And considering this is a 30-hectare compound, kailangan mo talaga ng maraming tao. Hindi mo pwedeng gawin ito na isang dosenang pulis lamang,\u201d President Marcos said.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cI do not see, I think what they are talking about is political na \u2018yan, hindi na totoo \u2018yan,\u201d the President added, referring to critics when asked to react on comments that there was an overkill on the deployment of police officers enforcing the warrant of arrest against Quiboloy.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n When asked to comment on alleged human rights violations committed by the police, President Marcos emphasized that none were committed since all police officers deployed in the area were unarmed.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cYou can ask any human rights advocate, there\u2019s nothing that we did wrong\u2014all the police who entered were unarmed. Not a single firearm was carried, we didn\u2019t use tear gas, we didn\u2019t do anything like that. So, what human rights violation?\u201d the President remarked.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" PRESIDENT Ferdinand R.
