โ‚ฑ20.48-M ILLEGAL DRUGS SEIZED, 5 ARRESTED IN NATIONWIDE PNP BUSTS

The Philippine National Police, under the command of PNP Chief PGEN Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., seized illegal drugs and controlled substances worth a combined โ‚ฑ20,482,056.00 and arrested five suspects as anti-drug operations across the country from October 1 to 3, 2026 yielded major recoveries of suspected shabu, ma*****na, Kush, and fentanyl-related substances.

The series of operations began with a major ma*****na seizure in Urdaneta City, Pangasinan, where an 18-year-old Filipino female known by the alias โ€œThaimieโ€ was arrested during a buy-bust operation conducted from October 1 to 2. Police recovered approximately 27,730 grams of suspected ma*****na leaves valued at โ‚ฑ3,327,600.00 and 511 grams of Kush worth โ‚ฑ1,533,000.00, bringing the value of the seized drugs to โ‚ฑ4,913,400.00. A caliber .22 revolver, buy-bust money, and other non-drug items were also recovered.

The following day, October 2, brought a series of significant shabu seizures. In Brgy. Balugo, Dumaguete City, Negros Oriental, a 35-year-old Filipino male known by the alias โ€œJohn,โ€ an identified high-value individual, was arrested with approximately 1,150 grams of suspected shabu valued at โ‚ฑ7,820,000.00.

In Iligan City, a 42-year-old Filipino male known by the alias โ€œJohn Jeffryโ€ was arrested in Brgy. Santiago with approximately 133 grams of suspected shabu worth โ‚ฑ904,400.00. In Brgy. Carmen, Cagayan de Oro City, another high-value individual, a 26-year-old Filipino male known by the alias โ€œRich,โ€ was arrested with 157.32 grams of suspected shabu valued at โ‚ฑ1,069,776.00.

Also on October 2, authorities intercepted two parcels at a cargo facility in the Clark Freeport Zone, Mabalacat City, Pampanga. The shipments originated from Shijiazhuang, China, and were sent by a trading company based in the same city to a consignee in the Philippines. Examination yielded approximately 4,190 milliliters of suspected 3-Methyl Butyryl Fentanyl valued at โ‚ฑ1,466,500.00 and 630 milliliters of suspected Fentanyl worth โ‚ฑ220,500.00, for a combined value of โ‚ฑ1,687,000.00. The operation was led by PDEA Region III.

The nationwide string of operations extended into October 3, when police in Brgy. Cuaming, Inabanga, Bohol, arrested a 38-year-old Filipino male known by the alias โ€œCondring,โ€ an identified high-value individual, and seized approximately 601.1 grams of suspected shabu valued at โ‚ฑ4,087,480.00. Another high-value individual, a 57-year-old Filipino male known by the alias โ€œJaime,โ€ eluded arrest and is the subject of manhunt operations.

PGEN Nartatez underscored the importance of sustained police action in disrupting the illegal drug trade and keeping dangerous substances away from communities.

โ€œEvery successful seizure keeps dangerous substances away from our communities. We will remain focused on lawful enforcement, solid evidence, and holding those responsible accountable under the law,โ€ PGEN Nartatez said.

โ€œHindi natin hahayaang maging transit point ng ipinagbabawal na gamot ang ating mga pamayanan. Kakasuhan at pananagutin natin ang mga lalabag sa batas sa pamamagitan ng disiplinado at lehitimong operasyon ng pulisya,โ€ he added.

The accomplishments reflect the PNP Focused Agenda, a framework that strengthens police service and translates priorities into results, particularly through Enhanced Managing Police Operations in the focused and lawful fight against illegal drugs.

As the PNP strengthens its efforts to disrupt illegal drug trafficking and protect communities under the directive of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr., it assures the public of โ€œBagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong Mabilis, Tapat, at Nararamdaman.โ€

130 FOREIGN NATIONALS ACCOUNTED FOR IN ZAMBOANGA SIBUGAY FORCED-LABOR PROBE AMID ARMED CLASH

The Philippine National Police, under the leadership of PNP Chief PGEN Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., backed a government operation in Zamboanga Sibugay that accounted for 130 foreign nationals amid an armed encounter on October 2, 2026.

The operation was conducted in Barangay Tandiong Muslim, Alicia, Zamboanga Sibugay, by personnel of the Bureau of Immigration (BI), National Bureau of Investigation (NBI), Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), and the Police Intelligence Unit and Alicia Municipal Police Station of the Zamboanga Sibugay Police Provincial Office. It stemmed from allegations of forced labor and the employment of foreign nationals without the required visas or immigration documents.

An armed encounter transpired between the operating government personnel and unidentified armed individuals during the operation. Two Chinese nationals were wounded and immediately brought to Alicia District Hospital for medical treatment before being referred to Zamboanga Medical Center for further medical attention.

A total of 130 foreign nationals were accounted for, consisting of 120 Chinese, four Indonesians, three Malaysians, and three Myanmar nationals. They were placed under the custody of the BI and NBI and subsequently brought to Purok 2, Barangay Kimos, Siay, Zamboanga Sibugay, for consolidation and proper disposition.

