00:00The PNP will tighten the implementation of checkpoint operations at the start of the campaign for the election of 2025 tomorrow.
00:10More than 400 areas of concern will also be targeted.
00:16From San Juan City, Jun Veneracion is live. Jun?
00:22Mel, at the start of the campaign period for the national candidates,
00:28the PNP will tighten the implementation of checkpoint operations at the start of the campaign for the election of 2025 tomorrow.
00:35It is expected that the PNP will be able to do so, that's why the PNP of Pag-Unawa is already appealing.
00:41The PNP is ready for the start of the campaign period for the national candidates tomorrow.
00:52Today, the PNP's highest officials and field commanders met to check that everything is planned.
00:59As for the checkpoint operations throughout the country,
01:04we don't want to delay longer than necessary the supporters and candidates who are passing through our checkpoints.
01:12But we also would like to appeal to them to respect the people who are passing through our checkpoints.
01:17For the security of everyone, it's just for a while.
01:22More than 403 areas of concern will be targeted to prevent incidents of violence related to the election.
01:30Of course, those areas that are under yellow, orange and red, definitely we will increase our deployments there,
01:39particularly to the so-called high-risk areas.
01:43The campaign against the loose firearms and private arm groups, or the so-called PAGs, continues.
01:49Sen. Viceja is the leader of a private arm group in Central Luzon.
01:54How many people surrendered their firearms?
01:57They don't have a warrant of arrest, that's why they are not under police custody.
02:02But they will continue their investigation,
02:05including a forensic examination of their firearms to find out if it was used in a crime.
02:12Hopefully, before March 31, the other two active private arm groups in Region 7 and Region 9,
02:20plus the five potential armed groups, will have a significant development.
02:30In the location of the checkpoints, just like here in the boundary of Manila and San Juan,
02:35we also need to follow it for a certain period of time,
02:38because it avoids the spread of traffic, especially on the main roads.
02:44Thank you very much, Jun Veneracion.
