CANDABA - The local police here recently clarified that this town is peaceful and its inclusion in the Commission on Elections (Comelec) watchlist is not accurate.
Supt. Benjamin Medina, town's chief of police in a previous interview said that there is no recorded election related violence in the municipal police stations (MPS) for the past few elections.
"Bineberikapa pa natin yung sinabi nilang shooting incident noong 2007 pero ayon sa mga tao dito ay walang ganun insidente. Mayroon naman tayong nalaman na nagkagitgitan ang dalawang sasakyan gamit sa kampanya dahil masikip ang daan at medyo nagkapikunan lang pero hanggang dun lang," Medina told Sun Star Pampanga.
The police chief stated that as per his observation the people in Candaba are peace loving people who will not resort to any violence even during elections.
"Sa mahigit na tatlong linggong pagkaka assign natin bilang bagong chief of police ay nakita naman nating tahimik ang bayan at mababait ang mga tao. Kaya malabo na magkagulo sa papalapit na halalan," he added.
It can be recalled that at least eight towns and one city in the province have been identified by the regional law enforcement authorities as election hot spots.
Based on the records of the f Regional Special Operations Task Group (RSOTG) included in the list of election hot spots are the towns of Candaba, San Simon, Mexico, Arayat, Sasmuan, Guagua, Magalang, Lubao and Mabalacat City.
