00:00PNP Chief General Rommel Marbil ordered the police to patrol the armed groups.
00:06Now, the 2025 National Day is approaching.
00:10Ryan Lesillas reports.
00:14PNP Chief General Rommel Francisco Marbil ordered the police to guard the movements of the armed groups.
00:22It is possible for them to be used by trusted politicians against their opponents in politics.
00:28While the National Day is approaching,
00:30it is possible to hear heated debates and defeats of the opponents.
00:36That's why the police should also guard the ground.
00:39Because of this, Marbil also ordered the addition of police visibility,
00:44the installation of checkpoints,
00:46and enhanced intelligence monitoring in various places.
00:50We will continue to install strategic checkpoints,
00:55particularly in areas where we have previously monitored intense political rivalries.
01:03Because this could somehow dissuade those who are planning to create chaos in those areas.
01:10PNP Chief General Rommel also ordered the police to be non-partisan.
01:15Meanwhile, PNP Spokesperson, Police Colonel Gene Fajardo said
01:19that they will base the areas that were included in the areas of concern in the 2022, 2023, and 2019 elections.
01:29We have election areas of concern upon validation,
01:33which were confirmed by the government.
01:35As of September 6, we have potential areas of concern.
01:42But we really cannot raise yet the figures right now.
01:45Because this will pass through the validation of the Joint Peace Security Coordinating Council
01:51led by their respective election directors, as well as PNP and AFP.
01:58The National Police ordered the public to be careful and vigilant
02:04and immediately report to the police the movement and people in their respective areas.
02:10Through the help of the community and the police,
02:13the next election will remain silent and safe for the next year.
