AS Western Visayas opens 2026, the numbers speak clearly — and powerfully. A 38.01 percent drop in focus crimes in January alone is neither coincidence nor luck.
It is the result of unwavering dedication, disciplined service and a police force that fully understands its mandate to protect and serve the public.
The men and women of the Police Regional Office 6 have once again proven that tireless work, anchored on professionalism and community trust, delivers real results where it matters most: public safety.
Behind these gains is the steady, credible leadership of PBGen. Josefino D. Ligan.
Under his direction, PRO6 has demonstrated that effective policing is not merely about presence, but about purpose.
Sustained police visibility, intelligence-driven operations and close coordination with local government units and community stakeholders have become defining hallmarks of his command.
More importantly, his personal example has resonated across the ranks, instilling a renewed sense of duty, discipline, and pride in service among officers and personnel alike.
The successful arrest of 250 wanted persons, including all Top 10 Most Wanted individuals in the region, further underscores this record of competence and resolve.
These accomplishments show a police force not merely reacting to crime, but actively shaping a safer environment through focused, relentless law enforcement.
Such results reflect a culture of accountability and perseverance, assuring the public that justice in Western Visayas is neither selective nor delayed.
They are also aligned with the broader vision of PNP chief PGen. Jose Melencio ‘Tatang’ Nartatez Jr, emphasizing professionalism, maximum effort and service excellence across police units nationwide.
PRO6 continues showing the way for safer, stronger communities.
