PNP to declare full alert status from Oct. 28 for BSKE

The PNP will raise their alert status to full alert for the Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan Elections (BSKE), starting Saturday, Oct. 28.

MANILA — The Philippine National Police on Friday said they will raise their alert status to full alert for the Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan Elections , starting Saturday, Oct. 28.

Cotabato City remains under the yellow category, which means there have been previous recorded incidents of election-related and politically-motivated incidents. Police Major Edgar Allan Okubo, PNP's director for Police Community Relations, said the majority of the 250 BSKE candidates who withdrew from the race in Abra Province were gunning for barangay captain and councilor positions. “Base po dun sa pahayag at rekomendasyon ng mga community elders dahil dito po sa Abra at ibang parte po ng Cordillera, malaki po ang boses ng mga elders 'pag sila po ang nagdesisyon, nagsalita sa kanilang mga komunidad," Okubo said.

Acorda reminded policemen to fulfill their duties properly as he emphasized the importance of their role in the election.Cops assigned in areas where teachers refuse to act as Board of Election Inspectors will double as such, Okubo said. As election day nears, the PNP also continues to prepare especially in the countryside to ensure that communist rebels will not disrupt Monday’s voting, Okubo said.
