Duterte.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is no validated death threat upon the life of PRRD. However, the PNP will always be vigilant and not let its guard down in providing area and perimeter security whenever he is out for speaking engagements, visitations or inspections,\u201d PNP spokesperson, Col. Bernard Banac, told reporters on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>Banac said the threats against the safety and security of the President is inherent to his job, especially now that he is fighting drug syndicates, communist terrorists, and criminals.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is the role of the Presidential Security Group (PSG) to always ensure that security and safety measures are set in place, including the bulletproof glass casing in situations where they are needed most,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday night, the PSG placed a bulletproof glass in front of Duterte\u2019s podium as a security measure during a Partido Demokratiko Pilipino \u2013 Lakas ng Bayan (PDP-Laban) campaign rally in Malabon City.<\/p>\n<p>PSG commander, Brig. Gen.
