AS much as 300 areas in the country may be declared as “areas of concern” or hotspots for the May 9 polls, according to the Commission on Elections (Comelec).
In a press conference, Comelec Commissioner George Garcia said the PNP and Armed Forces have recommended 300 areas to be declared as “areas of concern.”
“As of today, there are recommendations submitted to us. But there is yet a Comelec resolution formally declaring these as areas of concern,” said Garcia.

“I cannot detail the exact number, but more or less, it is 300 areas nationwide,” he added.
He said they have yet to issue a resolution because Comelec Chairman Saidamen Pangarungan ordered a final verification of the areas listed.
