00:00Four months before the country's election in 2025, some congressmen called for a clean and safe election in the country.
00:09At the same time, some congressmen also discussed the issue regarding the lack of influence of some public officials in the country.
00:18Here is what Mela Lesmorans wrote.
00:21A clean and safe election in the country in 2025.
00:26That is what House Senior Deputy Speaker Aurelio Don Gonzales, Jr. called for regarding the upcoming 2025 midterm elections in the Philippines.
00:35In the continuation of the House Committee on Public Order and Safety, the lack of influence of some public officials in the country was raised.
00:45Gonzales' gait should end now.
00:47In the upcoming election, he hopes that there will be no more violence.
00:53I hope that there will be no bloodshed, no deaths.
00:57I feel sorry for the families, especially our barangay chairmen.
01:02I really want to show respect, not fear.
01:08I want to show respect to our countrymen who voted.
01:13Who should have the right if the election is being discussed?
01:17As for those who faced the hearing, the former spokesperson of the PNP and now headed by the Central Luzon Police Regional Office, Brig. Gen. Gene Fajardo.
01:27He hopes that they will join the Commission on Elections in maintaining peace in the election and continue their initiative.
01:35Our chief PNP and this is already cascaded to our provincial directors to designate official focal person to the opponents in the upcoming election
01:51so that we can put police, so that if both parties are concerned, we can easily take action.
01:58In the plenary session of the Chamber, there is also a call for another ruling on the upcoming election.
02:06I pray that on May 12, 2025, we are successful in providing a secure environment,
02:15ensure free, honest, orderly, peaceful and credible conduct of elections
02:21where every Filipino voter is able to exercise their right to vote freely and without fear.
02:30Other hearings here in the Chamber are also ongoing.
02:34This Tuesday, the House Squad Committee will again discuss illegal drugs, illegal pokos and other extrajudicial killings during the administration.
02:45Congressmen are also expected to continue the other major hearings this week.
