Tasked with ensuring peaceful and orderly national and local elections, the Philippine National Police and Armed Forces of the Philippines have deployed a total of more than 80,000 personnel ahead of the May 9 electoral exercise.
The PNP has already submitted a list of 114 cities and municipalities which are under the red category, or areas of grave concern. Both the police and military have also raised their levels of alertness, ready to intervene in clashes between opposing political groups, or ensure that no terrorist or rebel attacks are launched to disrupt the electoral process.
AFP Spokesperson Col. Ramon Zagala said AFP Chief of Staff Gen. Andres Centino has already issued a directive to unified commands to make sure that no violence will break out in the 15 cities and 105 towns that are under the “red” category. And to further underscore the need to keep the police neutral during the elections, the PNP has reassigned almost 2,000 commanders and policemen who have relatives running for local posts in the areas they were assigned.
