TARLAC CITY — Military
units of the Northern Luzon Command (NolCom) comprised of the Army, Air Force
and Navy vowed to extend assistance to ensure the safe and secure conduct of
the 2022 national and local elections this May.
NolCom commander Lt. Gen. Ernesto Torres Jr. said apart from joint security control centers, the role of the military is to provide area security, adding that government troops will remain non-partisan in the coming polls.
“We will ensure that the Philippine National Police is supported in crowd management and we will respond to any untoward incident that may happen,” Torres said.
He added that NolCom units will assist the PNP and the Commission on Elections in enforcement of gun ban and on manning checkpoints in areas considered as election hot spots.
Torres said they are also guaranteeing safety of candidates campaigning in Regions 1, 2, 3 and Cordillera.
“We are non-partisan, we are apolitical, so anybody who would like to come in are authorized to conduct campaign activities in our area. What we can assure and what we are committed to do is to maintain that these activities will be secured and orderly,” Torres said.
He urged NolCom personnel to vote and to choose the right leaders for the organization and for the country.
“I encourage the soldiers under NolCom to find time to study and probably consult your friends or relatives, so that we can all together, collectively choose the right people who would be supportive of our campaigns,” Torres said.
