Philippine National Police (PNP) Chief General Rommel Francisco D. Marbil reiterated on Sunday the PNP’s firm commitment to ensuring safe, orderly, and credible elections, emphasizing strict enforcement of the law against any attempts to disrupt the democratic process.

“As we approach the mid-term elections, the PNP remains steadfast in its duty to uphold peace and security. Any actions that incite violence, intimidate voters, or undermine the electoral process will be met with the full force of the law,” Gen. Marbil stated.

To strengthen election security, the PNP launched a 100-day security plan last Wednesday, February 5, 2025 aimed at addressing potential threats, dismantling private armed groups, and maintaining order before, during, and after the elections.

Key measures under this plan include intensified operations against loose firearms and wanted criminals, proactive intelligence monitoring to prevent election-related violence, strategic police deployments in identified election areas of concern, and round-the-clock checkpoints and patrols in high-risk areas.

Gen. Marbil underscored that safeguarding the integrity of the elections is a paramount priority and assured the public that the PNP will remain impartial and proactive in preventing any form of political violence.

“No political ambition should compromise public safety. The PNP will remain vigilant in ensuring that the elections are conducted peacefully, and those who attempt to disrupt this process through violence or intimidation will be held accountable,” he affirmed.
While election security is a top priority, Gen. Marbil assured that the PNP’s broader mandate to combat crime, illegal drugs, and other threats to public safety will continue without letup.
