Regional Peace and Order Council (RPOC) Chairman and San Juan City Mayor Francis Zamora on Wednesday, Dec. 6, said the council will hold a meeting on Thursday, Dec. 7, to discuss the overall peace and security situation in the National Capital Region (NCR) amid the heightened alert status of the Philippine National Police (PNP) for the Christmas season and in the aftermath of the Marawi City school bombing.

During the launch of the national government's latest crime reporting app where San Juan was chosen as the pilot city, Zamora urged the public to be vigilant and cautious of individuals who are acting suspiciously and immediately report them to the police.
"Dito po sa San Juan ay nagbigay na ako ng instructions sa ating kapulisan at ganun na din po sa iba't ibang mga lungsod sa Metro manila kaya kailangan talaga nating magbantay mabuti at siguraduhing kung ano mang mga suspicious activities na nakikita ay mareport agad upang maaksyunan ng mga kapulisan (Here in San Juan, I have already issued instructions to our police force as well as the police forces of the other cities in Metro Manila. It is very important for everyone to be cautious and observant to ensure that any suspicious activities will be reported immediately to the police)," Zamora, who is also the Metro Manila Council (MMC) president, said.
"Hindi biro po ang nangyare sa Marawi City. Sa katunayan ako po ay nalulungkot sapagkat ilang araw lamang po ay dumalaw dito ang mayor mismo ng Marawi City at nakapag usap pa kami kaya nagulat na lang ako sa balita na nangyare nga ito (What happened in Marawi City is not be taken lightly. In fact I am deeply saddened by what transpired there because a few days before, the mayor of Marawi City personally went here to visit me, hence my shock and disbelief when I found out about the incident in the news)," he added.
On Dec. 3, an improvised explosive device (IED) exploded inside the Marawi City campus of the Mindanao State University (MSU) that left four people dead and around 50 others injured.
The mayor assured all Metro Manila residents that the National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) as well as all police forces of the different local government units (LGUs) in the metropolis are doing their best to ensure the safety and peace in the region.
eReport and iReport
The San Juan City local government, together with the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG), Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT), and the Philippine National Police (PNP), inked a memorandum of understanding (MOU) for the pilot testing and launching of the eReport and iReport mobile application system.
The iReport and eReport are a joint project of the DICT and PNP under the eGOvPH superapps, a single operating platform of the government that enables users to avail of frontline services using their mobile device.
The eReport is a customer feedback component where users can submit complaints, reports, concerns, issues about the government as well as report crimes as they happen in their community with just a few clicks in their phones. These reports will then be received via the Law Enforcement Management System or the iReport of PNP.
The app also integrates various government services into a single platform, allowing the public to easily report crimes.
On the other hand, iReport will then forward the report to the nearest patrol officer on duty so they can respond to the crime report in just a few minutes and resolve the incident or hand it over to an investigator. The iReport also tracks and monitors the mobile devices of the patrol officers.
This will also record reports for the provision of statistical data to be used for planning and implementation.
