Abalos issued the call to ensure public safety with militant and left-leaning groups holding protests and crowding the major thoroughfares and secondary roads in past Labor Day celebrations.
“While we support all lawful and peaceful activities in commemoration of Labor Day, we must ensure public safety and peace and order,” Abalos said. “Let us make sure that a sizable security contingent will be fielded particularly in known convergence areas while the policy of maximum tolerance will be strictly observed by police security forces,” Abalos noted.
