@philippinestar: At least 51 individuals have been arrested during protest actions held alongside President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s fifth SONA, according to PNP chief Gen. Jose Melencio Nartatez Jr. "We have a reason to have a valid arrest," Nartatez said, adding that authorities want to prevent troublemakers from disrupting peaceful demonstrators. Nartatez noted that the number of arrests could still increase as police continue to monitor the protests. He also contrasted the situation with the Iglesia ni Cristo gathering which he described as peaceful and orderly. (Video/Manny Tupas) #philippinestar #newsph #sona #pnp #bongbongmarcos
