MANILA, Philippines—An “evolving security concern,” which was confirmed by various intelligence agencies, has triggered a comprehensive Security Survey and Inspection (SSI) of the entire premises of the Senate starting this Tuesday.
The SSI will be conducted by the Philippine National Police (PNP), according to the latest advisory issued by acting Senate President Sherwin Gatchalian.
According to Gatchalian, the SSI would be carried out “in view of persistent information and intelligence reports relayed by the National Bureau of Investigation, the National Intelligence Coordinating Agency, and other corroborating security assessments confirming an evolving security concern under the context of heightened political tensions, ongoing impeachment proceedings, anticipated mass mobilizations, and the risk of actions that may threaten the security of the senators, officials, and employees, and disrupt, impede, or interfere with Senate operations.”
