Comelec to release election 'areas of concern' this week
The Commission on Elections (Comelec) is set to announce by Thursday the list of election areas of concern for the upcoming Eleksyon 2022.
Commissioner George Garcia confirmed that the Philippine National Police (PNP) and the Armed Forces of the Philippines have already submitted their color-coded assessments of these areas.
The PNP categorizes areas into four levels: green for generally peaceful, yellow for those with past election-related incidents or intense rivalries, orange for areas with the presence of armed groups that could disrupt elections, and red for areas with the highest level of concern.
Areas classified as yellow and orange are considered to be of concern for the Comelec.
