He also said that the 5,000 crowd estimate did not include yet those inside the CCSC.

He also said that no crimes or emergencies were reported to police stations as of past 4 p.m.

Mariano said that 1,000 police officers had been deployed to secure the parade route area where contingents would also perform their street dancing and the CCSC as well.
