A report on dzXL radio said Metro Manila police Chief Director Roberto Rosales expects the transporting of the election paraphernalia to start April 28. The Metro Manila police will provide security to the Commission on Elections in transporting the paraphernalia from the Comelec warehouse to 743 polling precincts in Metro Manila.
