region apologized to the Department of Education for what it described as the "apparent overreaction" by members of a Municipal Police Station in a public elementary school in Pangasinan for the first day of the pilot testing of face-to-face classes.

 

This comes after a Department of Education field report observed the "presence of uniformed personnel equipped with their issued firearm inside one of the pilot schools of limited face-to-face classes."

 

The cops in question were part of the security detail of a local government official who visited the school, the DepEd said.
