00:00Two places in the areas of concern of the Commission on Elections were removed from the red category.
00:06The number of elections-related violence is also decreasing.
00:09We have first news from Donald Tinggumpo.
00:15Compared to the start of the campaign period in February,
00:18the number of places in the red category or those with serious violations of elections-related violence decreased by two.
00:26It is only at 36 based on the data of COMELEC.
00:29The largest number here is in Lanao del Sur and Maguindanao del Sur,
00:33and some places in Isabela, Masbate, Western Samar, and Negros Oriental.
00:38Some became orange. In fact, some suddenly became green.
00:41This is a product and result of the report submitted by the Regional Joint Security Command Center and the Philippine National Police,
00:54which was now adopted by the Commission on Elections.
00:56Before, they always look at the history of election-related incidents.
01:01But now, they are looking at the latest for the last three months.
01:05What happened? Is there a change in the peace and order situation?
01:12According to COMELEC, the number of elections-related violence is still low compared to the 2019 and 2022 elections.
01:20There is also no place that is recommended to be placed under COMELEC control.
01:25While we were talking to the GPNP, we asked if there is a place that should be placed under COMELEC control.
01:30They said that there is none yet.
01:32And they still haven't found a place to be placed in that category.
01:38We are also here in COMELEC. We haven't found a place yet.
01:41COMELEC will clarify the assessment of the places in COMELEC areas of concern
01:46to find out where the deployment of their personnel and security personnel should be increased.
01:51This can also change, especially at the start of the local campaign period on March 28.
01:57In the COMELEC's end-bank session, one of the resolutions was passed,
02:00the new reclassification of areas of concern and exemptions to the assistance that can be given to the participants of the local campaign period.
02:08The Japanese government turned over satellite communication equipment, firewalls, and other equipment to COMELEC employees,
02:17especially in areas where the signal is poor.
02:20This is done through the United Nations Development Program or UNDP.
02:25This is the first news. Dano Tincunco for GMA Integrated News.
