STORY: Philippine security forces based in Manila were blessed and given a send off ceremony on Sunday (November 5), ahead of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) summit this week.
Thousands of police officers, soldiers, firemen gathered at a public park and attended a special church service to grant them safety while securing the Philippine capital and a nearby province during the summit.
ASEAN heads of states will meet and discuss regional issues with dialogue partners, including U.S. President Donald Trump, in Manila and Clark, Pampanga province from November 11 to 16.
Police said more than 59,000 security forces will be deployed to secure foreign delegates and a temporary lockdown of key roads and venues will be enforced.
