PNP AT BFP, RUMISPONDE SA SUNOG SA STO. TOMAS, ISABELA

Mabilis na naapula ang sunog sa Brgy. B**a Oriental, Sto. Tomas, Isabela matapos ang agarang pagresponde ng Sto. Tomas Police Station at Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) Sto. Tomas, na nagligtas sa komunidad mula sa mas malawak na pinsala.

Sa ilalim ng pamumuno ni Philippine National Police Chief PGEN Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., patuloy na pinapalakas ng PNP ang kakayahan nitong tumugon sa mga emerhensiya katuwang ang iba pang ahensya ng pamahalaan upang masiguro ang kaligtasan ng publiko.

Bandang alas-10 ng umaga noong Mayo 1, 2026, nakatanggap ng ulat ang Sto. Tomas Police Station hinggil sa nasusunog na bahay sa naturang barangay. Agad na rumesponde ang mga pulis kasama ang BFP Sto. Tomas upang apulahin ang apoy at tulungan ang mga residente sa paglikas.

Sa mabilis na pagkilos ng mga rumespondeng awtoridad, napigilan ang pagkalat ng apoy sa mga kalapit na kabahayan. Wala namang naiulat na nasaktan o nasawi, habang patuloy na inaalam ang kabuuang pinsala at sanhi ng insidente.

“Sa oras ng sakuna, ang mabilis na pagtugon ay isang obligasyong hindi dapat naaantala. Nandito ang PNP upang protektahan ang buhay at ari-arian ng ating mga kababayan sa anumang sitwasyon,” ayon kay PGEN Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., Chief, PNP.

“In every emergency situation, the immediate protection of lives and property remains our top priority,” dagdag pa ni PGEN Nartatez.

Nagpahayag ng pasasalamat ang may-ari ng bahay sa mabilis na pagresponde ng mga awtoridad, na nagsabing bagama’t naapektuhan ang kanilang tahanan, mahalaga ang kaligtasan ng kanilang pamilya.

Hinihikayat naman ang publiko na manatiling alerto at agad ipagbigay-alam sa mga kinauukulan ang anumang insidente upang maiwasan ang mas malalang pinsala sa komunidad.

Sa patuloy na pagtupad ng PNP sa mandato nito, nananatili ang pangako ng organisasyon sa adhikain na “Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong mabilis, tapat, at nararamdaman.”

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.

PNP BUSTS ILLEGAL LPG REFILLING IN CALOOCAN; 17 ARRESTED, ₱25-M SEIZED

The Philippine National Police (PNP) arrested seventeen individuals during the implementation of a search warrant against an establishment engaged in the alleged illegal handling and refilling of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) in Caloocan City on May 2, 2026.

Operatives of the Regional Special Operations Unit of the National Capital Region Police Office carried out the operation from early morning until mid-morning at a facility in Barangay 163, Sta. Quiteria, Caloocan City.

The action led to the confiscation of various LPG cylinders of different brands and sizes, refilling equipment, compressors, a transport truck, and other materials used in the operation, with an estimated total value of ₱25 million.

Authorities said several of the recovered items showed signs of tampering, indicating possible unauthorized refilling and repackaging activities in violation of Republic Act No. 11592, or the LPG Regulation Act. The arrested individuals, all adults, were informed of the nature of their arrest and are now under police custody for proper legal proceedings.

PNP Chief, Police General Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., commended the operating units for the successful operation and emphasized the importance of protecting public safety from hazardous practices.

“Ang ganitong uri ng operasyon ay mahalaga para matiyak ang kaligtasan ng ating mga kababayan. LPG is highly sensitive, and improper handling can put lives and properties at risk. Hindi natin hahayaan ang ganitong gawain na magpatuloy,” PGen Nartatez said.

The operation forms part of the PNP’s intensified efforts under its Focused Agenda, particularly on Enhanced Managing Police Operations, aimed at addressing illegal activities that pose risks to public safety. It also supports the broader direction of the administration of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. in ensuring accountability and public protection.

The PNP assures the public that similar operations will continue as part of its mandate to uphold the law and maintain order, in line with its vision of Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong Mabilis, Tapat at Nararamdaman.
