"With the political climate heating up, our role is critical in ensuring a secure and fair environment for all candidates and the public," Marbil said.

He also directed all police to intensify security operations, especially in traditional election hotspots where tensions often escalate.

The PNP is focusing its efforts on regions historically prone to electionrelated violence, aiming to safeguard public safety during the election period.

Marbil outlined several additional security measures, including increased police visibility, the establishment of checkpoints, and heightened intelligence monitoring in areas of concern.

"We are putting extra attention on regions that have seen heightened activity from armed groups and criminal elements," he said.
