While the Comelec describes the filing of certificates of candidacy in the BARMM as 'generally peaceful,' incidents of violence have been reported all over the region
GENERAL SANTOS, Philippines – Despite the ongoing gun ban and stricter security protocols, violence and lawlessness have erupted in various parts of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao , leaving residents living in fear just a week into the 90-day election period that has begun nationwide.
Aspiring candidates from 13 barangays in Malabang had to make at least three attempts to reach the local Comelec office to file their respective COCs. In the early hours of Sunday, September 3, gunfire followed by two explosions rocked Purok 1, Barangay Digal, Buluan town, Maguindanao del Sur, injuring a resident.
Except for the nine empty bullet shells found at the crime scene, police investigators are currently without leads regarding Gumama’s murder.
