00:07But you're going to have to commend the PNP also, because according to the latest survey,
00:11when we reformed all the processes, guidelines, and codes of behavior,
00:16the PNP now enjoys the highest trust rating ever according to OCTA.
00:20I think it's almost 80% trust rating to the police.
00:25So, the cherry-picking that we've seen from a few people,
00:30or three years ago, does not reflect the overall performance of the PNP.
00:34Focus crimes are down, index crimes are down, smuggling is down.
00:40All the major accomplishments of the PNP, and the discipline and the morale of the PNP is higher than itself.

01:08a lot of immigration clause that they have.
01:12Our information is 10 years old,
01:15but we verify it again.
01:17But when we gave the instructions to the President,
01:19formally we will apply for an exhibition treatise to them,
01:24even though there is no formal exhibition treatise between the two countries.
01:32But through the Interpol, we requested a repatriation from Saudi Arabia.
01:37He is the last track to be in the Cordillera region, and we are closing in on him.
