The Philippine Army has deployed approximately a thousand troops in the provinces of Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) to bolster security measures for the forthcoming Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan Elections (BSKE) on October 30, 2023.

Transported by Philippine Air Force aircraft from various units across Luzon and Mindanao, our soldiers are entrusted with safeguarding the activities of COMELEC personnel, poll deputies, and other government officials involved in election-related tasks.

They also bear the responsibility of ensuring the availability of transportation assets, communication systems, and equipment necessary for the smooth functioning of the election commission.
