Army recommends upgrading of threat classification of 3 Lanao Sur towns
The Philippine Army has recommended to upgrade the threat classification of three towns in Lanao del Sur for the upcoming elections.
Col. Noel Ian Ignes, commander of Task Force Marawi, said the town of Taraka should be upgraded to red from a yellow category following a violent shooting incident; Sultan Dumalondong from orange category to red due to its history of election-related violence; and Lumbayanague from yellow to orange category due to intense political rivalry. The Commission on Elections has classified 18 of Lanao del Sur’s 39 towns, including Marawi City, as red category or “areas of grave concern,” because of their history of shootings, indiscriminate firing, and ballot snatching in the past elections.
