SIX towns in Maguindanao and two more areas in Lanao del Sur were placed under Commission on Elections control.
The towns of Buluan, Datu Odin Sinsuat, Datu Piang, Mangudadatu, Pandag and Sultan Kudarat in Maguindanao, and the city of Marawi and Maguing in Lanao del Sur were placed under Comelec control following the recommendation of Philippine National Police, Armed Forces of the Philippines, Comelec Regional Election director Ray Sumalipao, and the Committee on the Ban on Firearms and Security Concerns.
Green refers to areas that do not have security concerns and are generally peaceful and orderly, while yellow are areas of concern, which means that these have a history of election-related incidents in the last elections, possible employment of partisan armed groups, the occurrence of politically motivated election-related incidents and had been previously declared under Comelec control.
Orange, meanwhile, means areas of immediate concern where there is a serious armed threat, while red means areas of grave concern, which exhibit combined factors under the yellow category with serious armed threats that may warrant the motu proprio declaration of Comelec control. In an interview, PNP chief of the directorial staff Lieutenant General Vicente Danao said they are beefing up personnel deployment and enhancing PNP coordination with their military counterparts in areas declared under Comelec control.View CommentsSunStar website welcomes friendly debate, but comments posted on this site do not necessarily reflect the views of the SunStar management and its affiliates.
