BY all accounts, the first five months of PMGen Anthony A. Aberin’s “AAA Policing” campaign have delivered impressive outcomes, solidifying his position as a transformative leader within the National Capital Region Police Office.
Rooted in the principles of being Able, Active and Allied, Aberin’s strategy has not only reenergized day-to-day police operations but has also reshaped the broader landscape of crime prevention and enforcement across the region.
Under his direction, the NCRPO has adopted a more assertive, coordinated and community-based approach to law enforcement in Metro Manila.
The results speak volumes: more than 6,000 arrests in anti-drug operations, close to 5,000 anti-illegal gambling initiatives successfully executed and over 1,000 illegal firearms confiscated.
These accomplishments go beyond mere numbers. They translate into safer neighborhoods, weakened criminal networks and a growing sense of trust between the public and the police.
What distinguishes Aberin’s leadership is not only the intensity of his campaign but also its deliberate, disciplined and inclusive nature.
Rather than relying on reactive responses to crime, he has pushed for a culture of proactive policing—anticipating threats, engaging with communities and enforcing the law with integrity.
At the center of this transformation is the AAA framework, which has empowered officers to take initiative, remain committed to ethical conduct and align closely with the needs of the people they serve.
It is this balance of strategy and human-centered leadership that has made the campaign remarkably effective.
Aberin’s blueprint offers more than just a crackdown on crime; it presents a sustainable path toward lasting peace and order.
With its tangible successes and replicable principles, Metro Manila is now being seen not just as a region responding to criminality, but as a model for future policing efforts nationwide.
