SIX ARRESTED AS POLICE UNITS JOIN FORCES IN NUEVA ECIJA-LAGUNA ROBBERY CASE

A robbery in Nueva Ecija led to the arrest of six alleged suspects in Laguna just hours later, following a swift, coordinated police response that extended across two regions.

Under the leadership of Police General Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., Chief, Philippine National Police (PNP), police units from Police Regional Offices 3 and 4A successfully apprehended the six individuals on November 11, 2026, in Barangay San Andres, Alaminos, Laguna, in connection with a convenience store robbery in Gapan City, Nueva Ecija, the previous evening.

The arrested individuals were identified by their aliases as “Mark,” 24; “Patrick,” 23; “Gian,” 18; “JM,” 19; “John,” 24; and “James,” 22.

Initial investigation disclosed that the suspects allegedly posed as customers before declaring a hold-up at the convenience store in Barangay Pambuan, threatening and restraining two employees before taking cash, mobile phones, and other valuables. They then fled aboard a white commuter van.

Following the incident report, the Gapan City Police Station requested police assistance, prompting PRO4A to activate its regional alert and coordinate with PRO3. Police units established checkpoints and monitoring operations along possible escape routes, leading to the suspects' apprehension in Laguna.

Recovered during the operation were the white commuter van believed to have been used in the robbery, cash, seven mobile phones, assorted SIM cards, prepaid cards, and other items relevant to the investigation.

Chief PNP Nartatez commended the police units involved for their prompt response and effective coordination, emphasizing that teamwork and shared responsibility are essential in delivering timely results and keeping communities safe.

“Ang ganitong resulta ay bunga ng mabilis na pagtugon, maayos na koordinasyon, at iisang layunin ng ating mga kapulisan. I commend the personnel involved for working together beyond regional boundaries. Let this remind us that when our police units share information and move as one, we can respond more effectively and deliver the service that our communities deserve,” PGen Nartatez said.

The operation reflects the PNP Focused Agenda, particularly Enhanced Managing Police Operations (EMPO), which strengthens police responsiveness, information-sharing, and coordination. It also supports the administration of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. in sustaining peace and order and ensuring safer communities.

The six arrested individuals remain under police custody as investigators complete the necessary documentation and prepare appropriate charges, consistent with due process and the rights of all persons involved.

The PNP continues to strengthen coordinated law enforcement efforts nationwide, delivering on its commitment to Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong Mabilis, Tapat at Nararamdaman.

M**F COMMANDER FALLS IN MAGUINDANAO ARSON CASE

The Philippine National Police (PNP), under the leadership of PNP Chief PGEN Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., arrested an alleged commander of a Moro Islamic Liberation Front (M**F) base command wanted for arson during a manhunt operation in Datu Odin Sinsuat, Maguindanao del Norte, on November 10, 2026.

The arrest was carried out by the CIDG Cotabato City Field Unit, together with its Tracker Team, the 1404th Maneuver Force Company of Regional Mobile Force Battalion 14-A, and the Datu Odin Sinsuat Municipal Police Station, by virtue of a Warrant of Arrest issued by a court in Shariff Aguak, Maguindanao del Sur, on October 2, 2026, with no recommended bail.

Investigation established that on July 2, 2025, the arrested suspect, known by the alias “Kumander,” and 26 other co-accused allegedly set fire to the house and motorcycle of a barangay kagawad in Barangay Linantangan, Shariff Saydona Mustapha, Maguindanao del Sur, reportedly over a land dispute and an alleged clan feud or rido. Following a thorough investigation, CIDG filed arson charges against 16 suspects before the Prosecution Service, which led to the issuance of arrest warrants.

PNP Chief PGEN Nartatez underscored the importance of pursuing individuals wanted for serious criminal offenses, regardless of their affiliations. “Criminal charges must be pursued regardless of the accused person's influence, position, or affiliation. We will see to it that those sought by the courts are located and arrested in accordance with the law.”

He also stressed the importance of accountability and respect for the judicial process. “Ang alitan sa lupa o anumang hindi pagkakaunawaan ay hindi dahilan upang manira ng ari-arian o manakit ng kapwa. May batas na dapat sundin at may pananagutang dapat harapin.”

The operation supports the PNP Focused Agenda, a transformation framework for a more professional and accountable police service, particularly its Enhanced Managing Police Operations priority in pursuing wanted individuals and enforcing arrest warrants.

As the PNP strengthens its campaign against wanted persons and ensures that criminal charges are addressed through the proper judicial process, under the directive of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr., it remains steadfast in its commitment to “Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong Mabilis, Tapat, at Nararamdaman.”

“Serving warrants against wanted individuals is an essential part of our responsibility to uphold the rule of law. We will sustain our efforts to track down fugitives and ensure that they answer for the charges against them,” PGEN Nartatez said.

“Hindi natin hahayaang manatiling banta sa mga komunidad ang mga taong sangkot sa krimen. Sisiguraduhin nating maayos na maimbestigahan ang mga kasong ito at maiharap sa korte ang mga ebidensya,” he added.

The accomplishment supports the PNP Focused Agenda, a framework for transforming police service, particularly its priority on Enhanced Managing Police Operations through sustained efforts against wanted persons and criminal activities.

Distance did not stop the pursuit of an accused facing serious charges involving the alleged sexual abuse of a minor, as coordinated police efforts led to his arrest in Odiongan, Romblon, underscoring the Philippine National Police's commitment to ensuring that cases involving children are not left unattended.

Under the leadership of Police General Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., Chief, Philippine National Police (PNP), operatives of the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG), in coordination with police units from Regions 3 and 4B, arrested the accused on November 7, 2026.

