00:00Now in 2024, one of the government's key goals is to strengthen our security.
00:07And the government did not fall for it, because our crime rate is too high.
00:12But that is not the only threat to our country, but the rise of cybercrimes.
00:17For now, let's return to PTV Highlights 2024 with Ryan Lezigas.
00:24Here in Bagong Pilipinas, there is only one thing the police want.
00:29You are safe.
00:31Under Bagong Pilipinas, President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. wants the safety of the public.
00:38One of the orders of President Marcos under the PNP is more police visibility
00:45to stop the spread of various crimes that may endanger the citizens.
00:51The PNP immediately recalibrated their particular deployment in certain areas.
00:58This move of the PNP immediately yielded a reason for the rising crime rate in the country.
01:0513.51% of the index crimes recorded in the country in the first 11 months of 2024.
01:15This means that from more than 35,000 index crimes recorded from January to November of 2023,
01:23it decreased to more than 30,000 this year in the same months.
01:28These petty crimes include robberies, theft, carnapping, and physical abuse.
01:36Focus Crimes recorded a record high of murder, homicide, physical injury, and rape
01:44that reached 60%.
01:46This is our promise and commitment to our country as we undertake the internal and external changes
01:57necessary to improve our services to you.
02:00Expect that your PNP will do its best to safeguard the community it serves.
02:06Cybercrime cases in the country also decreased by 5.75% in the first quarter of the year compared to the first 6 months.
02:15Only more than 3,400 cybercrimes recorded in the country from July to September this year.
02:23This is lower than almost 3,800 recorded in the second quarter of the year
02:29and higher than the first quarter of the year that reached more than 4,000 cases of crime in the country.
02:37It is a big thing that the authorities responded quickly with the help of Revitalize 9-1-1.
02:44In fact, according to PNP Spokesperson, Police Brigadier General Jean Fajardo,
02:48out of the thousands of calls that they received, 99.97% of them responded.
02:58I am Ryan Lizillas and this is Highlights 2024 for the new Philippines.
