QUEZON CITY, 2 June (PIA) – The Philippine National Police (PNP) noted that opening of classes yesterday was generally peaceful and orderly in all parts of the country as an estimated 23-million students returned to school for the start of the school year.

PNP Officer-in-Charge Deputy Director General Leonardo A. Espina made the assessment as the National Operations Center located at the PNP National Headquarters in Camp Crame did not monitor any serious untoward incident in the different regions.

“I am personally satisfied with the deployment of troops for police beat patrol and visibility operations in Manila’s University Belt Area, and in school premises elsewhere around the country,” Espina said.

He also reminded Regional and District Directors to maintain vigilance and sustain the same level of intensified police visibility operations in school areas to preclude any untoward incident.

Meanwhile, local DepEd officials and school authorities lauded preventive measures implemented by the PNP to sweep school vicinities of possible street crime activities.
