MANILA, Philippines — Gen. Dionardo Carlos, the commander of the Philippine National Police (PNP), and Gen. Andres Centino, the chief of staff of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), announced on Monday that they will investigate apparent examples of escalating election-related violence in Mindanao.

Carlos claimed he had previously been to the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) and General Santos City owing to allegations of an “increase in the strong political rivalry incidents in one week” during the regular flag-raising ceremony in Camp Crame.

“Babalik po kami ni (AFP) chief of staff Centino sa (We will return to) BARMM, Caraga, in Soccksargen, because these are the places where threat groups and private armed organizations are present,” said Centino. So, based on my conversations with Gen. Andres Centino, we want to ensure that the elections are calm,” Carlos continued.

He also stated that the PNP and AFP will convene another command meeting next week to discuss election security arrangements.

“We want to make sure we’re on track and that our efforts are all in keeping with the plan to keep the elections peaceful.” We will assist one another. The PNP head continued, “We should always be part of the corporate aim, not the personal ambition.”

Prepared for Level 1 Alert

Carlos has ordered the National Capital Region Police Office to coordinate with the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority and the Inter-Agency Council for Traffic to streamline traffic law enforcement and ensure smooth passenger limit regulations in a public conveyance by concerned agencies and local government units, with Metro Manila and 38 other areas shifting to Alert Level 1 on Tuesday.

“Even in regions where the Alert Level 1 is in effect, the PNP will continue to enforce minimal public health requirements such as physical separation, personal protection, and crowding restrictions in public spaces,” Carlos stated.

As a result of the easing of limitations on intra-zonal and inter-zonal travel, quarantine check posts in areas under Alert Level 1 have been deactivated, he said.

“However, PNP checkpoints co-located with these quarantine control points will remain operational for law enforcement and anti-criminality operations, as well as the implementation of Comelec’s (Commission on Elections) election gun ban and the employment of unauthorized security forces,” Carlos said.

Other areas under Alert Level 1 include: Abra, Apayao, Baguio City, and Kalinga in the Cordillera Administrative Region; Dagupan City, Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, La Union, and Pangasinan in Region 1 (Ilocos); Batanes, Cagayan, City of Santiago, Isabela, and Quirino in Region 2 (Cagayan Valley); Angeles City, Aurora, Bataan, Bulacan (Bicol).

• Aklan, Bacolod City, Capiz, and Guimaras in Region 6 (Western Visayas); Siquijor in Region 7 (Central Visayas); and Biliran in Region 8 (Visayas) are all on Alert Level 1. (Eastern Visayas).

The following areas in Mindanao are under Alert Level 1: Zamboanga City in Region 9 (Zamboanga Peninsula); Cagayan de Oro City and Camiguin in Region 10 (Northern Mindanao); and Davao City in Region 11 (Northern Mindanao) (Davao).
