“This is down by 46%, which is proof that the QCPD’s crime response and enhanced police presence are effective,” Bumalay said in a mix of Filipino and English.

“All these cases are either cleared or solved,” he added, mostly in Filipino.

Bumalay likewise said that, based on their data, some of the usual cases they handled in schools were qualified theft, robbery, and gender-based sexual harassment.
