KORONADAL CITY — Police have identified four towns in South Cotabato as potential hot spots in the coming May 2007 elections due to its history of violence and the emergence of possible political contenders.


Newly-installed South Cotabato police director Senior Superintendent Robert Kiunisala told The STAR that the possible hot spot areas in the province are the towns of Tampakan, Polomolok, Surallah and T’boli.


Kiunisala said they considered the towns as "hot spots" due to recorded poll-related violence in previous elections.
