LAOAG CITY—Hundreds of runners from various parts of Ilocos Norte and
nearby provinces joined the fun run on March 9, 2019 from Camp Valentin S. Juan
in this city to the town of Vintar.
Organized by the Ilocos Norte Police Provincial Office (INPPO), Police Maj.
Angelito de Juan of the investigation division said the fun run aims to
advocate peace in the upcoming May mid-term elections.
“This is a friendly run with our allies and the candidates. We hope that we
get rid of hurting and teasing each other during the campaign,” said Mr. De
Juan during the opening program at the INPPO open ground.
The event was among the activities of the INPPO and the Commission on
Elections, which also led the February 7, 2019 interfaith rally and January 13,
2019 walk for unity, to promote orderly and peaceful elections.
Participated in by various multi-sectoral groups, the Philippine National
Police hopes the political candidates and their supporters will uphold the
integrity of the election process and to respect all laws, rules and
regulations.
The police stationed in the 21 towns and two cities of Ilocos Norte are
intensifying police visibility by putting up checkpoints and also reaching out
to netizens to promote their day-to-day programs and activities, which include
“no to vote-buying” campaign.
“Be an intelligent voter. Don’t be fooled by fake promises,” according to
one of the latest Facebook posts of the Ilocos Norte police which has been
liked and shared by netizens.
