Bataan Governor and Regional Peace and Order Council (RPOC) Chairperson Albert Raymond Garcia on Thursday expressed his desire to make Central Luzon the first region in the Philippines to be insurgency-free and drug-free.

“I urge members of the council to collaborate with the Armed Forces of the Philippines and Philippine National Police (PNP) to continue supporting their campaigns,” he said during the 1st Quarter RPOC meeting.

He added that maintaining the peace and order in the region will lead to success of economic zones and rise of business investments.

In that meeting, PNP Regional Operations Division Chief PSSupt. Jesus Rebua disclosed a significant drop in criminality in all seven provinces of Central Luzon in the first two months of 2018 compared to the same period in 2017.

Rebua also stressed the accomplishments of the Provincial Police Offices (PPOs) in their campaign against illegal drugs.

In Bataan, a total of 76 drug personalities were arrested from December 2016 up to February this year.

Bataan PPO recorded zero fatalities during the conduct of 59 drug-related police operations within the period.
