Peace and order is a shared responsibilty

PNP REPORTS 26% DROP IN FOCUS CRIMES, MAY 2026 HITS LOWEST LEVEL

The Philippine National Police (PNP) reported a sustained improvement in the country’s crime environment, with focus crime incidents steadily declining over the five-month period from January to May 2026, culminating in the lowest recorded figure in May at 2,149 incidents.

PNP data shows that focus crimes started at 3,094 incidents in January, slightly decreased to 2,832 in February, rose to 3,268 in March, and dropped again to 2,877 in April before falling sharply to 2,149 in May. The overall trend reflects a general improvement in peace and order conditions despite monthly fluctuations, with May marking the most significant drop during the period.

Compared to the same period last year, focus crime incidents in May 2026 were lower by 746 cases or 25.77% from 2,895 incidents, underscoring continued gains in law enforcement efforts and community cooperation nationwide.

Key crime categories also recorded notable decreases. Murder cases went down from 335 to 270, physical injuries dropped from 431 to 279, and r**e cases posted a significant reduction from 763 to 280. Robbery declined from 249 to 233, while theft decreased from 878 to 818. Carnapping of motor vehicles remained unchanged at 14 incidents.

This trend is seen as a result of sustained police visibility, targeted operations, and strengthened coordination with local communities and partner agencies.

PNP Chief, Police General Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., said the downward trend reflects the continued commitment and coordination of police units across the country, while reminding personnel to remain alert and consistent in their duties.

“Maganda po ang ipinapakita ng ating datos, pero hindi ito panahon para magpakampante. Tuloy-tuloy ang ating pagbabantay at paglilingkod sa komunidad para masigurong ramdam ng ating mga kababayan ang kapayapaan sa kanilang paligid,” he said.

He added that the progress is the result of collective efforts of police personnel, local partners, and the public who continue to support law enforcement initiatives.

“Ang tagumpay na ito ay hindi lang para sa PNP kundi para sa lahat ng nakikiisa sa ating layunin na mapanatili ang kapayapaan. Patuloy po tayong magtutulungan para sa mas ligtas na pamayanan,” he added.

The PNP said the sustained decline in focus crimes aligns with its Focused Agenda, particularly under Enhanced Managing Police Operations, which emphasizes proactive deployment, data-driven policing, and strengthened operational response. This is also in line with the public safety direction of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. to ensure safer and more secure communities that support national development.

As the PNP continues to build on these gains, it reaffirmed its commitment to providing a safer environment for all Filipinos, guided by the vision of Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong Mabilis, Tapat at Nararamdaman, where police service remains consistent, responsive, and truly felt on the ground.
