After an earthquake, prioritize safety by checking for hazards, monitoring for aftershocks, and ensuring your well-being and that of others.

Immediate Actions to Take
Check for Injuries: Assess yourself and those around you for injuries. Provide first aid if necessary and seek medical attention for serious injuries.

Expect Aftershocks: Aftershocks are common after the main earthquake. Be prepared for additional shaking and follow the "Drop, Cover, and Hold On" procedure if they occur

Evacuate if Necessary: If you are in a damaged building, evacuate immediately. Use the safest route and avoid using elevators

Inspect Your Surroundings: Look for hazards such as damaged power lines, gas leaks, or unstable structures. If you smell gas, turn off the gas supply and leave the building


Stay Informed: Use a battery-operated radio or your mobile device to stay updated on emergency information and instructions from local authorities

The Philippine National Police (PNP) continues to strengthen its campaign against environmental crimes following the successful rescue of more than ₱5.5 million worth of protected wildlife species and the arrest of a foreign national in Sarangani Province.

The operation was conducted on June 4, 2026, by personnel of the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG), in coordination with the Provincial Intelligence Unit of the Sarangani Police Provincial Office, local police units, and the Department of Environment and Natural Resources–Municipal Environment and Natural Resources Office (DENR-MENRO) of Sarangani.

Authorities recovered several protected wildlife species allegedly being possessed and traded without the permits required under Republic Act No. 9147, otherwise known as the Wildlife Resources Conservation and Protection Act, which regulates the collection, possession, transport, and trade of wildlife and wildlife by-products in the country.

The arrested suspect, identified only by the alias “Son,” an Indonesian national, is facing appropriate charges for alleged violation of RA 9147.

The successful operation underscores the PNP's commitment to protecting the country's biodiversity and natural resources. It also supports the PNP Focused Agenda, particularly under Enhanced Managing Police Operations, through intensified law enforcement efforts against environmental and transnational crimes.

PNP Chief, Police General Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., lauded the operating units and partner agencies for their coordinated efforts.

"Ang tagumpay na ito ay bunga ng mahusay na koordinasyon ng ating mga kapulisan at mga katuwang na ahensya ng pamahalaan. Sa pamamagitan ng sama-samang pagkilos, mas napapalakas natin ang proteksyon sa ating likas na yaman at wildlife resources," PGEN Nartatez said.

"We remain steadfast in enforcing environmental laws and supporting conservation efforts across the country. Our message is simple: the protection of wildlife and the environment is a shared responsibility, and the PNP will continue to do its part in preserving these resources for future generations," he added.

The operation also complements the environmental protection and sustainability initiatives being advanced by the administration of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr., recognizing the importance of conserving the nation's natural heritage and maintaining ecological balance.

The PNP assures the public that it will continue to work closely with the DENR and other partner agencies in implementing environmental laws and protecting wildlife habitats, in line with its commitment to Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong Mabilis, Tapat at Nararamdaman.

Eight individuals were arrested and several stolen vehicles were recovered following a swift police operation in the National Capital Region that stemmed from a robbery incident involving a 20-year-old student in the early hours of June 5.

The victim was deprived of his motorcycle and mobile phone in Marikina City. Through the location-tracking feature of the stolen phone, police were able to trace one of the persons involved in Caloocan City. The recovery of the device led to the immediate arrest of the individual and triggered a series of follow-up operations that uncovered additional stolen vehicles and fi****ms.

The coordinated police action resulted in the recovery of seven motorcycles and two motor vehicles believed to be linked to the case. Authorities also recovered two fi****ms that are now undergoing verification as part of the ongoing investigation.

The accomplishment reflects the Philippine National Police’s continuing efforts to strengthen crime prevention and response under its Focused Agenda, particularly through Enhanced Managing Police Operations. It also supports the administration’s drive under President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. to maintain safer communities through responsive and effective law enforcement.

PNP Chief Police General Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr. commended the operating units for their prompt response and effective coordination that led to the successful operation.

“Ang operasyong ito ay patunay na kapag mabilis ang pagresponde at maayos ang koordinasyon, mas nagiging epektibo ang ating pagtugon sa krimen. Nakita natin dito kung paano nakatulong ang teknolohiya at mahusay na imbestigasyon upang agad na maresolba ang insidente,” said PGen Nartatez.

He added that the recovery of stolen property and the arrest of those allegedly involved demonstrate the PNP’s commitment to protecting the public and preserving peace and order.

“Patuloy nating palalakasin ang ating mga operasyon at sisiguruhing nararamdaman ng ating mga kababayan ang presensya ng pulisya sa kanilang komunidad. Ang kaligtasan ng mamamayan ang nananatiling pangunahing prayoridad ng inyong PNP,” he said.

The PNP continues its investigation to determine possible links of the recovered vehicles and fi****ms to other incidents while sustaining efforts to keep communities safe, in line with the vision of Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong Mabilis, Tapat at Nararamdaman.
