Philippines disbands some private armed groups ahead of May 9 election
2022-04-27
[BenarNews] Authorities in the Philippines have disbanded about 20 private gangs working for politicians over concerns about potential poll-related violence ahead of the May 9 general election, the national police said Tuesday.

Most of the disbanded armed groups were from an autonomous Muslim region in the south, where some members of gun-for-hire organizations are known to have links to militants.

 the election commission announced it was taking control in another eight municipalities to directly supervise polling officials and oversee security for the upcoming vote.
