Rappler reporter @jairojourno gives a rundown on the points raised by Interior Secretary Benhur Abalos and Justice Secretary Boying Remulla during their joint presser on Thursday, July 21. #RapplerRecap Image
@jairojourno Ayon kay Abalos, malaking problema pa rin ang jail congestion sa Pilipinas. Magbibigay sila ng mechanisms to decongest para masolusyonan ito, halimbawa sa pakikipag-usap sa ibang agencies. #RapplerRecap
Sinabi rin ng DILG chief na hindi sapat ang police investigators sa bansa. Sa ngayon, mayroon lamang tayong mahigit 22,000 police investigators sa bansa. 123 lamang dito ang law graduates. #RapplerRecap

THREAD on security for Marcos' 1st SONA. 21,000 troops to be deployed, biggest contingent since Aquino and Duterte. Most Aquino had was 10,000, and most Duterte had was 15,000. Another rare move, last seen during Arroyo, was declaring Commonwealth a no-rally zone. | via @lianbuan
@lianbuan PNP says it's not overkill, but just being prepared. Protest leader @natoreyes says this makes them look "very insecure." Political Science prof Francisco Magno tells @jairojourno: “A popular president is not supposed to worry too much about protest since people are on his side."
@lianbuan With Commonwealth no-go, protesters apply – but were denied – permit for Batasan road because 1.) protests would obstruct traffic and 2.) Batasan road is not a freedom park. | via @lianbuan
