00:00 A few days before the Barangay and SK elections,

00:02 the election-related violence continues to increase according to Comelec.

00:07 The authorities are also trying to find a way to avoid the election.

00:14 Louisa Erispe with the report.

00:16 Just four days before the campaign period for the Barangay and SK elections ends,

00:25 Comelec says the fight in the barangay is heating up

00:30 because the possible election-related violence in the country is increasing.

00:36 According to the Commission, there will be 25 election-related incidents.

00:42 Including the incidents of shooting this Sunday in Masbate, Pangasinan, and Cotabato City

00:48 where there were candidates who lost their lives.

00:51 Comelec Chairman George Erwin Garcia said that the Commission is condemning these incidents.

00:58 These kinds of incidents are devastating, especially if we don't have casualties.

01:04 The campaign should not be the reason for people to wish for life.

01:08 The campaign offers its services to our countrymen.

01:12 But if you will get life, it will not be accepted and you will not be forgiven.

01:17 Aside from the election-related incidents,

01:19 Comelec confirmed that there are 250 candidates who withdrew from Abra.

01:25 Comelec will personally visit the area to find out if one of the candidates is under the red category or Comelec control.

01:33 There are 250 candidates who withdrew.

01:35 There are still some candidates who are left.

01:37 It means that the candidates who withdrew are the only ones who are left.

01:40 Therefore, there are still some candidates who are left.

01:42 There is no vacancy.

01:44 There will still be elections and there will still be halal.

01:46 For now, only Negros Oriental and Libon Albay are under Comelec control.

01:52 There are still 246 barangays under the red category.

01:56 Comelec's coordination with PNP, AFP and PCG continues

02:00 to ensure that on the day of the election, there will be no chaos or any obstacle to the vote.

02:06 Meanwhile, while the campaign is heating up,

02:09 Comelec is also getting impatient with the candidates who are still not giving up on the posting of posters

02:18 that do not comply with the correct measurements or the correct location established by the commission.

02:23 That's why Comelec in Pasay City has re-opened its offline backdash

02:27 and all the candidates who were removed from the posters will receive a show-cause order.

02:32 All of those were given a show-cause order, not just by the task force, but also by the individual of our local Comelec.

02:39 So far, the data we are seeing are only representative of the data here in the main office of Comelec.

02:47 The data from our different provinces are not included yet.

02:50 Later on, we will send all of those to file a proper disqualification case.

02:55 Comelec again reminded the candidates to follow the guidelines in the law.

03:00 Because it's not just a disqualification case, but it's possible that their violation will be punished in court.
