More than 9,600 violators of local laws and ordinances were apprehended by Police Regional Office 6 (PRO6) in a regionwide enforcement campaign from May 1 to 23, 2026, as authorities intensified police visibility and public order operations across Western Visayas.
Based on the consolidated report, the most common violations involved traffic code infractions with 4,600 cases, followed by drinking and smoking in public places with 2,750 violations, minors violating curfew hours with 839, and roaming the streets without shirts with 521 cases.

Meanwhile, on May 23 alone, PRO6 apprehended 422 violators regionwide, with traffic violations accounting for the highest number at 169, followed by drinking and smoking in public places with 154 cases.
Acting Regional Director, PBGEN RANDULF T TUAรO, emphasized that the intensified campaign is part of the police forceโs commitment to preserving peace and promoting public discipline through visible and responsive policing.
โAng pagpapatupad ng mga lokal na ordinansa ay hindi lamang tungkol sa paghuli ng mga lumalabag. Ito ay pagpapaalala sa bawat isa na may responsibilidad tayong panatilihing ligtas, maayos, at disiplinado ang ating mga komunidad,โ PBGEN TUAรO said.
He added that police presence and consistent enforcement play a vital role in preventing disorder and strengthening public trust in law enforcement.
โThrough sustained police operations and community cooperation, we can create safer public spaces and reinforce respect for the law. Our goal is to ensure that every community in Western Visayas feels secure and protected,โ he said.
PBGEN TUAรO further stressed that the initiative is anchored on his leadership mantra of โResponsive, Trusted, and Transformative Policing for a Safer Western Visayas,โ highlighting PRO6โs commitment to professional, community-oriented, and service-driven policing in support of the PNP Focus Agenda under the vision of โBagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong Mabilis, Tapat at Nararamdamanโ under the leadership of PNP Chief, POLICE GENERAL JOSE MELENCIO C. NARTATEZ JR.
โHindi lang ito simpleng law enforcement campaign. Ito ay bahagi ng mas malawak nating layunin na mailapit ang serbisyo ng pulisya sa mamamayan at mapalakas ang tiwala ng publiko sa ating kapulisan,โ PBGEN TUAรO added.
He also urged the public to continue observing local ordinances and cooperate with authorities in sustaining peace and order across Western Visayas.
