ROXAS CITY, Capiz, March 7 (PIA6) – A peace covenant signing will be conducted by the Capiz Police Provincial Office (CPPO) for candidates in the May 2013 elections of Roxas City, Pan-ay town and the provincial government on March 13 at the Metropolitan Cathedral here.
The activity, in coordination with the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) and Parish Pastoral Council for Responsible Voting (PPCRV), is in line with the Philippine National Police’s (PNP) Safe And Fair Election (SAFE) 2013 campaign.
CPPO Public Information Officer SPO1 Donna B. Asmod said that a holy mass will be conducted prior to the political candidates signing of the covenant before witnesses that include local media practitioners, law enforcement authorities, barangay and COMELEC officials, non-government organizations representatives and criminology students.
“Other municipalities have already conducted the covenant signing in separate occasions,” Asmod noted.
During the program, Capiz police director Senior Supt. Domingo S. Cabillan will read the covenant which stipulates that local candidates will condemn threats, intimidation, use of private armed groups and other illegal activities to advance their respective political interests.
The covenant has been translated in Hiligaynon for a deeper understanding and appreciation of the candidates and Capiceños.
The activity will be graced by Police Regional Office (PRO) – 6 director Chief Supt. Agrimero E. Cruz, Jr. and Philippine Army’s 61st Infantry Batallion Commanding Officer Lt. Col. Cristopher C. Sab-it, Sr. and COMELEC Provincial Election Supervisor lawyer Elizabeth D. Doronila, among others.
The SAFE campaign aims to ensure that the 2013 elections is safe and free of violence.