For Chief PNP Nartatez, the operation sends a clear message that the PNP will continue pursuing cases involving the alleged abuse of children through coordinated police action and the proper implementation of judicial processes.

“Hindi dapat maging hadlang ang layo ng lugar para maipagpatuloy ang paghahanap ng katarungan. Kapag may warrant na kailangang ipatupad, we must make sure that our coordination works and that the process moves forward. More importantly, we must never lose sight of the children and families whose lives are affected by these cases,” PGen Nartatez said.

The operation reflects the PNP Focused Agenda, particularly Enhanced Managing Police Operations (EMPO), which emphasizes intelligence-driven action, inter-unit coordination, and the effective implementation of police operations. It also supports President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.'s broader commitment to public safety and the protection of children and other vulnerable sectors.

The PNP recognizes the coordinated efforts of the CIDG and its partner units, reaffirming that the protection of children requires not only preventive measures but also consistent action in addressing reported abuses and ensuring that cases are brought through the appropriate legal process.

SMUGGLED CIGARETTE TRADE DEALT ₱3.5-MILLION BLOW; TRUCK DRIVER ARRESTED

The Philippine National Police (PNP), under the leadership of PNP Chief PGEN Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., disrupted suspected cigarette smuggling activities with the seizure of 5,361 reams of ci******es valued at ₱3,500,000.00 and the arrest of one delivery truck driver in separate operations in Zamboanga City, Bukidnon, and Lanao del Sur on November 9 and 10, 2026.

The PNP Maritime Group (PNP MG), through its Regional Maritime Units 9, 10, and BAR, conducted the operations.

In Quezon, Bukidnon, authorities recovered suspicious cigarette shipments from a courier company’s warehouse in Barangay Poblacion after receiving information from its area manager.

In Zamboanga City, a delivery truck driver was arrested after ci******es without the required Graphic Health Warnings were discovered in the vehicle, in possible violation of Republic Act No. 10643 or the Graphic Health Warnings Law.

In Lanao del Sur, the confiscated ci******es are being investigated for possible violations of Republic Act No. 10863 or the Customs Modernization and Tariff Act.

The seized items underwent inventory and documentation and remain in the custody of the concerned units pending the necessary procedures for their formal turnover to the Bureau of Customs for appropriate action.

PGEN Nartatez emphasized that the PNP will sustain its enforcement efforts against smuggling, which deprives the government of lawful revenues and undermines legitimate businesses. He also stressed the importance of building solid cases to ensure that those responsible are held accountable through the proper legal process.

“Smuggling is not merely an economic offense; it undermines legitimate trade and deprives the government of resources intended for public services,” PGEN Nartatez said.

“Hindi sapat na makumpiska lamang ang mga ilegal na produkto. Mahalaga ring matukoy ang mga nasa likod ng kalakalan at mapanagot sila sa ilalim ng batas,” he added.

The operations advance the PNP Focused Agenda, particularly Enhanced Managing Police Operations, by strengthening enforcement against illicit trade and ensuring that confiscated items are properly documented for legal action.

As the PNP intensifies its drive against cigarette smuggling and other illicit trade activities through sustained enforcement and accountability under the directive of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr., it assures the public of “Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong Mabilis, Tapat, at Nararamdaman.”

TWO ARRESTED AS PNP INTERCEPTS ₱1.74-MILLION SUSPECTED SODIUM CYANIDE SHIPMENT

A significant quantity of suspected hazardous chemicals was intercepted before it could be transported further, following a police operation in Sarangani Province that highlights the PNP’s expanding role in safeguarding not only public order but also community and environmental safety.

Under the leadership of Police General Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., Chief, Philippine National Police (PNP), personnel of Police Regional Office 12 intercepted a truck carrying approximately 1,450 kilograms of suspected sodium cyanide on November 11, 2026, in Sitio Tampuan, Barangay Kamanga, Maasim, Sarangani Province. The operation resulted in the arrest of the vehicle's driver and helper.

The interception was carried out by the Maasim Maritime Law Enforcement Team, in coordination with the Maasim Municipal Police Station and Regional Maritime Unit 12. An inspection of the truck led to the discovery of 29 sacks of the suspected chemical, with an estimated market value of ₱1.74 million.

Given the potentially serious risks associated with the substance, the recovered materials were immediately placed under the temporary custody of the Municipal Environment and Natural Resources Office of Maasim for proper safekeeping, pending referral to the Department of Environment and Natural Resources–Environmental Management Bureau 12 for appropriate examination and disposition.

The two arrested individuals, identified only through their aliases, remain under police custody as authorities prepare the appropriate charges for filing.

Chief PNP Nartatez emphasized that the operation reflects the PNP’s responsibility to act on threats that may put public safety and the environment at risk, stressing the importance of vigilance and close coordination with concerned government agencies.

“Hindi natin kailangang hintayin na may mapahamak bago tayo kumilos. Kapag may nakikitang posibleng panganib sa ating mga komunidad, dapat maagapan ito sa tamang panahon. We expect our personnel to remain alert, exercise sound judgment, and work hand in hand with the appropriate agencies to ensure that public safety is always protected,” PGen Nartatez said.

The operation reflects the PNP’s Enhanced Managing Police Operations (EMPO) under its Focused Agenda, reinforcing responsive police action and inter-agency coordination in support of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.’s commitment to public safety and environmental protection.

Through sustained vigilance and coordinated operations, the PNP remains committed to addressing threats that endanger communities and upholding its mandate of public service, consistent with Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong Mabilis, Tapat at Nararamdaman.
