Speaking at the oath-taking ceremony of star-rank PNP officers in Malacañang, Marcos noted that the number of crimes had gone down to 198,617 in 2023, lower from the 207,143 crimes recorded in 2022, and way lower from the 295,382 crimes in 2017.
In a statement shared on his X (formerly Twitter) account, Marcos said the “despicable act" only strengthens the government’s "resolve to eradicate terrorism from the region and our entire nation."
Marcos issued the statement after the recent announcement of China’s national oil giant China National Offshore Oil Corp. (CNOOC) that it made an oilfield discovery with a volume of 100 million tons in the SCS.
In his arrival statement, Marcos said the signing of several agreements with the two Central European countries and the support from German and Czech government to resume the negotiations for the Free Trade Agreement (FTA) between the European Union (EU) and the Philippines are among the successful outcomes of his trips.
