• Awaiting deadline 50% Operational Integration

• Awaiting deadline 25% Security Lockdown

  Due to heightened intelligence regarding potential threats, the government imposes a severe security lockdown in key Metro Manila districts days before the summit. This results in the cancellation of traditional Undas cemetery visits in affected areas, causing significant public unrest and logistical challenges for the MMDA's early preparations.

• Awaiting deadline 10% Diplomatic Shift
