June 28, 2019

The National Capitol Region Police Office ( NCRPO) on Friday placed the metropolis under full alert '' as a proactive means'' in response to the terror attack near a military camp in Indanan, Sulu. 

''Although there are no threats detected within the National Capital Region but as a proactive means in response to this terror attack, the entire region is now placed under full alert status effective 6 pm today,'' said Police Major General Guillermo Eleazar in a statement.

''Having this measure could mean of great help in deterring unscrupulous individuals in carrying out their illegal or terroristic acts,'' added Eleazar.

Five, including three soldiers, were killed as a bomb exploded near  a checkpoint set up by the 1st Brigade Combat Team in its command post in Barangay Kajatian, Indanan, Sulu.

Eleazar said he ''highly encourage the public to remain alert and vigilant.''

He said people should ''report any incident or suspicious person to the nearest police station or you can reach or communicate through our NCRPO text hotlines, Globe: 09158888181, Smart: 09999018181.'' DMS
