PASIG CITY, (PIA) -- The Philippine National Police (PNP) provides security for 28 public schools in Metro Manila participating in the limited face-to-face classes starting today, December 6.

“The resumption of the face-to-face learning setup is not new anymore for us since other schools have already started this last November. We just have to follow the template and remind our police personnel to strictly limit themselves from going inside school premises unless there is a request for security assistance,” said PNP Chief Police General Dionardo Carlos.

The PNP chief also reminded the students, parents and guardians to still practice minimum health protocols such as wearing of facemask and frequent hand washing.

The 28 public schools in the National Capital Region is part of the 177 public schools nationwide that will participate in the pilot implementation of the limited face-to-face classes.

Likewise, the participating schools have passed the different safety assessment conducted by the Department of Education and Department of Health. (PNP/PIA-NCR)
