So far, he said he is satisfied with the security plans for the opening of classes, but did not elaborate. "Ang different police districts mine-meeting natin, inaalam natin ang kanilang paghahanda. So far maganda ang kanilang pinapakitang kahandaan," he said. Assistance desks Purisima said they will place parents and students' assistance desks at universities. "Kung may reklamo o kailangan at itawag pansin sa pulis, doon natin idudulog," he said. - VVP, GMA News
