The Municipality
of Malay may not have any threats of trouble on the coming May Local and
National elections.
However, this would
not stop the Police Force, Commission on Elections, and the Parish Pastoral
Council for Responsible Voting or PPCRV from launching a “Peace Covenant” among
the Town’s candidates.
In an interview
with Inspector Mark Cordero, Chief of Malay Police, he said based on their observations
on the past elections, there were no recorded election related incidents.
For this reason,
he is hoping and or expecting that the Elections in Malay would be peaceful.
In addition, the
Peace Covenant will also include the 19 candidate’s pledge to abide by the laws
and regulations being carried out during elections.
As well as affixing
their signatures as a guarantee that no one will use force and violence against
their fellow candidates and the use of private and armed individuals.
In line with
this, on February 10, three months before the voting, the Peace Covenant will
be conducted and will be held at the St. Joseph Parish in Malay.
Cordero added
that the same method is also being carried out in other towns in the province
for safe and fair election.
