PNP MOBILIZES 3,337 PERSONNEL AS HABAGAT BATTERS COMMUNITIES

With thousands of families seeking safer ground amid the enhanced Southwest Monsoon or Habagat, the Philippine National Police (PNP) has stepped up its nationwide deployment to help protect communities, support emergency operations, and keep critical areas secure.

As of 6:00 a.m. today, 3,337 police personnel have been deployed across affected areas, including 860 at evacuation centers, 166 for search, rescue and recovery operations, 216 for road clearing and monitoring, and 1,859 to secure vital installations. Another 35 personnel are stationed in vacated areas, while 11,402 personnel under the Reactionary Standby Support Force (RSSF) remain ready for augmentation as the situation develops.

The PNP’s response comes as 517 evacuation centers remain occupied nationwide, sheltering 9,918 families or 34,956 individuals. Police units are also assisting communities affected by flooding, landslides and road disruptions while coordinating with local authorities on emerging needs.

Police personnel are likewise helping address transportation disruptions, with 151 stranded passengers recorded in the latest monitoring. Road and bridge conditions continue to be monitored, with police supporting clearing and traffic management efforts whenever conditions allow.

Chief PNP Police General Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr. said the PNP’s priority is to make sure police assistance reaches people when and where it is needed most.

“Kapag may pamilya na kailangang lumikas, may biyaherong na-stranded, o may kalsadang kailangang buksan, dapat may pulis na handang tumulong. We cannot control the weather, but we can make sure that our response is ready, coordinated, and close to the people,” PGen Nartatez said.

He directed police units to remain closely coordinated with local disaster response authorities and to continuously adjust their deployment based on conditions on the ground.

The sustained deployment reflects the PNP’s Focused Agenda, particularly Enhanced Managing Police Operations, through coordinated and responsive action during emergencies. It also supports the government’s continuing efforts under President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. to strengthen disaster preparedness and protect communities during times of crisis.

As the Habagat continues to affect several areas, the PNP will maintain its presence on the ground and remain ready to assist communities, reinforcing the “Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong Mabilis, Tapat at Nararamdaman” through immediate, coordinated, and people-centered service.
