As the PNP is now on full alert, more police are on holiday patrol.
As part of stepped-up security measures for the holiday season, the Philippine National Police (PNP) is currently on maximum alert.
The goal of the measure, according to PNP head Gen. Rodolfo Azurin Jr.’s statement on Friday, is to ensure that everyone has a meaningful, secure, and joyful holiday season.
All police officers will be on standby and prepared to deploy for the whole alert period. Additionally, all paid time off and holidays will be canceled in favor of stepped-up patrols and checkpoint operations.

As they may also be called upon to offer traffic control, respond to emergencies, and help with crowd management during events, said Azurin, “These police officers play a critical role in preserving order and assisting in the prevention of crime at this time.
