Who holds the primary responsibility for maintaining peace and order within the autonomous regions? The primary responsibility for preserving peace and order within the autonomous regions firmly lies with the local police agencies. These local forces must be meticulously organized, maintained, and closely supervised in strict accordance with applicable national laws. This ensures that the maintenance of daily public safety is handled locally while safely adhering to national policing standards. The specific assignment of peace and order duties to local police is specified in Article X, Section 21, 1987 Philippine Constitution. “SECTION 21. The preservation of peace and order within the regions shall be the responsibility of the local police agencies which shall be organized, maintained, supervised, and utilized in accordance with applicable laws.” 06-Mar-26 About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
