MANILA – The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) on Tuesday said its contingents will secure heads of delegations for the ASEAN Summit and Related Summits next week.

"It is the mandate of the AFP through the Presidential Security Command (PSC). So, we will be securing each head of delegation as they are in the Philippines for the whole duration of their stay," AFP spokesperson Col. Francel Margareth Padilla said in a press briefing in Camp Aguinaldo, Quezon City.

"We are responsible for their security. We will not leave any stone unturned, we will make sure that they are secured properly during their stay.”

The ASEAN Summit and Related Summits will run from Nov. 16 to 18 in various locations in Metro Manila.

The PSC, formerly known as the Philippine Security Group, is the primary agency concerned in providing close-in security and escort to the President of the Philippines and the immediate family, former presidents of the Philippines, as well as visiting heads of state, and other very important persons.
