PNP to deploy 160K cops nationwide for Eleksyon 2025
The Philippine National Police (PNP) will deploy 163,000 police personnel nationwide to secure Eleksyon 2025.
PNP chief Police General Rommel Marbil announced this readiness during the activation of the Media Action Center (MAC) at Camp Crame, which will serve as a coordination hub.
An additional 38,000 personnel from partner government agencies will support security, traffic, and emergency response operations.
The 'Kontra-Bigay' campaign against vote-buying and election violations begins May 9, with the public encouraged to report incidents via E-911.
The PNP's upgraded E-911 emergency response system will be crucial for promptly addressing election-related emergencies.
Police regional offices will send off personnel to designated polling precincts and areas of concern starting Thursday, May 8.
Marbil reminded personnel that the campaign period ends May 10, followed by a liquor ban on May 11, and stressed remaining apolitical on Election Day, May 12.
