The Philippine National Police on Tuesday reported a 31 percent drop in the number of index crimes during peaceful celebration of “Simbang Gabi” in relation to “Paskuhan 2022” all over the country.
The eight focus crimes or index crimes include theft, physical injury, rape, robbery, murder, homicide, motorcycle theft and vehicle theft. “It is with joy to mention that the past 10 days ushering Christmas Day had been generally peaceful throughout the country with no major untoward incident reported by Police Regional Offices. This encompasses the entire period of the 9-day Simbang Gabi or the Novena masses that were similarly peaceful and orderly under the watchful presence of police patrollers,” Azurin said in a news statement.
“To all PNP personnel, I commend you for the relentless effort in maintaining peace and order during this Yuletide Season. May all these efforts be sustained until the celebration of the coming year, 2023,” said Azurin. “To the public, we continue to call on you to avoid using illegal fireworks to make our new year safe,” he said.
In line with this, the PNP chief said that they are also working in cooperation with the Bureau of Fire Protection, Department of Health and other partner agencies to help decrease, if not to eliminate, the number of damaged properties and victims of firecracker-related incidents this new-year celebration.
