PNP, UNIFIED 911 HALT ARMED ATTACK IN CAVITE

A late-night report coursed through Unified 911 prompted police action that stopped a dangerous shooting incident and protected a family inside their home in Indang, Cavite on February 5, 2026.

Under the leadership of PNP Chief PGEN Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., the Philippine National Police promptly acted on a distress call coursed through Unified 911, a system under the Department of the Interior and Local Government headed by Secretary Juanito Victor Remulla, leading to the arrest of a 52-year-old Filipino male for grave threat, illegal discharge of fi***rms, and violation of Republic Act No. 10591.

At around 10:11 PM, authorities received a unified 911 call reporting gunfire at a private residence. Initial investigation showed that a 69-year-old Filipino woman was inside her home when the suspect allegedly fired multiple shots from outside, hitting portions of the house. As the complainant and her family sought cover, the suspect reportedly forced his way inside and continued firing, shattering windows and endangering everyone inside the residence.

Responding PNP personnel immediately secured the area, arrested the suspect, and recovered two fi***rms from his possession—a sh***un and a 9mm caliber pistol—along with several fired slugs, as the search and documentation continue. The suspect was informed of his constitutional rights in a language he fully understood and was subjected to standard arrest and booking procedures. A spot report is set to follow.

This successful police action reflects the PNP Focused Agenda, a guiding framework for institutional change that seeks to strengthen police service and public trust. In this incident, the priority on enhanced managing police operations was evident, as prompt response, disciplined action, and adherence to procedure prevented further harm and ensured accountability.

PNP Chief PGEN Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr. underscored the importance of decisive yet lawful police action, saying, “This incident shows that when citizens reach out through Unified 911, the police will respond with purpose and responsibility to protect lives.” He added, “Hindi namin hahayaang malagay sa panganib ang mga pamilya sa kanilang sariling tahanan. Aaksyon ang pulis kapag may banta sa buhay at kaligtasan.”

In a separate statement, PGEN Nartatez Jr. emphasized public safety and vigilance, stating, “The arrest sends a clear message that the illegal use of fi***rms has no place in our communities.” He stressed in Filipino, “Ang pagdadala at paggamit ng baril nang labag sa batas ay may katapat na pananagutan sa ilalim ng ating mga batas.”

As the PNP continues to intensify its efforts to safeguard communities and uphold public safety 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.”

ZERO-TOLERANCE IN ACTION: PNP ENFORCES ACCOUNTABILITY ACROSS ALL RANKS

The Philippine National Police (PNP) sends a firm message: misconduct within our ranks will not be tolerated. Recent incidents involving some uniformed personnel only reinforce our resolve to uphold the law and protect public trust.

Those who violate the law will face uncompromising accountability, including dismissal from service. The PNP acts with speed, decisiveness, and full transparency, ensuring that cases are resolved promptly, justice is delivered without delay, and the integrity of the organization remains unshaken.

Under the leadership of Chief PNP PGen. Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., the PNP has adopted a strict zero-tolerance policy. “Hindi po namin pinapalampas ang anumang paglabag sa batas at patakaran. Sisiguraduhin namin na mananagot ang dapat managot,” PGen. Nartatez Jr. said.

Since PGen. Nartatez assumed office, the PNP has resolved 770 administrative cases, ensuring that disciplinary action matches the gravity of the violation. Of these cases, 278 personnel were dismissed, including a mix of PCOs, PNCOs, and non-uniformed personnel, while 44 were demoted and 163 received suspensions. Additional penalties included 504 restrictions and 266 cases of withholding privileges, all reflecting a system where wrongdoing is met with consequences.

In January 2026 alone, disciplinary action was applied to 180 personnel, with 53 dismissals, 88 suspensions, and 27 reprimands, signaling that the PNP is not taking recent incidents lightly and that accountability remains active and ongoing.

“Every act of wrongdoing within the PNP is taken seriously. We are not merely enforcing rules—we are building a culture of integrity, discipline, and service,” PGen. Nartatez Jr. emphasized.

The PNP also recognizes the strong guidance of Secretary of the Department of the Interior and Local Government Juanito Victor ‘Jonvic’ C. Remulla, whose leadership ensures that internal discipline and reform remain top priorities. PGen. Nartatez Jr. likewise expressed gratitude for the unwavering support of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr., whose commitment strengthens the resolve of the PNP to serve the Filipino people with professionalism and integrity.

“With the steady guidance of Secretary Remulla and the full support of President Marcos Jr., the PNP stands ready to serve every Filipino with professionalism, honesty, and relentless dedication,” PGen. Nartatez Jr. expressed.

PGen Nartatez Jr. further emphasized, “Accountability is not optional. It is the foundation of trust between the PNP and the public we serve. Ang sinumang lalabag sa batas ay mananagot, walang kinikilingan.”

Through these decisive actions, the PNP continues to instill a culture of integrity, discipline, and professionalism, guided by a singular vision: Together, we build Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong Mabilis, Tapat at Nararamdaman.”
