talaga lang ha.. Agence France-Presse First Posted 19:51:00 12/24/2010 Filed Under: Crime and Law and Justice, Police MANILA, Philippines―The number of crimes reported in the Philippines in the first 11 months of 2010 fell almost 40 percent compared with the same period last year, the Philippine National Police said Friday. The drop from 459,130 reported crimes last year to 276,872 crimes this year was due to efforts to improve the poorly-equipped force, PNP chief Director General Raul Bacalzo said. "The year 2010 has been a year of trials, triumph and transition in the (national police) but amidst all of these challenges we managed to prove our mettle," a statement quoted Bacalzo as saying. He cited better logistical capabilities, more training, quality improvement efforts and better benefits. The statement did not give a breakdown of the types of crimes reported or say how many were minor or major crimes. The government of President Benigno Aquino III has been under pressure to improve the police force after a hostage debacle in August left eight Hong Kong tourists dead. http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/breakingnews/...down-40-in-2010 |
