MALACANANG, Philippines – The Presidential Security Group (PSG) has protocols in ensuring the safety of the President in the event of an earthquake, Communication Secretary Herminio Coloma, Jr. said on Thursday.
“Sa lahat ng pagkakataon ay buong-buo ang kahandaan ng Presidential Security Group na gawin ang tama at nararapat para tiyakin ang kaligtasan ng Pangulo,” he said when asked to reveal the protocols in securing the President during an earthquake.
He however declined to give more details.
“Basta ang mahalaga dito ay ang deklarasyon na mayroong mga nakahandang protocol ang ating Presidential Security Group hinggil sa mga dapat na hakbang na kanilang isasagawa sa takdang panahon,” he added.
When asked if the PSG participated in the Metro Manila-wide “shake drill”, Secretary Coloma said all government offices were enjoined to participate in the exercise, as directed by Memorandum Circular No. 79, signed by Executive Secretary Paquito Ochoa, Jr.
