SEN. FRANCIS PANGILINAN'S STATEMENT ON PROCLAMATION ON STATE OF NATIONAL EMERGENCY DUE TO 'LAWLESS VIOLENCE'

We recognize that the President has intelligence information that we do not possess that gives him a better sense of the law and order situation nationwide which we assume guided him in his decision to make such a declaration.

We would like to be clarified however regarding the actual state of criminality and lawlessness in the country considering that only last week the Philippine National Police had said that crime had in fact gone down by almost half or 49 percent in the first two months after the anti-drug campaign was launched.
