The Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan election is generally peaceful.
The AFP said no threat group was able to cause any disruption in the voting process and the several election-related incidents reported weren’t able to prevent our citizens from exercising their right to vote for their preferred barangay officials and youth leaders.
“We came in prepared and fulfilled our task. We thank the COMELEC, Philippine National Police, Philippine Coast Guard, and the Department of Education for this partnership that allowed us to attain our goal of a secured, free and orderly conduct of election,” the AFP said.
The Armed Forces of the Philippines said it will remain vigilant and on alert as we move forward to celebrate another important celebration. We will also sustain our gains in the internal security operations in order to achieve complete victory against the communist and local terrorist groups as we face the challenges in the conduct of territorial defense operations.
The Armed Forces of the Philippines remains resolute in its mission of protecting the Filipino people and securing the State from all kinds of threats, man-made or natural, the statement added.
