# Note: data were updated on 18 May 2016 and supersede data published in the Global Study on Homicide 2013
+ In 2009, the Philippine National Police (PNP) has implemented a new crime reporting system wherein crime data for 2009 was set as the baseline for future research, study and comparison. Thus, crime statistics in 2009 cannot be compared with those data obtained in the previous years (2008
and earlier) since the parameters were no longer the same.
