Agad na naglabas ng paliwanag at opisyal na pahayag ang Presidential Security Group (PSG), sa pangunguna ni PSG commander Maj. Gen. Nelson Morales, kaugnay ng kritisismong dulot ng paggamit ni Pangulong Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos, Jr. at First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos sa presidential helicopter upang makarating sa concert ng British rock band na "Coldplay" sa Philippine Arena, Bulacan nitong Sabado ng gabi, Enero 20.

Ayon kay Morales, tiniyak lamang daw ng PSG ang seguridad ng Pangulo at Unang Ginang dahil sa dagsa ng mga tao sa concert, na tinatayang umabot sa 40,000 individuals.

“Yesterday, the Philippine Arena experienced an unprecedented influx of 40,000 individuals eagerly attending a concert, resulting in unforeseen traffic complications along the route,” aniya.

“Recognizing that this traffic situation posed a potential threat to the security of our President, the PSG took decisive action by opting for the presidential chopper."

Samantala, maging si Coldplay frontman Chris Martin ay napamura din sa heavy traffic na nasaksihan niya sa concert venue, sa harap mismo ni PBBM.

Ani Chris, "I think we’ve seen some traffic, but I think you have number one in the world, so thank you for making the effort to come through all of that holy sh*t to be here."
