00:00 At the first sectoral meeting, President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr. ordered the strengthening and

00:05 improvement of the Philippine National Police cybersecurity systems by further training

00:11 PNP personnel and investing in technology to address cybercrime and cybersecurity.

00:18 President Marcos stressed the need to centralize and standardize all communication systems

00:22 and platforms across the PNP as well.

00:26 The order comes after PNP Chief Police General Benjamin Acorda, Jr. presented an improved

00:33 national crime situation and operational accomplishments of the PNP since the start of the Marcos

00:40 administration.

00:41 The peace and order indicator shows a 10% decrease in crime during the period of July

00:48 2022 to January 2024 compared to the period of December 2020 to June 2022.

00:58 Other areas that continue to be given serious attention are actions against illegal drugs,

01:05 loose firearms, e-sabong and illegal gambling websites, and communist terror groups.

01:11 To tell us more about the Marcos administration's policies and programs in dealing with these

01:16 crimes, we are joined by DILG's Secretary Ben Herabalos, Jr. and PNP Chief Benjamin

01:23 Acorda, Jr.

01:24 "Nandito po ngayon tayong tangalian para ipresenta ang napakagandang performance ng

01:30 Philippine National Police under Ben and Ben Tuloid, ke Benjamin Acorda, Jr.

01:39 So pareho rin kami na initials.

01:41 In any case, siguro mas maganda si chief ng PNP ang magsabi ito sa performance ko ng

01:48 Philippine National Police.

01:49 Chief Ben?"

01:50 "Yes sir.

01:51 Hello.

01:52 As presented earlier this morning before the President and we reported our accomplishments,

02:03 although seemingly nakita natin na nag-improve yung crime statistics, it went down by 10%,

02:10 but as we have said further, these crime statistics, there is a need for us to focus on cybercrime.

02:17 So kailangan nakita natin na medyo tumaas as reported during the last quarter.

02:23 And in line with that, as instructed by our President, we are intensifying, we are capacitating

02:30 our police officers on the ground, especially as of previously, I think cybercrime group

02:40 is only up to the regional level.

02:43 But this time we are training our personnel and our objective is that down to the police

02:49 station level, municipal level, we will have police officers who are trained to handle

02:57 cybercrime or unlawful crime."
