MARAWI CITY, Lanao del Sur, May 6 (PIA) -- The 103rd Infantry Brigade of the Philippine Army will set-up a Provincial Election Monitoring Action Center (PEMAC) in Kampo Ranao, here, to facilitate issues and concerns regarding election-related incidents.
103rd Bde Commander Col. Glenn Macasero said the PEMAC will be manned by personnel from the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), Philippine National Police (PNP), and the Commission on Elections (Comelec).
He said the PEMAC will serve as the central monitoring unit where information relative to the conduct of elections in the province including security coverage can be accessed.
Aside from the AFP, PNP and Comelec personnel, Macasero said a representative from the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) will also be present at the PEMAC.
He said the MILF representative will be a big help to the PEMAC since he can easily coordinate and communicate with their elements in the field.
The 103rd Infantry Brigade is also inviting radio communications groups in the province to set-up a base at the PEMAC.
Macasero said they can assist in the verification of information because they have various members deployed in the ground.
