QUEZON CITY (PIA) — The National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) is stepping up its operations across Metro Manila to ensure heightened preparations for the upcoming 49th ASEAN Summit this November.
NCRPO chief Police Brigadier General Christopher N. Abrahano directed all five police districts to sustain heightened police vigilance and maintain regular anti-criminality operations as personnel are mobilized to meet the security requirements for the November 15–18 summit and related activities.
“The ASEAN Summit is a major national responsibility, but it must never come at the expense of the safety of our communities. While we secure our delegates, venues, and routes, we will not take our eyes off the streets, neighborhoods, and business areas where our people live and work. Every police district must ensure that its anti-criminality operations remain active and that no community is left vulnerable because of the summit,” Abrahano said.
Police units are directed to maintain an active presence in residential communities, commercial establishments, business districts, transport terminals, and other public areas through intensified mobile, motorcycle, and foot patrols, he said.
Abrahano also ordered commanders to closely monitor crime patterns and intelligence reports within their respective areas of responsibility to identify locations requiring additional police presence and ensure prompt police response to reported incidents, particularly robbery, theft, street crimes, and other threats to public safety.
The NCRPO chief emphasized that the NCRPO must manage the security requirements of the international gathering alongside its continuing responsibility to protect Metro Manila residents, commuters, workers, and business establishments.
He further directed district commanders to ensure the proper distribution of personnel and operational resources, balancing summit security requirements with the need to sustain police visibility and rapid response capabilities throughout the metropolis.
The NCRPO assured the public that it will continue to deliver regular police services and pursue its anti-criminality campaign across all five police districts in Metro Manila while carrying out its security responsibilities for the ASEAN Summit. (NCRPO/JEG/PIA-NCR)
