Statement POLICE GENERAL ARCHIE FRANCISCO F GAMBOA
Chief, Philippine National Police
Virtual Presser | April 21, 2020
Based on the pronouncement today of Cabinet Secretary Karlo Nograles, Spokesperson of Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF), and in accordance with the pronouncement of the President, the PNP will strictly enforce the Enhanced Community Quarantine throughout Luzon in coordination with the Local Government Units particularly in Metro Manila, Region III and CALABARZON; and in localities with high or increasing CV-19 infections.
Foremost, there will be no more warning for ECQ violators-- instead arrest and inquest procedures will be applied to cases of violation of Republic Act No. 11469; Republic Act No. 11332; as well as Article 151 of the Revised Penal Code.
These violations of law carry with it appropriate penalties and fines, but, what will be more burdensome for violators are the tedious judicial process and the implications of a Derogatory Record to their personal criminal profile.
Based on our latest figures on ECQ violators, from March 17 to date, there were 98,986 violators warned, 6,168 fined, 31,363 arrested in which 2,467 are still detained with 24,248 cases filed for a total of 136,517 ECQ violators for the past 35 days of the Enhanced Community Quarantine. During this period there are also 732 persons arrested in hoarding, profiteering and manipulation of prices of basic goods, and 9,419 Public Utility Vehicles drivers apprehended.
I have also authorized the deployment of 12 teams of Special Action Force, totaling 116 personnel to strategic locations, initially within Metro Manila to augment local PNP Units in the intensified enforcement of ECQ starting today.
