ILOILO City remains a peaceful metropolis as the crime rate dropped 66.16 percent, according to City Police Office acting director Senior Supt. The city police recorded a decrease to only 45 crime incidents from October 16 to 22, from 133 crime incidents posted on the same period last year. “The decrease of theft and physical injury under index crime has contributed to a decrease of total incidents,” Biñas noted. Only five theft cases were reported last week, a drop of 70.58 percent from 17 cases during the same period last year. “Some 120 minors were rescued last week and personally, I believe that strict enforcement of the 10 p.m.–4 a.m. curfew somehow greatly contributed to reduction of criminality in city,” Biñas added.
