MANILA, Philippines — Seeking to boost cooperation between the Philippine National Police and the private sector, PNP chief Gen. Nicolas Torre III met with top executives of Metro Pacific Investments Corp. led by business tycoon Manuel V. Pangilinan.

Torre sought to strengthen mutual collaboration between the public and private sectors in areas of security, emergency, response and infrastructure protection.

“The high-level dialog highlighted shared commitments toward enhancing public safety and supporting national development through strategic partnerships,” the PNP said in a statement.

Torre showcased his five-minute response policy in front of Pangilinan and executives from PLDT, Smart and Metro Pacific Tollways during the meeting at the Manila Electric Company (Meralco) main office in Ortigas Center in Pasig last week.

PNP spokesperson Brig. Gen. Jean Fajardo said some of the discussions focused on body-worn cameras (BWC) of police officers.

“The BWC has subscriptions with Smart and PLDT,” Fajardo said.

She added that theft of Meralco cables was also discussed in the meeting.
