President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. thanks the Philippine National Police (PNP) for its effective campaign against crime in maintaining peace and order in the country.
Aniya, in 2017, 295,382 crimes were recorded, down to 207,143 in 2022.
“We brought it down further to 198,617 in the first full year of this administration. Index crimes have gone down threefold in the same period. From 107,899 in 2017 to 38,436 last year," the President added.
“Compared to January to February of last year, there were fewer cases of theft, robbery, carnapping, rape, and physical injury. And we have done it without resorting to legal shortcuts, or short-circuiting the process or acts that subvert the rule of law,” aniya pa.
Nevertheless, Marcos calls on the PNP not to be complacent and maintain its aggressive anti-crime campaign.
“So, let me make this very clear, we should not be content with the current decrease in crime rates. While the statistics can be counted, and crime incidents reduced, even in their diminished state, the disturbance they cause is still immeasurable,” anang Presidente
