MANILA, Philippines – Nagsimula na ang paghahanda ng Philippine National Police (PNP) sa seguridad para sa 2025 national at local elections.
“Our commitment is to safeguard the democratic process and ensure that the upcoming elections are conducted in a secure environment,” saad sa pahayag ni PNP chief Police General Rommel Marbil nitong Miyerkules, Hunyo 25.
“By cracking down on illegal firearms, drug syndicates, and armed groups, we aim to protect our citizens and uphold the rule of law,” dagdag pa niya.
Makikipag-ugnayan din ang PNP sa local government units (LGUs) at iba pang law enforcement agencies kasabay ng pagtutok sa mga “hotspots” ng illegal activities.
Daragdagan din ang mga checkpoint at police operations. Hinimok din nito ang publiko na isumbong kung may kahina-hinalang aktibidad.
“Illegal firearms and private armed groups pose a significant threat to public safety and the integrity of our elections. By removing these threats, we are not only ensuring a safer campaign period but also instilling confidence in our electoral system,” ani Marbil.
“We urge the public to cooperate with the authorities by providing information that can help us locate and apprehend those involved in these illegal activities,” dagdag pa niya.
Bukod sa deployment ng 85% ng pwersa nito, magpapadala rin ang PNP ng mas maraming resources at mga pulis sa “election areas of concern.”
