00:00 187,600 police from the Philippine National Police, more than 100,000 from the Armed Forces of the Philippines,
00:09 30,000 from the Philippine Coast Guard, and almost 500,000 teaching and non-teaching personnel from the Department of Education.
00:18 A total of more than 800,000 people from the so-called government agencies are being deployed to ensure peace and order in the 2023 barangay and the upcoming youth elections.
00:31 The send-off and turnover ceremony was held at Camp Krame.
00:35 In the latest PNP report, the places are at 361, which are below the red category.
00:41 But the deployment is not dependent on categorization because all places are targeted according to the COMELEC.
00:48 It is not dependent on categorization because the categorization of each place and barangay in our country changes every day.
00:58 If you see the increase from 242 to 361, especially in Bangsamoro, there was a sudden increase of 119 barangays that were added there.
01:09 Some were added in Region 8 and some were added in Region 5.
01:12 The provinces of Negros Oriental and Libon Albay were under COMELEC control due to the alleged incidents of violence.
01:21 Among the crimes related to the elections, 22 were validated.
01:26 But it is lower by 45 percent compared to the last 2018 BSKE, even in the last 2022 national elections, which is lower by 18 percent.
01:38 In the preparation, the PNP hopes that the incidents will not increase for exactly one week before the election.
01:47 If it will increase, hopefully it will be less. That's our projection.
01:53 If you're going to compare it with the previous elections, it looks like it will decrease. I hope it will continue.
02:01 The PNP is also monitoring the situation in Abra, where 250 candidates withdrew from their candidature.
02:09 Some of the PNP talked to them.
02:11 There are various reasons. First, there was an agreement between the elders or from among the elders for them to withdraw.
02:21 They might be short on expenses during the campaign period and they might be threatened.
02:34 So these are the various reasons that has yet to be validated.
02:38 Abra is in the yellow category.
02:40 The PNP said that in order to ensure a proper election in the province, the reason for the withdrawal of the candidates is ready to take action,
02:47 especially those who have complained that they have been accepted by the authorities.
