00:00A high-ranking House Solon and close ally of House Speaker Martin Romualdez pleaded
00:05for a peaceful and orderly midterm elections in May all across the country, and the police
00:11spokesperson and Region 3 police director vowed to work even closer with the poll body
00:16in concurrence with the wishes of the Deputy House Speaker.
00:20Likewise, another Solon echoed the same wish in the plenary session that our Mela Lesmoras
00:25covered in this report.
00:29House Senior Deputy Speaker Aurelio Don Gonzales, Jr. is calling for a clean, orderly, and credible
00:352025 midterm elections in the country.
00:38During today's hearing of the House Committee on Public Order and Safety, the senseless
00:42killings of several politicians in the country rank high in the discussion.
00:46Here, Gonzales emphasized how this needs to come to an end.
00:50For the upcoming polls, he hopes no severe incidents of violence will be recorded.
00:55I hope no bloodshed, no deaths, and the families, especially our barangay chairmen, will be
01:04pitied.
01:05I really want respect to emerge, not fear, to let our countrymen choose who is entitled
01:16if the election is discussed.
01:19Also present at the hearing was former PNP spokesperson and now Central Luzon Police
01:24Regional Director Brigadier General Jean Fajardo.
01:27She assured the police is working hand-in-hand with the Commission on Elections to maintain
01:31peace and order.
01:33She also shared that they are also pushing for other initiatives for the elections.
01:37There is also an order from our chief PNP, and this is already cascaded, to our provincial
01:42directors to designate official or focal persons to the opponents here in the upcoming elections
01:53so that we can put police, so that if both parties are concerned, we can easily act.
02:01In today's House plenary session, another lawmaker made a similar call regarding the
02:05upcoming polls.
02:07I pray that on May 12, 2025, we are successful in providing a secure environment, ensure
02:16free, honest, orderly, peaceful, and credible conduct of elections where every Filipino
02:24voter is able to exercise their right to vote freely and without fear.
