Authorities have mapped out security measures to prevent potential protests that may mar the two-day concert of controversial singer Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, popularly known as Lady Gaga, at the SM Mall of Asia in Pasay City.
According to Pasay chief of police Senior Supt. Melchor Reyes, they have prepared anti-riot teams to deal with protests and also deployed sufficient personnel to secure the concert venue.
He said he is not discounting the possibility some groups opposing the concert may attempt to disrupt it.
He added that anti-riot policemen have been put on alert since Sunday night.
Lady Gaga arrived in the country Saturday night in preparation for her concert on Monday and Tuesday.
Lady Gaga's concert has gained controversy after a religious conservative group opposed it, claiming some of her songs are anti-Christian.
Among the groups that vowed to hold protest actions are the Bible Mode International founded by former Manila Rep. Benny Abante and Bible Mode Youth Philippines.
