From the Sun Star-Bacolod (Jan 21): Delfin: Army to check five election ‘hotspots’
COLONEL Francisco Delfin, commander of the Army’s 303rd Infantry Brigade, said on Wednesday, January 20, that his troops are giving weight to the statement of Governor Alfredo Marañon Jr. that there are five election hotspots in Negros Occidental.
“We will verify and check that, especially that (the reports) came from the governor,” Delfin said.
Marañon did not identify the five areas, saying the police already know about it.
The Provincial Joint Security Coordinating Center composed of the Commission on Elections, Armed Forces of the Philippines, and Philippine National Police earlier declared that there were no election hotspots in the province. The governor, however, believes there are at least five.
Delfin said he has not discussed the matter with the governor personally.
Meanwhile, Delfin said there was no let-up in the Army's manhunt operation against the New People's Army, especially after a running gun battle on Monday, January 18, between the military and the rebels in Himamaylan City, where a soldier was wounded.
