PNP, pag-iigtingin patrolya sa gabi dahil sa rotational brownout

Siniguro ng Philippine National Police (PNP) ang paghihigpit ng kanilang pagpatrolya tuwing gabi, kasunod ng nararanasang rotational brownout sa buong bansa.
Sa panayam sa media kay PNP Chief Jose Melencio Nartatez  nitong Biyernes, Mayo 15, 2026, iginiit niyang nakikipag-ugnayan na raw siya sa provincial at regional directors para sa usapin ng kaligtasan tuwing gabi.
“I have already directed all regional and provincial directors to intensify foot and mobile patrols specifically in residential hubs during the scheduled power interruptions at night,” ani Nartatez.
Ayon kay Nartatez, maaari umanong lumaganap ang mga krimeng katulad ng akyat-bahay, lalo na sa gabi na palalalain ng rotational brownouts.
“Darkness must not be an invitation for ‘akyat-bahay’ or street-level crimes. Our personnel are instructed to utilize high-visibility tactics, including the use of blinkers and searchlights, to let the community know that the police are present and vigilant even when the lights are out,” saad ni Nartatez.
