00:00I would rather not use this forum to announce that. I think I should talk to them first because the official decision has not been made.

00:13They should hear it. It's here. Whoever it is should hear about it first from me, not through the news.

00:21But yes, we're very clear on what we're going to do next.

00:27Let me clarify the question, Mr. President.

00:30May?

00:31May?

00:34Talking about prison order, security, Mr. President.

00:39What are the chief orders of chief PNP?

00:44Especially if you want to intensify the police visibility in the country.

00:50Well, what will I tell the new chief PNP? The new chief PNP is a very senior officer in the PNP. He knows the situation.

01:05And I will actually tell them, carry on what you are doing.

01:10Because we have very good statistics concerning crime.

01:16And for example, there's a report here, Metro Manila crime rate is down by 23% in six months.

01:26If we are going to look here at the crime result at the national level.

01:32So, 15,156 last year in the period of January 1 to May 16.

01:41And the period from January 1 to May 16 of 2025, it went down from 15,156 to 11,493.

01:53That minus lahat when you make that comparison of January 1 to May 16 of last year to this year.

02:02Everything, murder, homicide, physical injury, robbery, theft, rape, car napping, all went down.

02:09So, they must be doing something right.

02:23So, I think that of all these people in general.

02:28So, nothing, there's all these people in the past year.

02:34But I think they have a lot of things, but if that is, I think it's like the next scene of pause.

02:39And those people in the past year to find something wrong.

02:42So, there is a lot of things that they can do.

02:45So, I'm going to say thank you for your success.

02:48And I do not say, thank you for your success.
