00:00Comelec also increased the number of provincial election officers who can coordinate with the PNP
00:05for the possible appointment of police officers who will serve as members of the Electoral Board if necessary.
00:12This is Clint East Van Dutanes of PIA Cordillera with the latest news for the country.
00:19Comelec will continue to coordinate with the various government bodies
00:23so that the May 2025 National and Local Elections can be held safely.
00:28According to Comelec Cordillera Regional Director-Attorney Julius Torres,
00:32everyone is working hard for a peaceful and safe election.
00:36We cannot do this alone.
00:38We need you.
00:39In fact, Comelec does not have any employees.
00:42That's why we have our Electoral Boards from the PNP to hold elections.
00:47But as we say, let's continue to plan.
00:50Let's continue to prepare.
00:52Because as they say, failure to prepare, we are preparing to fail.
00:56The commission also increased the number of provincial election officers who can coordinate with the PNP
01:01for the possible appointment of police officers who will serve as members of the Electoral Board if necessary.
01:07The Police Regional Office Cordillera assured that it will provide additional support to the places
01:13that are in the orange and yellow categories.
01:16Currently, there are three towns in the region that are in the orange category
01:19while seven are in the yellow category.
01:22Most of these places are in the yellow category
01:24which is why the Cordillera Police increased their forces in the province.
01:29Hopefully, what we have increased is the number of security deployments that are needed.
01:35But we do not know that until the election is near.
01:39We will focus on the upcoming elections.
01:43We know that there will be election-related incidents.
01:49Plus, intense political rivalry.
01:52The PNP hopes that there will be no places in the region that will be counted in the red category.
