00:00The State of the Nation address of President Bongbong Marcos is getting ready for the protest.
00:18Let's check how it is live in Quezon City.
00:21We have first news, James Agustin. James?
00:24Susan, good morning. We are just arriving here in this part of Commonwealth Avenue that is surrounded by Old Balarac, Quezon City.
00:34There are several members of Southern Tagalog Village where they will be holding this morning their program that they call State of the Region Address or SORA.
00:44But it is only a few meters from here, Susan, from the Diliman Doctors' Hospital where earlier this morning, the police were already there.
00:52More than 2,000 police were deployed in the area.
00:55Including the Regional Mobile Force Battalion of NCRPO, there are also police from Southern Police District, Manila Police District, Northern Police District, Calabar Zone and Central Luzon.
01:08The MMDA also spread concrete barriers in three lanes of the road.
01:12Only up to there will the protesters be allowed to protest today.
01:16The SABTAS Unit Commander insisted that the police should be given maximum tolerance for all hours.
01:26The observance of human rights and maximum tolerance is what we observe here.
01:32Any instruction that comes from the HIDE Project is what we will follow.
01:36Meanwhile, Susan, they are already marching towards this area of Commonwealth Avenue.
01:47There are several members of Southern Tagalog Village where they will be holding their program that they call SORA.
01:54They came from UP Diliman earlier and they went straight to this area to hold the program this morning.
02:02The traffic on this side of Commonwealth Avenue towards Fairview is still wide in other hours.
02:09That's all for now. From Quezon City, I'm James Agustin for GMA Integrated News.