Their immigration status, individual circumstances, and possible involvement in any unlawful activity remain subject to verification and investigation by the competent authorities. Meanwhile, the identities, whereabouts, and subsequent status of the unidentified armed individuals involved in the encounter remain subject to further investigation.

โ€œThis operation highlights the importance of decisive law enforcement action when there are indications of exploitation and immigration violations. Our personnel must remain alert, disciplined, and committed to protecting people while carrying out their lawful duties,โ€ PGEN Nartatez said.

โ€œHindi tayo magpapabaya sa mga sitwasyong maaaring maglagay sa panganib sa buhay at seguridad ng mga tao. Sisiguraduhin nating naaayon sa batas ang ating mga hakbang at mananagot ang sinumang mapatutunayang lumabag sa batas,โ€ he added.

The PNP Focused Agenda provides a framework for strengthening police service and translating priorities into concrete results, particularly through Enhanced Managing Police Operations, which reinforces lawful and sustained law enforcement efforts.

As the PNP strengthens law enforcement efforts and safeguards communities under the directive of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr., it assures the public of โ€œBagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong Mabilis, Tapat, at Nararamdaman.โ€

โ€œWe will sustain our focused pursuit of wanted persons and ensure that those with standing warrants are brought before the proper courts. Every lawful arrest strengthens accountability and advances the justice process while respecting due process and the rule of law,โ€ PGEN Nartatez said.

โ€œHindi titigil ang ating kapulisan sa paghahanap sa mga wanted persons. Patuloy nating ipatutupad ang mga warrant of arrest nang naaayon sa batas at sisiguraduhin nating maihaharap sa tamang proseso ng hustisya ang mga taong hinahanap ng hukuman,โ€ he added.

As the PNP strengthens its law enforcement efforts under the directive of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr., it assures the public of โ€œBagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong Mabilis, Tapat, at Nararamdaman.โ€

The loud blast that briefly alarmed students and school personnel at a school in Isulan, Sultan Kudarat, on September 30, 2026, was traced to an electrical fault and was not caused by gunfire, based on the initial assessment of authorities.

Upon receiving the report, personnel of the Isulan Municipal Police Station immediately responded and secured the area to ensure the safety of the students, teachers, and school personnel. An initial inspection found no fired cartridge cases, bullet marks, fi***rm, or other physical evidence indicative of a shooting incident.

Police authorities likewise coordinated with school officials and the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) for further assessment and verification.

Based on the BFPโ€™s findings, the loud sound was caused by an electrical short circuit involving a deteriorated service-drop wire, which produced a loud electrical discharge and resulted in limited fire damage in the area.

No injuries were reported. Sixteen students reportedly fainted during the momentary commotion, but none sustained injuries.

The BFP also found no incendiary materials or other suspicious circumstances and recommended that the incident be considered closed, subject to the submission of its official investigation report.

Police Regional Director PBGEN ALAN B MANIBOG emphasized that reports involving school safety are immediately acted upon, while facts are carefully verified before conclusions are made.

โ€œKapag may ganitong report, agad tayong reresponde para matiyak ang kaligtasan ng ating mga estudyante, g**o, at school personnel. Kasabay ng mabilis na response, mahalaga rin ang maingat na validation upang malaman ang tunay na pinagmulan ng insidente at maibigay sa publiko ang tama at kumpirmadong impormasyon.โ€

At about 7:30 AM, personnel of the Matalam Municipal Police Station, together with duty security guard of Notre Dame of Matalam, conducted police visibility and security monitoring within the school premises to help ensure the safety of students, teachers, and school personnel.

During the routine inspection of students and motorcycles entering the school, the security guard discovered inside a black sling bag placed in the compartment box of a black-and-gray Honda Click motorcycle a Model 1911 U.S. Army caliber .45 pistol with serial number along with one magazine containing eight rounds of caliber .45 am******on.

The motorcycle was reportedly being driven by Alias โ€œLJEM,โ€ 17, a Grade 12 student and resident of Purok 4, Barangay Sanggadong, Kabacan, Cotabato.

Upon discovery of the fi***rm, the security guard immediately alerted the police personnel present in the area. The responding officers secured the fi***rm and am******on and rescued the minor from the situation, prioritizing her safety and welfare.

The minor was subsequently brought to Matalam MPS for proper assessment, documentation, and appropriate intervention, in coordination with her parents or guardians and concerned authorities, consistent with existing laws and procedures governing children in conflict with the law.

Initial inquiry indicated that the fi***rm allegedly belonged to the minorโ€™s father, who reportedly forgot to remove it from the motorcycle before the minor used the vehicle to go to school.

The recovered fi***rm and am******on have been secured for proper documentation, verification, and disposition. Matalam MPS is also coordinating with the school administration and concerned police units as the circumstances surrounding the incident continue to be verified.

PBGEN ALAN B MANIBOG, Regional Director, Police Regional Office 12, commended the immediate action of the school security personnel and Matalam police officers in securing the fi***rm and ensuring the safety of the minor.

โ€œAng kaligtasan ng ating mga mag-aaral ay responsibilidad nating lahat. Ipinapakita ng insidenteng ito ang kahalagahan ng pagiging mapagmatyag at ng maayos na koordinasyon ng paaralan, mga security personnel, mga magulang, at kapulisan,โ€ ani PBGEN MANIBOG.
