Military alert level in Metro Manila remains at "white" or the lowest possible as it is yet to detect any security threat for the Holy Week.

"(Alert levels) is still at 'white'. It is still normal at the National Capital Region. Area commanders have the say elsewhere in the country based on their existing security situation," Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) spokesperson Brig. Gen.
