PNP STATEMENT

The Philippine National Police (PNP) acknowledges the public’s concerns following the circulation of a video involving minors in a public setting along Alabang–Zapote Road, Brgy. Almanza Uno, Las Piñas City.

Based on initial reports, police personnel responded on May 2, 2026 to a disturbance involving minors allegedly attempting to board a passenger jeepney. Follow-up operations led to the location of seven (7) minors in the same area the following day.

The minors were placed under police and barangay supervision for proper intervention and were subsequently turned over to the Barangay Council for the Protection of Children and endorsed to the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) – Las Piñas City, in accordance with child protection protocols.

Initial findings indicate that the situation arose from a misunderstanding following a jeepney driver’s refusal to accommodate passengers. No injuries or property loss were reported.

Verification remains ongoing, with appropriate actions being taken in accordance with established procedures.

The PNP continues to sustain police visibility, ensure rapid response capability, and strengthen coordination with local government units to ensure peace and order in communities.

The public is reminded to exercise discernment in sharing online content and to rely on verified information from official sources. The spread of inaccurate or misleading portrayals can create unnecessary alarm and does not reflect the verified facts of the situation.

The PNP remains committed to accountability, transparency, and delivering results that reinforce public safety on the ground.

PULIS, NAMAHAGI NG REFLECTORIZED VESTS SA KANYANG KAARAWAN

Sa halip na tumanggap ng regalo sa kanyang kaarawan, pinili ni Police Corporal Jenny I. Agsaulio ng City of San Fernando Police Station na magbigay-serbisyo sa kapwa.

Noong Abril 30, 2026, kasabay ng kanyang ika-34 kaarawan, namahagi si PCpl Agsaulio ng reflectorized safety vests sa mga e-bike at motorcycle riders sa isinagawang checkpoint sa Brgy. Lingsat. Isinagawa ang pamamahagi sa kahabaan ng national highway sa oras na kritikal ang visibility sa gabi, bilang dagdag proteksyon sa mga motorista.

Ayon kay Agsaulio, simpleng paraan niya ito upang makapagbahagi at makatulong sa kaligtasan ng kapwa. Malugod namang tinanggap ng mga benepisyaryo ang mga safety vest, na inaasahang makatutulong upang maiwasan ang aksidente lalo na sa gabi.

Pinuri ni Chief, PNP, Police General Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr. ang inisyatiba ng pulis.

“Ang ganitong mga simpleng hakbang ay may malaking epekto sa kaligtasan ng publiko. Ipinapakita nito na ang pagiging pulis ay hindi lamang tungkulin, kundi malasakit sa kapwa. Nakakatuwang makita na may mga ganitong inisyatiba mula sa ating hanay,” ani PGen Nartatez.

Dagdag pa niya, “Ito ang uri ng paglilingkod na nais nating palaganapin—yung kusa, may malasakit, at tunay na nararamdaman ng mamamayan.”

Ipinapakita ng nasabing gawain ang patuloy na pagsisikap ng PNP na paigtingin ang community engagement at road safety initiatives, kasabay ng adbokasiya ng Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong Mabilis, Tapat at Nararamdaman.

OVER 7,300 FORCES MOBILIZED TO SECURE ASEAN SUMMIT 2026 IN CEBU

A large-scale security deployment was formally launched at the Mactan Shrine in Lapu-Lapu City on Saturday, May 2, 2026, with more than 7,300 personnel from various government security and emergency response agencies mobilized in preparation for the ASEAN Summit 2026 in Central Visayas.

The send-off ceremony was led by local officials and top security leaders, together with PNP Chief, PGEN Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., marking the full activation of coordinated national security measures for one of the region’s most significant diplomatic events.

PNP Chief, PGEN Nartatez also conducted an aerial inspection over key areas in Central Visayas to assess operational readiness, validate deployment plans, and ensure seamless coordination of security forces across critical sites, transport routes, and event venues.

The Task Group Central Visayas under the Committee on Security, Peace and Order, and Emergency Preparedness and Response (CSPOEPR) was formally activated, integrating forces from the PNP, Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP), Philippine Coast Guard (PCG), Department of Health (DOH), Office of Civil Defense (OCD), and other partner agencies. The deployment covers site security, convoy protection, coastal and airspace monitoring, traffic management, emergency medical response, and rapid incident handling.

PGEN Nartatez emphasized that preparations for the summit have been comprehensive, deliberate, and continuously refined.

“This operation is the result of extensive planning and sustained coordination, drawing from established best practices in previous national and international events. We are fully prepared to ensure a safe and secure ASEAN Summit,” he said.

He also underscored that deployment levels are calibrated based on operational requirements to maintain optimal security coverage at all times.

The ASEAN Summit 2026 will be held on May 7 to 8 in Lapu-Lapu City, with foreign delegates arriving as early as May 5 and expected to depart until May 12. The event is expected to gather world leaders to discuss key regional issues including security cooperation, economic integration, and policy development.

Anchored on the PNP Focused Agenda—a transformation framework designed to make police service more responsive, efficient, and community-centered—the deployment highlights strengthened inter-agency coordination and intelligence-driven operations, particularly under enhanced managing police operations and active community support, ensuring a safe, orderly, and secure environment for the international summit.

As the PNP leads comprehensive security operations for ASEAN Summit 2026 under the directive of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr., the PNP continues to assure the public of “Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong mabilis, tapat, at nararamdaman.”
