MANILA, Philippines — The chief of the Philippine National Police directed all police units Monday to sustain their enhanced visibility and regularly conduct anti-crime patrols to prevent street crimes as the holiday season nears. 

 

In a statement sent to reporters Monday, Police Gen. Guillermo Eleazar said that the PNP is expecting incidents of street crimes to increase during the holiday season. 

 

"I am directing all police units nationwide to sustain enhanced visibility and anti-crime patrols in areas where street criminals are known to frequently strike,” Eleazar said. "We are expecting that lawless elements will be more active now that more of our compatriots are coming out and that Christmas is approaching."
