BACOLOD CITY, Philippines – In Negros Occidental, the first three days of the local campaign were regarded as having a “fiesta-like” mood, with no adverse incidents reported.

“As far as campaign-related violence goes, I haven’t heard anything.” I was fortunate to attend a few, and they are, without a doubt, a fiesta. All supporters are out in the open, demonstrating their support for their preferred candidates. In a media interview on Monday, Governor Eugenio Jose Lacson said, “We expect to continue that in the coming days of the campaign period.”

The Philippine National Police has selected election watchlist locations in Negros Occidental, according to Lacson.

“However, the majority of these are linked to the armed insurrection. As a candidate, we have no control over this. “In terms of the local campaign, it appears to be performing well,” he remarked.

The province’s election watchlist includes Don Salvador Benedicto, which is listed under Category Yellow; the cities of Silay, Victorias, Himamaylan, Kabankalan, and Sipalay, as well as the municipalities of Binalbagan, Manapla, Cauayan, Hinobaan, Ilog, Isabela, La Castellana, and Toboso, which are all listed under Category Orange.

Escalante City, Calatrava, Moises Padilla, and Candoni are all in Category Red.

Areas under Category Yellow are regarded as areas of concern, or have a history of election-related events in prior elections, the likely use of partisan armed organizations, or the occurrence of politically motivated election-related incidents, and have previously been declared under Comelec oversight.

Category Orange denotes areas of immediate concern, such as those with a serious armed threat, whereas Category Red denotes areas of grave concern, such as those with a combination of Category Yellow factors as well as serious armed threats, which may warrant a motu proprio (stand-alone) declaration of Commission on Elections control.

Meanwhile, Lacson remarked that large crowds at campaign rallies during the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic are “impossible to control” since “the people are already speaking.”

“We just hope there isn’t a surge after the election,” he continued.

As of March 27, the Provincial Incident Management Team reported that Negros Occidental is still on Alert Level 2, but there are only 50 active Covid-19 cases left.
