Military unit 12IB mobilized for election security in Iloilo and Capiz provinces, 2025.
🚀 It's time to salute the 12th Infantry (Lick 'Em) Battalion! This badass squad, based out of Calinog, Iloilo, got the party started on May 6, 2025, with a send-off ceremony to embark on their vital role in the 2025 National and Local Elections. They're aiming high, setting their sights on Iloilo and Capiz provinces.
The battalion's mission? Secure the hell out of those regions during the election period. They'll be on the frontlines, keeping peace, preventing chaos, and ensuring that every vote counts. And let's face it—with the Commission on Elections (Comelec) and the Philippine National Police (PNP) having their backs, they've got this election season in the bag!
Fast forward to the training ground. These soldiers went all-out, attending intensive sessions on crowd control, contingency planning, legal orientation, and maintaining a strict neutrality. They even honed their skills in strict non-partisanship—because when it comes to democracy, everyone plays fair.
And let's not forget, service, integrity, and professionalism are their middle names. This is all about preserving and strengthening our precious democracy, so they're ready to bring their A-game to the dance floor of democracy.
So, brush up on your "God Bless America" and "Lick 'Em" battle cries, because these veterans are stepping up to the plate in a big way. Keep an eye on those polls, folks—things are about to get wild in the Philippines! (Leo Solinap/our website Philippines)
