Law Enforcement Agency PRO 7 Maintains High Vigilance
Heyy there! Welcome to the elections coverage in Central Visayas, where things are heating up! With the regional police force on full alert, you can bet your boots that the polls in May will be as secure as a Fort Knox vault.
Brig. Gen. Redrico Maranan, the director of Police Regional Office (PRO) 7, has issued an order for every officer under his command to be ready and present. With this increased alert status, not a single cop will be off duty before or during the elections on May 12.
The PRO 7 team is also working hand-in-glove with the Commission on Elections (Comelec), the Armed Forces of the Philippines, and various other government agencies. They're pooling their knowledge to ensure no threats whatsoever disrupt the voices of the people – our beloved Central Visayas citizens!
As for Cebu City, aces up their sleeve include a minimum of 1,500 police officers who'll be stationed across crucial polling centers and surrounding areas. In fact, the city's entire security structure is well-oiled, with rapid response teams and specialized forces primed and ready to roll out should any incident arise.
As we edge closer to the big day, the public's role becomes increasingly important. It's crucial that anyone who spots anything fishy (say, vote-buying or election disinformation) reports it immediately to the local law enforcement. Don't worry – Cebu City Police Office (CCPO) chief Col. Enrico Figueroa and his squad are ready to respond swiftly to any and all concerns that might arise.
And just in case you're wondering, a few local areas have been designated 'yellow' due to election-related concerns and political tensions. This means that the security measures discussed above are being stepped up even further in places like Cebu City, Mandaue City, Dalaguete, among others. Rest assured, Maranan and his team are busting a gut to ensure order and tranquility throughout the region during the election process.
So, stay safe, Central Visayas, and get ready to cast your votes with confidence!
