The Davao City-based Eastern Mindanao Command (EMC) announced that all its units are now ready to ensure the safe conduct of the coming May 9 elections.

Major Ezra Balagtey, EMC spokesperson, said they will be doing this in coordination with the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) and the Philippine National Police (PNP).

The EMC is tasked to secure Region 10, 11, and 13 and parts of Region 10 and 12.

“On several occasions, inter-agency meetings were conducted between the Armed Forces of the Philippines, PNP and the COMELEC to fine tune election security plans and preparations that will create an environment allowing the people in the mentioned regions to cast their votes,” Balagtey added.

Aside from the synchronized troop deployment between the EMC forces and PNP, the readiness requirement includes the activation of election monitoring action centers and quick reaction teams at all levels.

EMC facilities and equipment were also readied for utilization if the COMELEC so requires.
