00:00 The candidates for BSKE are in their own circles on the first day of the campaign period.
00:07 Comaleg is aware that they will be classifying the campaign posters that are not in the right size and not in the right place.
00:14 Patrick De Jesus is live in the center of the news.
00:18 Audrey, the campaign period for the Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan Elections or BSKE is about to start.
00:29 Even though it's raining, the weather is good.
00:34 Some of the candidates are already home.
00:39 They also put up posters in the sleep of their supporters.
00:44 The campaign period for Audrey will last 10 days or until October 28.
00:48 That's two days before the election.
00:51 Comaleg also reminded that they will be very strict with the campaign of the candidates
00:56 so that they will be sure that they are following the regulations.
01:01 If you are caught violating the campaign rules,
01:05 you will be charged with filing a petition for disqualification and an election offense that is a criminal case.
01:13 Comaleg will be strict with the vote buying.
01:18 They will also classify the campaign posters that are not in the right size and not in the right place.
01:25 42,000 opposition will fight for the Barangay while 294,000 are for the government.
01:33 This is also the number of SK Chairman and members.
01:37 The Philippine National Police will also be strict with the election checkpoints along with the campaign period and while the election is getting closer.
01:44 The PNP will have maximum tolerance in implementing the campaign rules and election rules.
01:53 If they observe illegal campaigning on the part of the candidates,
02:00 the instruction is to document it and inform Comaleg.
02:05 Comaleg, through their local election officers,
02:09 have the right to send a notice to the candidates who will be violated the election guidelines.
02:19 Once they are sent a notice, the issue of show-cause order will be followed.
02:26 On the part of the PNP, being one of the deputies in Comaleg's agency,
02:31 we will help Comaleg to enforce the guidelines and resolutions pertaining to the election offenses.
02:43 The PNP is ready to provide security but it is limited to the route and venue of the campaign
02:50 to maintain order and not to a particular candidate.
02:55 If the campaign is like this, the PNP cannot join because we know that we should be a non-partisan entity.
03:05 However, there are cases where I will ask any candidate to be secured because there are perceived threats against their lives.
03:16 Then they have to force through their request to Comaleg.
03:19 Audrey, 187,000 policemen are being deployed for the 2023 barangay and sanguniang kabataan elections.
03:30 Meanwhile, 18 validated incidents of election-related incidents or ERIs have been reported.
03:39 Audrey, 12 shooting incidents, 2 kidnappings, 1 grave threat, 1 indiscriminate firing, 1 gun ban violation,
03:48 and 1 police operation that resulted in an armed encounter.
03:52 These ERIs have been reported in Region 4A, Calabarzon, Bicol Region, Bangsamoro, Northern Mindanao,
03:59 Eastern Visayas, Central Visayas, Ilocos Region, and Zamboanga.
04:04 Audrey.
04:05 Okay, Patrick, in my interview earlier with Comaleg, it was said that the evidence against the candidates or the aspirants
04:14 that were given a show-cause order, will they still fight for the campaign?
04:19 Audrey, the show-cause order is to explain to the candidates that they can still campaign
04:33 as long as there is no disqualification case against them.
04:37 This show-cause order, Audrey, initiated by Comaleg, resulted in premature campaigning
04:44 or the campaign before the election period even started.
