THE true measure of police leadership is reflected in safer communities, declining crime and the growing confidence of people who feel protected.
These are the standards that PBGen. Randulf Tuaño is steadily meeting in Western Visayas.
Under Tuaño’s leadership, Police Regional Office 6 (PRO6) has produced accomplishments that speak louder than words.
In July 2026, focus crimes across the region dropped by an impressive 38.09 percent compared to the same month last year.
Rape cases posted the biggest decline at 78 percent, while murder, robbery, theft, physical injury and motorcycle carnapping also registered significant decreases.
These numbers translate into fewer victims and safer neighborhoods throughout Western Visayas.
PRO6 also strengthened its campaign against criminality by arresting 306 wanted persons, including 66 Most Wanted Persons.
Police likewise recovered 476 loose firearms and confiscated 85 explosives, preventing these deadly weapons from being used in future crimes.
The sustained operations demonstrate a police force that is proactive, determined and committed to keeping lawbreakers off the streets.
Beyond law enforcement, Tuaño recognizes that public safety includes protecting the environment.
PRO6 arrested 473 violators involved in illegal fishing and illegal logging while seizing more than ₱32 million worth of illegal boats, equipment, lumber and other evidence.
These operations safeguard not only natural resources but also the livelihoods of thousands of families who depend on Western Visayas’ forests and coastal waters.
The accomplishments of PRO6 reflect the kind of leadership that delivers measurable results.
They also reinforce the vision of Philippine National Police Chief PGen. Jose Melencio ‘Tateng’ Nartatez Jr. that policing must be responsive, trusted and transformative.
Under PBGen. Tuaño, that vision is becoming a reality in Western Visayas.
