Muntinlupa City Mayor Ruffy Biazon said the local government has turned over eight electric vehicles (EVs) and installed charging stations for the Muntinlupa City Police, part of efforts to increase patrol visibility while reducing fuel expenses.

“Inuna muna natin ang kapulisan dahil gusto nating mas madalas silang nasa kalsada, nagpapatrolya. At kung ikukumpara sa traditional patrol cars, mas efficient ang electric dahil mas tipid, unlimited pa ang ikot," Biazon said.

The mayor also emphasized that the adoption of electric mobility had long been part of the city’s planning, adding that the transition to green technology was already set even before recent international developments.

He explained that police units were prioritized to maximize street patrols and operational efficiency.

The local government is also preparing additional green mobility projects, including electric buses intended as intra-city shuttles.

“Expect more green energy projects. Marami pa tayong naka-line up, kabilang na ang paparating na 4 electric buses na magsisilbing shuttle sa loob ng lungsod," he said.
