The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) will enforce a no-sail zone at a portion of the Pasig River near the Malacañang area in Manila during the inauguration of President-elect Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. on June 30. The closure of the Malacañang Restricted Area will be from the Hospicio de San Jose up to Pureza in Santa Mesa, Manila, Lieutenant Commander Michael Encina said Wednesday in a television report. The PCG will issue a notice for affected stakeholders near the presidential palace, as well as deploy floating assets in Manila Bay. Coast Guard Commandant Admiral Artemio Abu, however, said there is no need to declare a no-sail zone in the bay, as they have not yet received any specific threat regarding Marcos' inauguration.
