Security tight in Palawan for PNoy visit

Police tightened security in Palawan province Wednesday for a visit there by President Benigno Aquino III. Radio dzBB's Palawan affiliate reported Aquino was to arrive in Puerto Princesa City to visit and promote the Underground River there.

Aquino was scheduled to tape an endorsement for the Underground River, the report said. Security forces were deployed at Antonio Bautista Airbase and along the route to the subterranean river. Presidential guards, police and military units had also coordinated to implement security measures for Aquino, the report added. The Aquino administration has been promoting the inclusion of the Underground River in the new Seven Wonders of the World. "We need your text votes so that the Palawan Underground River would be included in the new Seven Wonders," Aquino had said in an earlier entry on his Twitter account. — LBG, GMA News
