PNP SEIZES P77-M WORTH OF ALLEGED SMUGGLED CI******ES IN LANAO DEL SUR OPERATION

The Philippine National Police (PNP) scored another significant accomplishment in its campaign against economic crimes after a joint intelligence-driven operation led to the seizure of an estimated ₱77.2 million worth of alleged smuggled ci******es in Picong, Lanao del Sur, on June 15.

The operation resulted in the arrest of 15 adult male suspects who were found allegedly hauling and guarding undocumented cigarette shipments in makeshift storage facilities along the coastal area. Four other individuals identified only through their aliases remain at large, while five minors found at the site were immediately referred to the appropriate social welfare office for proper care and intervention.

Authorities recovered 1,803 master cases and 139 reams of assorted cigarette brands, equivalent to more than 90,000 reams, believed to have entered the country through illegal channels. Also recovered during the operation was an M14 rifle, which is now undergoing appropriate examination as part of the ongoing investigation.

Appropriate charges are being prepared against the arrested suspects for alleged violations of Republic Act No. 7394 (Consumer Act of the Philippines), Republic Act No. 10643 (Graphic Health Warnings Law), and Republic Act No. 12022 (Anti-Agricultural Economic Sabotage Act).

The successful operation forms part of the PNP's Focused Agenda under Enhanced Managing Police Operations, which emphasizes intelligence-based, inter-unit coordination to curb criminal activities affecting public welfare and the country's economy. It also supports the directive of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. to intensify the government's efforts against smuggling and other forms of economic sabotage.

Chief PNP Police General Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr. lauded the operating units for the successful operation and stressed that sustained law enforcement efforts are vital in protecting legitimate businesses and government revenues.

"Malaking bagay ang bawat matagumpay na operasyon laban sa smuggling dahil hindi lang ito usapin ng pagpapatupad ng batas. Pinoprotektahan din natin ang kabuhayan ng mga lehitimong negosyante at ang ekonomiya ng bansa na dapat mapunta sa mga serbisyong kailangan ng ating mga kababayan," PGen Nartatez said.

He also emphasized that all police operations must always be conducted within the bounds of the law.

"Ipagpapatuloy natin ang mga intelligence-driven operations na may mahigpit na koordinasyon sa ating partner agencies. Gagawin natin ito nang propesyonal, may paggalang sa karapatan ng bawat isa, at walang puwang ang sinuman na nais samantalahin ang ating mga batas," he added.

The PNP said follow-up operations are underway to identify other individuals possibly involved in the illegal activity as it continues to uphold Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong Mabilis, Tapat at Nararamdaman.

JOINT PDEA–PNP–BOC OPERATION FOILS ₱60 MILLION WORTH OF ILLEGAL DRUGS HIDDEN IN INBOUND PARCELS

The Ninoy Aquino International Airport Inter-Agency Drug Interdiction Task Group (NAIA-IADITG), composed of the Philippine National Police (PNP), the Bureau of Customs (BOC), and the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA), successfully intercepted fourteen (14) abandoned inbound parcels containing suspected illegal drugs during a coordinated interdiction operation conducted at the Central Mail Exchange Center (CMEC) along Domestic Road, Pasay City, on June 15, 2026.

The operation was driven by intensified intelligence monitoring and cargo profiling efforts at the country’s primary mail screening facility. The parcels originated from multiple international locations, including Thailand, India, United Kingdom, France, United States, and other countries, and were consigned to various individuals across different areas in the Philippines.

Based on initial assessment, authorities recovered approximately 5.4 kilograms of suspected ma*****na kush with a Standard Drug Price (SDP) of ₱8.25 million, around 100,000 milliliters of suspected liquid ma*****na with an SDP of ₱5 million, and nearly 9 kilograms of suspected shabu with an SDP of ₱46.95 million. Additional seized items include suspected methylenedioxymethamphetamine (M**A) tablets, commonly known as ecstasy, o***m poppy derivatives, and other controlled substances concealed in misdeclared shipments.

The total estimated value of the seized illegal drugs exceeds ₱60 million. The contraband was concealed in ordinary-looking items such as snacks, coffee products, decorative materials, household filters, wooden organizers, toys, and electronic equipment in an apparent attempt to evade detection.

PNP Chief, Police General Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., commended the operating units for the successful interception, underscoring the importance of sustained intelligence-driven operations.

“Hindi tayo titigil sa ganitong operasyon. We are strengthening our border control efforts not only at the street level but more importantly at entry points where illegal drugs attempt to enter the country,” he said.

He added that the accomplishment supports the PNP Focused Agenda under Enhanced Managing Police Operations, strengthening coordination among law enforcement agencies to prevent illegal drugs from reaching communities. He likewise reaffirmed alignment with the directive of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. for a safer and more secure Philippines.

All intercepted parcels were turned over to the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency for laboratory examination and proper disposition, while follow-up investigations are ongoing to determine possible networks behind the attempted shipment.

“This operation shows that our security systems are actively working. Tuloy-tuloy ang ating pagbabantay mula ports hanggang communities. The PNP remains firm in its duty to protect the public,” PGen Nartatez added.

This accomplishment reflects the continued operational thrust of the PNP in line with Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong Mabilis, Tapat at Nararamdaman, reinforcing a stronger national campaign against the entry and proliferation of illegal drugs in the country.

The coordinated manhunt operations were implemented in various parts of the country through the enforcement of warrants of arrest covering violations of Republic Act No. 9262 (Anti-VAWC Act), Republic Act No. 7610 (Special Protection of Children Against Abuse, Exploitation and Discrimination Act), Republic Act No. 11930 (Anti-OSAEC and CSAEM Act), and other related offenses.

Of those accounted for, 30 are listed as Regional Most Wanted Persons, 29 as Provincial Most Wanted Persons, and 7 are classified as City or Municipal Most Wanted Persons. Authorities also noted that 53 of the arrested individuals have no bail recommended for their cases.

Among the significant outcomes of the operations was the arrest of a National Most Wanted Person in Quezon Province facing a charge of Qualified R**e of a Minor, with a corresponding reward of ₱150,000 under existing law enforcement guidelines.

The CIDG credited the successful nationwide implementation to the coordinated efforts of its regional, provincial, and field units, highlighting the sustained focus on tracking down fugitives with outstanding warrants, particularly those involved in crimes against women and children.

PNP Chief, Police General Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., said the latest accomplishment reflects the organization’s firm resolve to ensure accountability and deliver justice to victims.

“Patuloy ang ating operasyon laban sa mga wanted persons, lalo na sa mga kasong may kinalaman sa kababaihan at mga bata. Sa direktiba ni Pangulong Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr., mas pinaigting natin ang ating kampanya para matiyak na ang hustisya ay nararamdaman ng taumbayan,” the Chief PNP said.

He added that these sustained efforts are aligned with the PNP Focused Agenda on Enhanced Managing Police Operations, reinforcing more coordinated, responsive, and results-driven law enforcement across all regions.

The PNP assured the public that its intensified manhunt operations will continue nationwide, with commitment to ensuring that fugitives are held accountable and that communities remain protected. This accomplishment underscores the continuing drive of the organization toward a “Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong Mabilis, Tapat at Nararamdaman,” where police service is swift, honest, and truly felt by the people.
