Naitala ng Philippine National Police (PNP) ang pagbaba ng “focus crimes” na naganap sa buong Pilipinas para sa taong 2025.
Sa ulat na ibinahagi ng PNP noong Sabado, Enero 3, aabot sa 12.4% ang binaba ng mga naturang krimen noong 2025, kumpara sa parehong panahon noong 2024.
“The Philippine National Police (PNP), under the leadership of Acting Chief PNP PLTGEN Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., reported an improved crime environment nationwide in 2025 based on crime incidents recorded from January to December, compared with the same period in 2024. Based on official records from the Directorate for Investigation and Detective Management, Focus Crimes declined by 12.40%, from 40,771 incidents in 2024 to 35,717 in 2025, or 5,054 fewer cases year-on-year,” panimula nila.
Saad pa nila, “Data further reveal that most major crime categories posted significant reductions, led by rape, which registered the highest decrease at 22.68%, dropping from 9,910 cases in 2024 to 7,662 in 2025. This was followed by carnapping of motor vehicles, which declined by 20.18%, from 332 to 265 incidents.”
Bumaba rin daw ang mga kasong may kinalaman sa pagpatay, “physical injury,” at maging sa pagnanakaw.
“Murder cases decreased by 17.80%, from 4,151 to 3,412, while homicide dropped by 14.98%, from 1,268 to 1,078 incidents. Physical Injury cases also went down by 13.98%, declining from 5,593 to 4,811, and robbery fell by 11.87%, from 4,136 to 3,645 cases. Meanwhile, theft recorded a 4.31% decrease, from 13,232 cases in 2024 to 12,662 in 2025,” anang PNP.
“A comparison of two equal 128-day periods in 2025 further shows a sustained downward trend in crime, with incidents decreasing by 11.64 percent, from 13,307 cases recorded between April 19 and August 25 to 11,758 cases from August 26 to December 31, or 1,549 fewer incidents as of January 2, 2026,” dagdag pa nila.
Ayon kay Nartatez, ang pagbaba ng bahagdan ng focus crimes sa bansa ay sumasalamin sa aniya’’ epekto ng focus agenda ng kanilang ahensya.

“Malinaw po sa mga numerong ito na epektibo ang ating PNP Focused Agenda. Ito ay resulta ng mas pinalakas na police presence, mas mabilis na pagtugon, at mas maayos na ugnayan ng pulisya at ng ating mga komunidad,” ani Nartatez.
Giit pa niya, “Ang bawat pagbaba ng kaso ay katumbas ng mas ligtas na komunidad. Pero hindi po tayo titigil dito. Tuloy-tuloy lang ang trabaho.”
Titiyakin naman daw nila na mas paiigitingin pa nila ngayong 2026 ang mga regulasyon at batas, na siyang magpapababa pa sa krimeng lumalaganap sa bansa.
“Sa 2026, mas paiigtingin pa natin ang ating mga hakbang para pigilan ang krimen at siguraduhing mananagot ang mga gumagawa nito,” pagtatapos niya.
