The government has announced plans to deploy 8,299 police officers ahead of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region’s first parliamentary election on September 14. Twelve people have already been arrested for violating the election-period gun ban.
The government has stated that the murders that have occurred in the region since the start of the year stem from personal disputes rather than the election, but it remains on guard against clashes involving private armies and local power brokers.
