00:00Update to an election official in Sulu, we will discuss with Police Brigadier General Gene Fajardo,

00:08the spokesperson and chief of the Public Information Office of the Philippine National Police.

00:13General Fajardo, good afternoon.

00:16Good afternoon, Ma'am Azek Kaweng and to all the viewers and listeners of your program, good afternoon.

00:24Ma'am, we just asked for an update on the case of an election official in Sulu.

00:29How is the investigation so far?

00:32So far, Ma'am, we are continuing our investigation with respect to the incident involving Atty. Julie.

00:41We also created a special investigation task group on this case.

00:47So far, we have not identified the people who were involved in this case.

00:52But now, we are backtracking CCTV footages that can help us identify and catch the suspects.

01:02Ma'am, Communic Chairman George Garcia said that it is possible that there is a correlation with the 2025 elections.

01:10Is this also the initial assessment of the PNP?

01:14This is one of the angles that we are looking at,

01:17especially based on the initial information provided by Atty. Julie.

01:24She has election cases under her control.

01:27This is one of the possibilities that we are looking at,

01:31that there is a correlation with the alleged murder of her brother.

01:36So this is one of the things that we are investigating.

01:41It is also possible that Comelec put Sulu under their control,

01:46considering this as an area of concern.

01:49What can you say about this, Ma'am?

01:51This is also part of our investigation, Ma'am.

01:55In fact, this is our initial data when it comes to our potential election areas of concern.

02:01The province of Sulu is in the yellow category

02:06because in our previous election period, we have recorded suspected election-related incidents.

02:14For the current election year, we have possible and intense political rivalries.

02:22So this is one of the areas that we are looking at.

02:26General, what are the factors to consider to consider this as an area of concern?

02:32We have four categories that Comelec will issue pursuant to the resolution.

02:39We have the green category or areas with no security concern.

02:44The yellow category is what we call election areas of concern.

02:48If there are suspected election-related incidents in the last two elections,

02:56provided that these incidents do not involve our domestic terror groups.

03:03As I said earlier, we are monitoring the existence of intense political rivalries

03:09and the possible employment of partisans in armed groups.

03:13Of course, the possibility that we have politically motivated election-related incidents in the current election period.

03:21Of course, this area was previously under Comelec control.

03:27The next color category is what we call election areas of immediate concern or the orange category,

03:34where the parameters are one or two factors under category yellow are present in the area.

03:42There is a serious threat from local terrorist groups and communist terrorist groups.

03:50Of course, in the red category or areas of grave concern,

03:54we are monitoring the combination of one or more factors under the orange category.

04:02If a place is included in the red category,

04:06this can be the basis for placing the so-called area under Comelec control.

04:16So ma'am, do we now have identified orange, yellow areas of concern?

04:24Initially ma'am, we have places that we are recommending to be included under the yellow, orange and red categories.

04:34This is happening through the continuous validation of the Joint Security Coordinating Center

04:41that is formed by the PNP, the Armed Forces of the Philippines and the Philippine Coast Guard.

04:46We are submitting this to the regional and provincial Comelec so that they can conduct their own study and validation.

04:56If they have findings, we will submit consolidated data to Comelec and Bank.

05:04Comelec and Bank will issue an official list of election areas of concern for purposes of national and local election for next year.

05:14So for now ma'am, how many election-related violence have been recorded in the country?

05:19For now ma'am, we haven't recorded any election-related incidents

05:24because our counting of election-related incidents will start on January 12.

05:31Even though we have recorded incidents of victimizing elected and appointed government officials,

05:37that is why we are monitoring that for now.

05:40So what are the actions of the PNP to avoid such incidents of violence?

05:45For now ma'am, we are considering the areas that are below the color-coded categories.

05:55For purposes of our security coverage, we are already conducting forward deployment

06:02so that the incidents that we have monitored will not increase,

06:07involving the killing of elected officials.

06:12Our coordination with Comelec will continue as we are under Comelec supervision.

06:19I hope that our candidates and elected officials will avoid the next incidents involving our elected officials.

06:30But so far ma'am, among the incidents that we have recorded,

06:34the number of personal grudges are higher than the number of incidents.

06:40Okay. Message to our countrymen, ma'am.

06:46To our countrymen, please expect that the PNP is committed

06:50so that we can have a safe and peaceful holiday season.

06:56We will continue our coverage until January.

07:01We have big festivities expected in January, particularly the transplantation.

07:06After that, we will go straight to our election period.

07:12We will continue to talk and cooperate with our countrymen

07:18because the security pressures that we have imposed are also for the safety of everyone.

07:24Okay. Thank you very much for your time Police Brigadier General Jean Fajardo,

07:29spokesperson and chief of the Public Information Office of the PNP.

07:33Thank you very much ma'am and have a good afternoon.
