MANILA, Philippines — With Metro Manila under strict quarantine rules, the National Capital Region Police Office registered a sharp decline in focus crime cases over the past 14 months, it said Thursday.

 

In a press release, the Philippine National Police said that the latest NCR Crime Statistics recorded a total of 109,079 focus crimes from November 10, 2020, to January 23, 2022. 

 

Strict implementation of pandemic protocols has been a significant aspect of the national government's pandemic response. Security officials have arrested people holding feeding programs and relief drives in the name of enforcing quarantine protocols.
