The Commission on Elections (COMELEC) is now ready for the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) elections this Monday, August 11 regardless how chaotic the region is.
Comelec Chairman Josemelo said that the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) and PNP are now on full security in ARMM. Last Monday, they had a last minute meeting with the Comelec officials and the PNP on what to guard and to keep an eye on Maguindanao since it is the base for the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF). If ever ther will be chaos on the election day, the Comelec can declare “Failure of Election.”
