The
first batch of Special Action Force (SAF) troops that was assigned to help the
local policemen in its anti-criminality and internal operations in Negros
Oriental has arrived in the province.
Philippine
National Police (PNP) spokesperson Brig. Gen. Bernard Banac told reporters
that, “A part of the SAF
contingent is already there, that is one company or around 60 to 80 members.
They are now in Negros Oriental and additional troops will be deployed.”
Banac
said the PNP maintains its stand that there is no need to the declare martial
law in the province.

"On
the part of the PNP, we continue our enforcement of the law as well as
maintenance of peace and order. For now, everything is going back to normal,
including the situation in Negros Oriental. Our police officers continue to
secure the area but assessment of the local executives may say otherwise,”
Banac said.
“For
now, we cannot say or recommend the declaration of martial law because we know
that we are in control of the situation. The assessment of the political
leaders there, though, maybe different. We are just basing everything on our
data and based on this, we are in control of the situation," he added.
