00:00We will talk to Philippine National Police Spokesperson, Police Brigadier General Gene Fajardo. General Fajardo, good morning.
00:11Good morning sir Ivan.
00:13Jen, how many PNP personnel are deployed in Paliparan and Pantalan terminals today, including families and relatives?
00:24As of yesterday and earlier this afternoon, we have deployed close to 40,000.
00:32At the end of last night, overall, the number is decreasing.
00:40That's why our focus right now is on our major transportation hubs, malls and other establishments, night markets.
00:50We are hoping that those who are still in the Christmas business will buy and go around now.
00:59How is our monitoring of crimes, General?
01:04Usually during this time, there are robberies and thefts. Are we witnessing anything like that right now?
01:11We are monitoring and we are witnessing theft and robbery incidents.
01:18We will compare the data for this year compared to last year, 2023, which is lower.
01:26But the prevalent crimes are still thefts, robberies, and there are also shoplifting.
01:34That's why we continue to remind our countrymen to be careful and make sure that we are alert when we go around and buy.
01:48You mentioned robberies. Do you have any reminders, especially for those who are on vacation and will leave their homes?
01:54Yes. For our countrymen who will leave their homes for vacation, make sure that their homes are secure and before they leave,
02:05make sure that their doors and windows are locked. Don't leave important and expensive items outside their homes,
02:17like bicycles and motorcycles, because it's easy to steal. We will remind them to avoid postponing their itineraries or what we call at-the-moment postponement.
02:28There are many cybercriminals in cyberspace who are looking for victims. If you can't avoid it,
02:38postpone your vacation and at least, stay in your homes.
02:43You also mentioned cybercrime, scams. Are there many of us who are receiving such complaints now?
02:50Yes sir. Our cyberpatrolling is ongoing and we have reported scams. Particularly, we have reported online selling scams.
03:03It's lower than last year, but we are continuously reminding our countrymen, especially during this holiday season, many are offering cheaper online shopping apps
03:16that are unauthorized. Our reminder is to make sure that our transactions are only through authorized and registered online shopping apps.
03:28At least, we have a guarantee that our products will be of high quality. Let's be careful. If we are not sure, if the offer is too good, we will be in doubt.
03:45Police Brigadier General Jin Fajardo, thank you for your time. Thank you.
03:49Thank you sir. Good morning.
03:58I'm Channel Nanjia Mei, Integrated News.
