A top military officer ordered all troops to remain
nonpartisan during the election period in accordance with the guidance of the
Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces of the Philippines
Major General Rey Leonardo Guerrero, commander of the
Eastern Mindanao Command, said government troops must be objective and focused
on their sworn duty to ensure the safety of residents across the land.
“Soldiers must remain objective and focused on their sworn
duty to the country,” Guerrero said.
He said more soldiers would be deployed in Eastern Mindanao
areas to address the insurgency problem, particularly in the provinces of
Surigao and Agusan and Compostela
Valley
Guerrero confirmed the arrival of an Army battalion in
Tandag, Surigao del Sur and the coming of another battalion in Compostela
Valley as part of the deployment to meet head on the insurgency threats through
peace, development and security operations.
He also said that the military was doubling its effort to
prevent the toppling down of power lines, especially in its areas of
responsibility in order not to disrupt the economic activities of the people.
Guerrero said the Bayanihan Investment Protection Security
Operation was designed to protect all vital installations and facilities
including industries.
He said the move also included the monitoring of the power
lines used in the distribution of electricity to communities.
