ILOILO CITY (PIA) -- The Police Regional Office (PRO) 6 recently led the launching of “KASIMBAYANAN” or the “Kapulungan ng inyong Pulis, ng inyong Sundalo, ng inyong Bantay Dagat, ng COMELEC, at lahat ng Lingkod Bayan kasama ang Simbahan at Pamayanan” for a Secure, Accurate, Free and Fair Elections (SAFE) 2022 at the PRO6 Grandstand, Camp Gen. Martin Teofilo B Delgado, Iloilo City on February 18, 2022.

It also served as a venue to gather the stakeholders for their public declaration of the pledge of commitment and collaborative effort for a non-partisan and nonviolent election. 

Part of the said activity included the conduct of various symbolic activities which were patterned after the national level launch, such as the lighting of the SAFE candles, pinning of the SAFE 2022 pin and the manifesto signing of the covenant of peace to signify and foster solidarity on achieving the goal of restoring the trust of the citizens in the electoral process.

“Upon hearing all the messages of everyone, I am assured that we can attain an honest, and crime-free election, if we will work as one and in unity, we will achieve this goal. Asahan po ninyo that Police Regional Office 6 is one with you in our pledge to have a secure, accurate, and fair National and Local Elections,” Dongbo said. 

The activity was concluded with benedictions by the religious leaders and the subsequent release of white doves that symbolize hope and peace for the Filipino nation. (AAL/FRG/PIA6)
