00:00 The full alert status of the 2023 Barangay and SK elections will be raised from the night of the PNP election on Monday.
00:08 The PNP assured that the situation in the country is under control despite the alleged election-related incidents.
00:16 This is the story of Patrick Dejesu.
00:18 In the election areas of concern, there are four categories that are based on the authorities.
00:27 The areas that have no security issues are the green category.
00:30 If there is a suspected election-related incident in the past two elections,
00:36 there is a strong partisan political rivalry and the spread of armed groups, it is placed under the yellow category.
00:43 The orange category is for areas that have serious threats from the Communist terrorist group and other threat groups
00:51 such as the BIFF, Abu Sayyaf, and Maute group.
00:55 The red category is the highest-risk areas that need the additional support of the PNP and AFP.
01:03 These areas may be under the Komelek control.
01:07 Of the 40,000 barangays in the country, more than 300 are under the PNP and Komelek in the red category.
01:14 But it is possible that the numbers will change before the 2023 Barangay and SK elections on Monday.
01:21 In areas of concern, particularly those under Komelek control, we have allocated additional human and logistical resources
01:29 to ensure seamless election process.
01:33 Security measures have been beefed up, including daily risk and threat assessments to preserve peace and order.
01:43 From later tonight, the pool alert status will be increased and the PNP will spread the 187,600 police in the entire province.
01:53 Until today, only 26 were reported as validated election-related incidents.
01:59 Despite this, the PNP said that the situation in the country is still under control.
02:06 Overall, generally, the areas are peaceful except for these isolated incidents.
02:14 We are monitoring together with the Komelek.
02:20 We have a PPC, data sharing agreement. We have a command center from the national, even at the regional level.
02:28 Patrick De Asous for the country.
