MANILA, Philippines — Personnel of the National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) on Friday inspected several transport hubs and terminals in Metro Manila to monitor the peace and order situation ahead of Christmas.

NCRPO chief Lt. Col. Jose Melencio Nartatez Jr. led the inspection of several bus and jeepney terminals and train stations in Pasay City, Manila and Quezon City.

Apart from transport hubs, the NCRPO also conducted inspections of other places of convergence, such as churches, markets and malls.

Among the public places NCRPO officials visited include Baclaran Church, Quiapo Church, Quiapo Flea Market and Gateway Mall.
