The National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) says at least four groups have applied for permits to stage rallies in Quezon City during President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.’s fifth State of the Nation Address (SONA) on July 27 at the Batasang Pambansa. Police officials state that they are still finalizing the allotted rally locations based on the permits approved, including considerations related to the number of attendees expected. The NCRPO’s statement focuses on the process of reviewing applications and determining where protests can be held within the permitted areas. Separate reporting also describes the four groups as planning to stage protests for the SONA, with the police continuing to finalize details tied to the permit approvals and crowd estimates. Both outlets present the same core information: multiple organizations are seeking authorization to hold rallies during the event, and the NCRPO is coordinating locations as part of the permitting process.
