The Philippine National Police (PNP) has placed precautionary measures for the homecoming of the country’s team from the recently concluded 2024 Paris Olympics.
PNP spokesperson Police Colonel Jean Fajardo on Tuesday said the National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) had been tasked to maintain peace and order for the return of the Philippine Olympic team.
“We are now preparing to give them a heroes’ welcome. So on the part of the PNP, we will make sure to provide an appropriate number of personnel to provide security during the homecoming of our Filipino athletes,” Fajardo said.
The team has departed Dubai and is en route to Manila. Upon arrival, the Filipino Olympians will be received by their families at the Maharlika Airbase before going to Malacañan, where President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos will welcome them.
As announced by the Presidential Communications Office (PCO) on Monday, a 7.7-kilometer motorcade of the Olympic team will traverse the cities of Manila and Pasay on Wednesday afternoon.
The parade will begin just outside the Aliw Theater in Pasay and will pass through Roxas Boulevard, Padre Burgos Avenue, Finance Road, Taft and Quirino Avenues, and Adriatico Street before it ends at Rizal Memorial Sports Complex.
