The Police Regional Office (PRO-6) is all set for the fifth State of the Nation Address (SONA) 2026 of President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. today, July 27.
A total of 4,826 personnel and force multipliers have been deployed across Western Visayas to ensure a safe, peaceful, and orderly environment.
The contingent comprises 3,905 officers from the Philippine National Police (PNP), 117 augmentation personnel from partner agencies —including the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), Philippine Coast Guard (PCG), and the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) — and 804 force multipliers composed of community volunteers and advocacy groups.
Deployed units will carry out targeted security operations, including heightened police visibility, foot and mobile patrols, traffic management, medical response coordination, checkpoint and border controls, and civil disturbance management.
Additionally, Quick Reaction Teams (QRT) and the Reactionary Standby Support Force (RSSF) are placed on high alert for immediate dispatch in case of contingency.
Special security coverage are designated at Freedom Parks, public assembly sites, and other venues expected to hold gatherings or events related to the SONA.
PRO-6 Acting Regional Director Police Brigadier General Randulf T. Tuaño emphasized that security operations are centered on maintaining peace, protecting the public, and upholding human rights.
“PRO6 is fully prepared to ensure a safe and peaceful SONA 2026. We have directed all our personnel to remain vigilant, disciplined, professional, and ready to respond to any eventuality. Public safety and security are our top priorities,” he said.
Tuaño also appealed to the public for full cooperation with local authorities, urging residents to adhere to security measures, maintain vigilance, and immediately report any suspicious activities to the nearest police station or through the Unified Emergency Hotline 911.
Marcos is set to deliver his SONA at the Batasang Pambansa in Quezon City at 4 p.m.IMT
