Quezon City Police District (QCPD) acting director Col. Randy Glenn Silvio led the inspection of anti-riot units and equipment in preparation for upcoming protest rallies on Oct. 26.
The Simultaneous Showdown Inspection was held at the QCPD grandstand t Camp Karingal, Quezon City.
The activity was conducted in line with one of the key agendas of Philippine National Police acting chief Lt. Gen. Jose Melencio Nartatez Jr. meant to ensure the readiness of all police units for the so-called 2nd Trillion-Peso March scheduled on Nov. 30, 2025.
It covered various operational assets, including buses, trucks, mobile patrol cars, Civil Disturbance Management (CDM) equipment, drones, body-worn cameras (BWCs), and the command vehicle used for field coordination and monitoring.
Specialized units such as the Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) and the explosive ordnance disposal and canine (EOD/K9) teams also manifested their preparedness with complete operational gear, including assault rifles, ballistic shields, long range acoustic devices, explosive sniffing dogs, and explosive ordnance robots.
“The QCPD is always prepared to serve and protect. We ensure that our personnel, equipment, and resources are fully ready to effectively and professionally respond to any situation during public assemblies,” Silvio said.
