On the other hand, Mayor Joy Belmonte said, “Ang ganitong programa ay sumisimbolo ng ating patuloy na pagtutulungan para mapanatili ang kaayusan at kapayapaan ng Quezon City.
She said, Sa aming panig handa ang buong pwersa ng Quezon City Government na suportahan ang QCPD sa inyong misyon na gawing ligtas ang bawat QCitizen at umaasa makakatulog ng mahimbing sa gabi. Umasa po kayo na aming susuportahan ang inyong mga programa para maisakatuparan ang layunin ng pangulong Duterte na maging drug free hindi lamang ang ating Lungsod kundi ang buong Pilipinas.
Kami po ay nakaalalay sa inyo, dahil naniniwala po kami na ang isang anti-drug campaign ay hindi dapat magtatapos sa pag-aresto sa gumagamit ng iligal na droga sinasabayan namin ito ng drug treatment and recovery programs para mabigyan ng pag-asa at bagong buhay ang ating mga naaresto. Isa lamang ito sa ating mga programa na pwede nating pagtulungan, marami pa tayong pwedeng matutunan sa isat isa para sa ikabubuti ng ating Lungsod, isang halimbawa dito ay ang mahusay na pagkontrol sa COVID-19 dahil sa sakripisyo ng ating mga frontliners na kinabibilangan ng ating mga kapulisan ay patuloy na nababawsan ang ating mga kaso. Kailangan namin ang tulong QCPD para matiyak na patuloy na sumusunod ang ating komunidad sa mga health standards. Higit sa lahat, umaasa po kami na patuloy ang pagbaba ng crime rate ng ating Lungsod, ituloy tuloy sana natin ang magandang bunga na ito. Kaisa niyo po kami sa Lokal na Pamahalaan ng QC sa pagtataguyod ng tunay na pagkakaisa ng Pulisya at Mamamayan laban sa kriminalidad at pandemya.
