The Department of the Interior and Local Government, together with the Philippine National Police, is fully prepared to ensure the safe and orderly conduct of the Trillion Peso March on November 30. Our commitment would always be simple and firm: protect every citizen, maintain public order, and ensure that this mass action proceeds safely.

The PNP will deploy sufficient personnel across critical areas to manage crowds, respond to emergencies, and keep traffic moving. Maximum tolerance will be strictly observed. To further safeguard the public, the Permit to Carry Firearms Outside of Residence in Metro Manila is suspended from November 29 to December 1. Only law enforcement personnel performing official duties in proper uniform are allowed to carry firearms during this period.

These measures are in line with the directives of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. to guarantee public safety while upholding the constitutional right of Filipinos to peacefully assemble.

The DILG urges all participants to exercise their rights responsibly, follow lawful instructions from authorities, and contribute to an orderly and secure event. This is an opportunity to show that our democracy works when freedom and responsibility go hand in hand.

Our mandate remains clear and that is to protect every life, respect every voice, and uphold the rule of law at all times.
