PNP STATEMENT ON THE RECOVERY OF ABANDONED CASKETS IN METRO MANILA

The Philippine National Police (PNP) is aware of the circulating videos and social media posts regarding abandoned caskets reportedly found in different parts of Metro Manila.

The concerned police units are validating each reported incident and are coordinating with the respective local government units and other appropriate agencies to determine the circumstances surrounding the recovery of the caskets. The recovered caskets, together with other materials found at the scene, have been secured as part of the investigation to establish their origin, purpose, and whether any laws or local ordinances may have been violated.

The PNP encourages the public to rely only on verified information from official sources and to refrain from sharing unverified claims or speculation that may cause unnecessary confusion. Anyone with information that may assist the investigation is encouraged to report it to the nearest police station, through official PNP communication channels, or by calling Unified 911.

The PNP assures the public that the matter is being looked into by the concerned police units in coordination with the appropriate authorities. Updates will be provided, as necessary, based on verified information and the progress of the investigation.

INTEGRITY IN ACTION: PNP FILES FI****MS CHARGES AGAINST TWO ACTIVE PERSONNEL

Demonstrating that accountability begins within its own organization, the Philippine National Police (PNP) arrested two active police personnel during an operation in Caloocan City for alleged violations of Republic Act No. 10591, or the Comprehensive Fi****ms and Am******on Regulation Act.

The operation was conducted early Thursday following intelligence and case build-up, leading to the arrest of the two suspects, aged 32 and 39, after they allegedly sold fi****ms to an undercover police operative.

Recovered during the operation were several fi****ms, am******on, marked money used in the operation, mobile phones, and motorcycles believed to have been used in the transaction. The suspects were informed of the reason for their arrest and apprised of their constitutional rights, while all recovered evidence underwent proper inventory and documentation before charges under Sections 28 and 29 of Republic Act No. 10591 were referred for inquest proceedings.

The operation underscores the PNP's unwavering commitment to professional accountability by ensuring that every allegation involving its personnel is addressed through lawful and impartial processes. It also supports the Integrity Monitoring pillar of the PNP Focused Agenda by reinforcing discipline, transparency, and ethical conduct within the organization, in line with the directive of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. to strengthen public institutions through professionalism, accountability, and respect for the rule of law.

Police General Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., Chief of the Philippine National Police, stressed that preserving public trust requires the organization to hold its own personnel to the same standards it expects from every citizen.

"Walang puwang ang paglabag sa batas sa hanay ng PNP. Ang bawat kaso ay haharapin nang may patas na proseso at walang kinikilingan. Sa ganitong paraan namin pinatitibay ang disiplina sa organisasyon at ang tiwala ng publiko," said PGen Nartatez.

The PNP assured the public that it will continue to strengthen its internal accountability mechanisms while ensuring that every investigation is conducted with fairness and due process. Through Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong Mabilis, Tapat at Nararamdaman, the organization remains committed to building a police service that earns public confidence through integrity, professionalism, and consistent adherence to the law.
