MANILA, Philippines (Updated 4:36 p.m.) — The Philippine National Police urged rallyists planning to hold protests during the inauguration of President-elect Ferdinand Marcos Jr. to hold protests at "proper" venues like freedom parks. 

 

Speaking in an interview aired over DZBB Super Radyo, Police Maj. Gen. Valeriano De Leon, PNP director for operations, said the PNP has not received reports of gun ban violations but is aware of plans to stage a rally.
