Makati City implements drone ban for ASEAN Summit security

The Makati City government has prohibited all drone operations across the city for the entire month of November 2026. This restriction applies to recreational, commercial, and media-related activities in all barangays and public spaces.

The measure is part of security preparations for the Philippines hosting the 49th Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Summit, scheduled for November 16 to 18 in Metro Manila. The ban aims to ensure the safety of international delegates, foreign heads of state, and the local community during the summit and related activities.
