“We are cooperating with the Commission on Elections, the Armed Forces of the Philippines and other government agencies to ensure the safety of our citizens on election day,” Fajardo said. “The peace of the election is the peace of the nation.”

The Full Alert Status includes the deployment of additional police officers to identified election areas of concern and voting centers in the provinces of Bulacan, Nueva Ecija and Pampanga.
