We recently had an on-cam interview with the lady spokesperson of the PNP Highway Patrol Group, Police Superintendent Elizabeth Velasquez (I understand, the former HPG media officer, Col. Edwin Rey Butacan, who always made himself free for interviews and media info requirements has just been recently promoted and assigned to Baguio City) when we gathered that they have been tapped by the Commission on Elections to form part of Comelec Checkpoints that’ll be put up all over the country to ensure a peaceful and orderly election.
