MANILA, Philippines — President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. ordered all national government agencies to support the implementation of the 2026 National Crime Prevention Program (NCPP). The President, through Executive Secretary Ralph Recto, signed on May 21 Memorandum Circular (MC) 120, directing all government agencies and instrumentalities and enjoining local government units (LGUs) to assist the National Police Commission (Napolcom) in implementing the crime prevention program. "To ensure the success of the 2026 NCPP, it is necessary for all government agencies and instrumentalities, as well as local government units (LGUs), to support and cooperate in the implementation of the 2026 NCPP," Marcos said in his order. Under MC 120, the Napolcom will lead the implementation of the 2026 NCPP in coordination with Philippine National Police, LGUs, and other partner agencies. "In accordance with their respective mandates, all departments, agencies, bureaus, and offices of the National Government are hereby directed, and all LGUs are hereby encouraged, to support the implementation of the 2026 NCPP, as well as the programs, activities, and projects specified there in," the President said.
