00:00Comelec has already announced the areas of concern for the upcoming elections in May.
00:05Where the authorities will be more vigilant due to the serious threat to security.
00:12Let's find out in Sandra Aguinaldo's coverage.
00:18Three days before the start of the election period,
00:21the Commission on Elections visited the National Election Monitoring Action Center or NEMAC in Camp Kramie.
00:28Here, the situation will be monitored in different parts of the country,
00:32even in voting centers using the latest technology.
00:37Here, Comelec announced the areas of concern for the upcoming elections.
00:41Based on the recommendation of the PNP and AFP,
00:44the areas in the country will be divided into four color categories based on the security situation there.
00:50The Green category is those without security concerns or relatively peaceful.
00:54More than 1,200 places are included here.
00:58Many are in the Calabar Zone.
01:00The Yellow category is in the 188th place.
01:04Most are in the regions of Zamboanga Peninsula and Northern Mindanao.
01:08As for the conditions,
01:10if there are any alleged election-related incidents in the past two election periods,
01:16or if there is an intense partisan political rivalry.
01:20There are 177 areas in the Orange category.
01:24The majority are still in BARM.
01:26As for the conditions,
01:28if there is a serious threat from armed groups,
01:30they will be grouped.
01:32The Red category is the most monitored by the authorities
01:35because these are the areas with the most serious security threats.
01:39Jones and Makunakon in Isabela are included here.
01:42Baleno and Masbate City in Masbate.
01:45Kalinob in Iloilo.
01:46Santa Margarita in Samar.
01:48And 32 places in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao or BARM.
01:53According to Comelec,
01:55this may change as the election approaches.
01:58To our fellow countrymen,
01:59not because you see your area in the Red category,
02:03you should be afraid and move to other areas.
02:05It's not like that.
02:06It just means that you will see more added forces of AFP and PNP.
02:13Sometimes in the Red category,
02:15when the election is near or during the campaign period,
02:19the Red category suddenly becomes Green.
02:21So again,
02:22this is a good indication that our Green is too high
02:25and that our Red category is too low.
02:28It's just the beginning of January 12.
02:31The checkpoint is expected to be in the whole country.
02:33The Philippine Coast Guard will go to Pierre
02:37to prevent the prohibited transport and carrying of firearms.
02:43The AFP and PNP can also prepare in tandem with Comelec
02:49because Comelec is the lead agency for our election period.
02:55The GAN-BAN will also be implemented
02:57and only those with GAN-BAN exemption can carry firearms.
03:02The PNP will also focus on the separation of private armed groups.
03:06We will always be apolitical.
03:08The AFP will sleep in the various activities of Comelec
03:12such as the distribution of election materials
03:14and the protection of Comelec personnel.
03:16The AFP Chief of Staff called for a peaceful vote
03:20for the election of national and local leaders of the country.
03:24Let's use this election
03:27to express our feelings
03:32by voting the right people.
03:35Comelec also announced that after the vote on May 12,
03:38we have to wait until 7 p.m.
03:41before the machines can transmit the results
03:44to avoid the risk of hacking
03:47if there are early machines that can transmit the results.
03:50Comelec also allowed the request of the Department of Social Welfare and Development
03:55to continue to distribute aid during the election period.
03:59But DSWD said it is a responsibility
04:02to ensure that there is no political scene.
04:06For GMA Integrated News, Sandra Aguinaldo for 24 Hours.
