Maybe they need 500 more instead of just 50…but it’s a start.
“To solve the increasing number of robbery and holdup cases in Makati—particularly in public utility vehicles (PUVs) like passenger jeepneys and taxicabs—the Philippine National Police (PNP) has assigned additional 50 policemen to the area upon the request of the city government,” reports Maricar B. Brizuela in Philippine Daily Inquirer.
Makati police chief Senior Supt. Manuel Lukban said the added policemen “will be deployed to ‘high-risk’ areas to conduct patrols and thwart criminals.”
Lukban was quoted as saying, “For the past three days, we have already apprehended a few of these criminals who are targeting PUV passengers, and we will continue doing so in the coming days.”
