The Philippine National Police (PNP) has finalized its security and public safety preparations under "Oplan Balik-Eskwela" to help ensure a peaceful and orderly opening of classes on Monday, June 8.

The operation aims to help ensure the safety of students, teachers, and parents in more than 46,000 public and private schools across the country as millions of learners return to classrooms for the new academic year.

The deployment forms part of the PNP's continuing efforts to strengthen police visibility, maintain public order, and work closely with local government units, school officials, and community partners during the opening of classes. It also supports the government's goal of providing a safe and secure environment for learners as the new school year begins.

A total of 55,409 security personnel will be mobilized across all regional offices to maintain peace and public safety. This deployment includes 29,864 PNP personnel, 4,161 specialized units, and 21,384 force multipliers from local communities. To provide immediate assistance, the PNP has established 6,163 Police Assistance Desks (PADs) and will sustain a strong presence through 9,562 mobile patrols and 9,895 foot patrols in areas surrounding schools and major transport hubs.

Areas with larger student populations and heavier traffic volume, including the Bicol Region and Metro Manila, are receiving additional operational support to help ensure the smooth conduct of school opening activities.

Chief PNP, Police General Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., commended regional offices for their preparations and close coordination with school administrators and local government units.

"Our goal from day one is to make sure that parents feel secure when they send their children back to school this Monday, June 8," PGen Nartatez said. "Ang laking tulong ng pakikipagtulungan ng komunidad at ng ating force multipliers sa tagumpay na ito. Patunay lang ito na kapag sama-sama tayo, mas ligtas ang ating mga mag-aaral. Hindi natin hahayaang maperwisyo ang pag-aaral ng kabataan, kaya patuloy ang ating pagbabantay sa mga eskwelahan."

This smooth nationwide deployment reflects the organization's steadfast dedication to providing the Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong Mabilis, Tapat at Nararamdaman that the public truly deserves.

Eight individuals were arrested and several stolen vehicles were recovered following a swift police operation in the National Capital Region that stemmed from a robbery incident involving a 20-year-old student in the early hours of June 5.

The victim was deprived of his motorcycle and mobile phone in Marikina City. Through the location-tracking feature of the stolen phone, police were able to trace one of the persons involved in Caloocan City. The recovery of the device led to the immediate arrest of the individual and triggered a series of follow-up operations that uncovered additional stolen vehicles and fi****ms.

The coordinated police action resulted in the recovery of seven motorcycles and two motor vehicles believed to be linked to the case. Authorities also recovered two fi****ms that are now undergoing verification as part of the ongoing investigation.

The accomplishment reflects the Philippine National Police’s continuing efforts to strengthen crime prevention and response under its Focused Agenda, particularly through Enhanced Managing Police Operations. It also supports the administration’s drive under President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. to maintain safer communities through responsive and effective law enforcement.

PNP Chief Police General Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr. commended the operating units for their prompt response and effective coordination that led to the successful operation.

“Ang operasyong ito ay patunay na kapag mabilis ang pagresponde at maayos ang koordinasyon, mas nagiging epektibo ang ating pagtugon sa krimen. Nakita natin dito kung paano nakatulong ang teknolohiya at mahusay na imbestigasyon upang agad na maresolba ang insidente,” said PGen Nartatez.

He added that the recovery of stolen property and the arrest of those allegedly involved demonstrate the PNP’s commitment to protecting the public and preserving peace and order.

“Patuloy nating palalakasin ang ating mga operasyon at sisiguruhing nararamdaman ng ating mga kababayan ang presensya ng pulisya sa kanilang komunidad. Ang kaligtasan ng mamamayan ang nananatiling pangunahing prayoridad ng inyong PNP,” he said.

The PNP continues its investigation to determine possible links of the recovered vehicles and fi****ms to other incidents while sustaining efforts to keep communities safe, in line with the vision of Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong Mabilis, Tapat at Nararamdaman.
