The Regional Peace and Order Council–National Capital Region (RPOC-NCR) approved 16 resolutions during its first-quarter meeting, focusing on preparations for major upcoming events and long-term security planning in Metro Manila.

“We passed 16 resolutions, including preparations for the upcoming ASEAN Summit, security and public safety measures for Holy Week, and the council’s new strategic direction for the next three years,” RPOC-NCR chairperson and Muntinlupa Mayor Ruffy Biazon said.

The RPOC-NCR, which coordinates between national government agencies and local government units, emphasized that these resolutions will guide the council’s efforts to respond to both routine and emerging public safety challenges.

The council also stressed close coordination among national government agencies and local government units to ensure a safe and orderly environment.

“This first meeting is important because it sets the direction for our efforts to maintain peace and order in the region,” Biazon added.

Biazon said the council’s strategic direction over the next three years aims to improve coordination in law enforcement, emergency preparedness and crisis management, ensuring that Metro Manila remains safe during major events and daily operations alike.
