Mimaropa starts ‘Kontra Bigay’
Text size
The Police Regional Office (PRO) in the Mimaropa region (4B) on Friday said it will intensify the implementation of the Philippine National Police’s “Kontra Bigay 2.0” campaign to curb poll bribery ahead of the 12 May midterm elections.
PRO-4B chief PBGen. Roger Quesada vowed to bolster the campaign’s enforcement in response to PNP Chief Gen. Rommel Francisco Marbil’s directive on ensuring “clean, honest, and fair” 12 May midterm polls.
“I have directed all police units in Mimaropa to strengthen intelligence monitoring, launch robust public awareness campaigns, and work closely with the Comelec to investigate and address any signs of electoral fraud,” Quesada told reporters in a Viber message.
The Mimaropa region is composed of the provinces of Oriental and Occidental Mindoro, Marinduque, Romblon, and Palawan.
The Kontra Bigay initiative was initially launched in October 2023 for the Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan elections to appeal to the public to take decisive, proactive measures against vote-buying and vote-selling during the election period.
