House Senior Deputy Speaker Aurelio Gonzales Jr. has called on the Philippine National Police (PNP) to bolster their presence in Pampanga, particularly in his district, following a death threat received by Barangay San Agustin Captain Amando Santos. Gonzales reported the incident to PNP chief Gen. Rommel Marbil, emphasizing the need for heightened security as the midterm elections approach. This appeal comes in the wake of multiple unsolved killings of local officials in the province since 2022. Gonzales stressed the importance of increased police visibility to deter further violence and ensure the safety of both officials and residents.
