00:00 To check the security of this first day of the new year, we will now call live the PNP spokesperson, Police Colonel Gene Pajardo.
00:07 Colonel Pajardo, good morning. Happy New Year.
00:10 Good morning sir Egan and happy new year.
00:13 How is the security of the PNP in the meeting of 2024?
00:19 It became peaceful, sir Egan. Nationwide, we became monitoring in the meeting of the new year.
00:30 Are there any reports that, of course, we should start with indiscriminate firing?
00:34 There are some data that has been added to our data and two of them, the incident of illegal discharge of firearms as of 4 a.m. this morning and two of them happened on December 31.
00:57 It was not the very beginning of the new year. It happened around 1 p.m. and 3 p.m.
01:07 There's no member of the PNP who was involved?
01:11 The one incident, the first one, particularly in Zamboanga, a police officer was involved in which he fired at the back of their vehicle.
01:30 It appears that he was under the influence of liquor and now he's in custody. He was found guilty of reprimanding.
01:40 Will he be automatically dismissed from his service?
01:44 Aside from the criminal case, he will be sent to his admin case and he will be dismissed from his service.
01:57 The work of the PNP is not yet done because tomorrow, we will return to work and go to school.
02:03 How is the security situation in bus terminals? It became peaceful. How is it, Colonel?
02:09 We did not remove, sir Egan, the PNP personnel and enforcement suppliers because we expect that from today and the next days,
02:20 there will be additional return to their homes, particularly here in NCR and nearby provinces, for those who are on vacation.
02:30 That's why our personnel deployed in the main terminal, in the airport and in the pantalans are still there, as well as our canine dogs that are deployed.
02:40 We will continue to monitor them. Probably, until next week, we will be on heightened alert.
02:47 Thank you very much for monitoring our PNP. Until when will this be suspended, Colonel?
02:54 Our full alert status, sir Egan, particularly here in NCR, will continue because the next thing we are monitoring is the translation.
03:06 The translation-related activities started on December 30 and we are expecting this big procession on January 9.
03:14 That's why here in NCR, our full alert status will continue until the major events and festivities related to translation are over.
03:25 Colonel, I will just follow up on the latest policy of our DILG, where the members of the Moro National Liberation Front or Moro Islamic Liberation Front
03:37 will be part of the new recruitment of PNP. How is the transition to that position Colonel?
03:46 That's right sir. Last week, we were appointed. There was a takeout of 294 members, former members of MILF and MLLF.
04:01 The next one was the first 102 members who were appointed last August. These will undergo at least six to one year training, including the field training program.
04:16 We are expecting the new members of the police from the ranks of MILF and MLLF to be the next ones to be appointed to the Moro National Liberation Front.
04:32 Hopefully, we can achieve our lasting peace through the Moro National Liberation Front.
04:40 But they were assigned to Mindanao.
04:43 Yes sir. After their mandatory police basic training, they will be assigned to the Moro region.
04:53 They will be assigned to the Moro region.
04:59 Okay. Thank you very much. Be careful. Happy New Year again.
05:03 PNP spokesperson, Col. Gene Pajardo. Thank you.
05:06 Thank you sir.
