Victor Ferrer Jr., PCL national president, said the endorsement was approved during the national executive officers meeting through PCL provincial federation president Peve Ligan and national vice president for the Visayas Councilor Manuel Sagarbarria, this year's host.

The manifesto of support which will be signed by 60-70 percent of councilors present who belong to the Lakas Party is also expected to be taken up during the national board meeting this year, Ferrer said.

The Negros Oriental PNP Provincial command is now maximizing the Kontra Droga, Kontra Boga and Bilang Boga campaign provincewide, Senior Supt. Augusto Marquez Jr., provincial police director, said. 

He admitted that one of the problems in some areas of Negros Oriental is the presence of loose firearms, some of which are being used for crimes. 

The campaign also aims to issue license to unregistered firearms in the province. In support of the campaign, amnesty for firearms registration will start on October 1 through the FEASAGS office.
