A legislator has called on the Philippine National Police (PNP) to “exert greater efforts to deter crime,” as he condemned the rece spate of violent incidents that hogged the headlines, the latest of which was about the killing of four people in his district in Montalban, Rizal.
“We are seeing cases of crime being conducted in broad daylight. The police must put a stop to such brazen disregard of the law by criminals,” Rizal Rep. Fidel Nograles said.
Two males and two females were found dead in a vehicle in Balagbag, Brgy. San Isidro in Montalban on Monday morning.
Meanwhile on Sunday, an unidentified suspect shot three people dead in Brgy. Fort Bonifacio in Taguig City.
A man was also reportedly abducted by armed men in a gasoline station in Taal, Batangas. The victim was later found dead in Quezon province.
Nograles said he is looking forward to hearing the plans of the PNP to enforce its mandate of ensuring the people’ safety.
He urged the police to“be mor visible,” and to constantly conduct patrols.
He also said the PNP should constantly work to improve its emergency response time and making emergency hotlines more accessible.
