Ping Lacson Gives Doable Policy to Prevent Violence in Poll Hotspots

Let the Philippine National Police (PNP) or Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) assign security personnel – preferably from the same unit – to opposing political personalities, especially in areas designated as election hotspots.

This was the doable policy suggested by former PNP chief and Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson on minimizing, if not preventing, election-related violence as the campaign season for local officials goes into full swing.

“It may be better to replace the bodyguards of opposing political personalities with personnel from the same unit. Members of the same unit know each other so they will not fight each other,” Lacson said in Filipino Saturday, in an interview on DZRH radio.

“They will secure their principals but will not deliberately fire on each other. This may be practical in election hotspots, instead of candidates individually asking for exemption from the Commission on Elections so they can get their security detail from the PNP or AFP,” he added.

Unang una sa lahat ay kukumustahin ko ang aking mga kababayan dito sa ating minamahal na lalawigan ng Cavite, sampu ng ating mga lokal na opisyal na kapiling natin ngayong hapon. Sana sa pag-uwi natin mamaya pagkatapos ng pagpupulong na ito ay ilayo tayo sa anumang kapahamakan at mananatiling malusog ang ating pangangatawan at ligtas sa anumang karamdaman.

Pangalawa sa lahat, gusto kong pasalamatan kayong lahat sa ating lalawigan dahil sa napakahabang panahon ng inyong pagtangkilik at pagsuporta sa aking serbisyo publiko, mula noong taon 2001 nang una akong pumalaot sa larangan ng pulitika, nandiyan kayo, sumuporta tumangkilik sa akin.

Taong 2004 noong ako ay sumabak sa pangpanguluhan bagama’t ang aking kinakalaban ang makapangyarihang incumbent na pangulo ng Pilipinas, GMA, at isang napaka popular na aktor na FPJ, binigyan nyo pa rin sa akin noon ang pinakamataas na boto dito sa lalawigan ng Cavite.
