PRO3 Regional Director P/ BRig. Gen. Ponce Rogelio I. Peñones Jr. has directed all City and Provincial Directors to sustain police-focused operations and heightened vigilance in line with the PNP Focused Agenda of Acting Chief, PNP P/Lt. Gen.

Beginning December 16, police personnel are strategically deployed at Police Assistance Desks (PADs), places of worship, major thoroughfares, transport hubs, commercial areas, and tourist destinations. Additional deployments will be implemented on December 24 and 31 in designated community fireworks display and firecracker zone areas. The security coverage is reinforced by more than 500 force multipliers, composed of augmented troops from concerned units and advocacy groups, reflecting strong inter-agency coordination and community partnership.
