INTENSIFIED PNP DRIVE VS ILLEGAL FI****MS YIELDS 65 GUNS, 8 EXPLOSIVES CONFISCATED

The Philippine National Police (PNP), through the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG), has sustained its nationwide campaign against loose fi****ms and illegal explosives, resulting in the recovery of 65 fi****ms and 8 explosives during a coordinated 15-day enforcement period in the first half of June 2026.

From June 1 to 15, CIDG units implemented a series of lawful operations across various regions, combining search warrant ex*****on and other targeted police actions. These efforts also led to the arrest of 44 individuals and the recovery of multiple high-risk fi****ms, including both light and small arms, which authorities said were immediately taken out of circulation to help prevent potential criminal use.

Field operations conducted in several provinces, including separate successful missions in Negros Occidental and Batangas, highlighted the steady coordination among CIDG regional and provincial units. In these areas, multiple loose fi****ms were recovered in single operations, reflecting the continued focus on proactive enforcement and community safety.

PNP Chief, Police General Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., commended the operating units for their firm but lawful implementation of operations, stressing the importance of sustained efforts against illegal fi****ms in protecting communities.

“Ang bawat nakukuhang ilegal na armas ay katumbas ng mas ligtas na komunidad. Patuloy nating pinapalakas ang ating operasyon upang masiguro na hindi ito magagamit sa anumang gawaing makakasama sa ating mga kababayan,” the Chief PNP said.

He added that these accomplishments support the PNP Focused Agenda under Enhanced Managing Police Operations, which strengthens coordinated and intelligence-driven policing efforts, in line with the broader peace and order direction of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.

The PNP also urged continued public cooperation by reporting information related to illegal fi****ms and other security concerns, noting that community support remains vital in sustaining peace and safety initiatives nationwide.

The organization reaffirmed its commitment to disciplined and responsive policing as it continues to advance its campaign for public safety under the guiding principle of “Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong Mabilis, Tapat at Nararamdaman.”

PNP HOT PURSUIT ENDS IN ARREST OF CHINESE NATIONAL, P105K IN MINERAL ORES SEIZED

The Philippine National Police (PNP), under the leadership of PNP Chief PGEN Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., arrested a 62-year-old Chinese national following a hot pursuit operation after he breached a police checkpoint in Lanao del Norte and was intercepted in Iligan City on June 16, 2026. Authorities also recovered twenty-one sacks of alleged illegally transported mineral ores with an estimated value of Php105,000.00.

The operation began when personnel of the 3rd Mobile Force Platoon, 1st Provincial Mobile Force Company, Lanao del Norte Police Provincial Office flagged down a black pickup truck during a routine checkpoint in Barangay Samburon, Linamon. Instead of complying with inspection procedures, the driver refused to present his driver’s license and the vehicle’s registration documents before fleeing the checkpoint.

Police units immediately initiated a hot pursuit and coordinated with operating units in Iligan City, resulting in the successful interception of the vehicle along Balite Drive Extension in Barangay Suarez. During the inspection, authorities discovered twenty-one sacks of alleged mineral ores weighing approximately 840 kilograms with an estimated market value of Php105,000.00.

The suspect failed to produce any legal documents authorizing the transport of the minerals and was arrested for violation of Section 53 of Republic Act No. 7942, or the Philippine Mining Act of 1995. The confiscated mineral ores were subsequently turned over to the Mines and Geosciences Bureau Regional Office 10 for examination.

“This operation demonstrates that evading a lawful checkpoint will only lead to greater accountability. Our personnel remained focused on enforcing the law and ensuring that illegally transported resources did not reach their destination,” said PGEN Nartatez.

“Hindi kami titigil sa pagpapatupad ng batas. Kapag may paglabag, aasahan ng publiko na kikilos ang PNP,” he added.

The accomplishment supports the PNP Focused Agenda, a strategic framework for organizational transformation designed to make police service more responsive, capable, and accountable. In line with its key priority on Enhanced Managing Police Operations, the PNP continues to strengthen law enforcement through sustained operations that protect the country’s natural resources and uphold public order.

PGEN Nartatez also emphasized that the protection of the nation’s natural resources requires consistent enforcement of the law. “Every successful operation against environmental violations reinforces our commitment to preserving the country’s resources while holding offenders accountable through lawful police action.” He added, “Ang likas na yaman ng bansa ay dapat pangalagaan. Patuloy naming pananagutin ang sinumang lalabag sa batas.”

As the PNP sustains its campaign against environmental and resource-related crimes under the directive of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr., it continues to assure the public of “Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong mabilis, tapat, at nararamdaman.”

OFW NAAKSIDENTE, SINAKLOLOHAN NG ISABELA PULIS

Sa isang ordinaryong umaga sa Alicia, Isabela, naging makabuluhan ang biyahe papasok sa tungkulin ng dalawang pulis matapos nilang matulungan ang isang Overseas Filipino Worker (OFW) na naaksidente sa kalsada.

Sa ilalim ng pamumuno ni PNP Chief PGEN Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., patuloy na pinaiigting ng Philippine National Police ang pagbibigay ng agarang tulong sa mga insidente sa kalsada bilang bahagi ng kanilang tungkulin sa publiko.

Kinilala ang mga pulis na sina PCMS Joanne V. Apostol ng Santiago City Police Office at PCpl Elmer Tomas ng Jones Police Station na kapwa papasok sana sa duty nang mapadaan sa Bypass Road, Brgy. San Fernando, Alicia, Isabela. Agad nilang pinuntahan ang pinangyarihan ng aksidente at tumulong sa OFW at isa pang pasahero na nasugatan habang hinihintay ang mga emergency responder.

Batay sa imbestigasyon, bandang 7:50 ng umaga noong Hunyo 19, 2026, binabagtas ng sasakyan na minamaneho ng isang OFW ang kalsadang patungong hilaga nang mawalan ito ng kontrol sa kurbada. Dahil dito, lumihis ang sasakyan at nahulog sa palayan, dahilan upang magtamo ng minor injuries ang driver at pasahero na agad dinala sa ospital ng mga rumespondeng rescue personnel.

Sa kabuuan, ipinakita ng Santiago City Police Office ang patuloy na kahandaan ng kapulisan na tumulong sa anumang insidente sa kalsada at sa pangangalaga sa kaligtasan ng publiko.

Bilang bahagi ng pinalakas na direksyon ng organisasyon, isinusulong ng PNP ang Focused Agenda na nakatuon sa pagpapahusay ng police operations sa ilalim ng Enhanced Managing Police Operations, na malinaw na naipakita sa mabilis na pagtugon ng kapulisan sa insidenteng ito.

Sa patuloy na pagtupad ng tungkulin ng kapulisan, nananatili ang pangako ng kapulisan sa adbokasiyang “Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong mabilis, tapat, at nararamdaman.”
