Lt. Gen. Benedict Arevalo, commander of Viscom, said that while peace and order in Negro Oriental is under control, they are taking steps to ensure that the elections in the province will be peaceful.
“Peace and order situation in Negros Oriental remains very much under control. However, we don’t want to take any chances.
