RECENT ROBBERY-HOLDUP SUBJECT ARRESTED BEFORE FLIGHT AT NAIA

Under the leadership of Police General Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., Chief, Philippine National Police (PNP), a timely exchange of verified information among police units and airport authorities resulted in the apprehension of a robbery-hold-up suspect at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 3 in Pasay City on October 2, 2026.

The police response began after information about a robbery-hold-up incident in Malolos City, Bulacan, on October 1 was relayed to concerned units. Subsequent validation showed that the suspect had proceeded to NAIA Terminal 3 and had checked in for a flight bound for Cagayan de Oro.

With the information confirmed, personnel of the PNP Aviation Security Group, Police Regional Office 3, and other concerned units coordinated with airport security and the airline. The joint response led to the interception of the suspect at the Domestic Departure Area before the scheduled flight.

The suspect was placed under police custody and turned over to the concerned units for documentation and appropriate legal proceedings.

Chief PNP PGen Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr. emphasized that effective policing also means making the right connections between units when information crosses jurisdictional lines.

β€œHindi natatapos sa isang lugar ang trabaho ng pulis kapag may kailangang maaksiyunan. We have to connect the information, verify it, and act on it at the right time. That kind of coordination can make a real difference in keeping people safe,” PGen Nartatez said.

The operation reflects the PNP Focused Agenda, particularly its Enhanced Managing Police Operations (EMPO), through the timely validation, coordination, and deployment of police resources in response to emerging situations. It also supports the peace and security priorities of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr., especially in maintaining safe and orderly public spaces and transportation facilities.

The PNP will continue strengthening coordination among its units and partner agencies to ensure that police action remains responsive and properly guided by verified information, consistent with the commitment to a Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong Mabilis, Tapat at Nararamdaman.

β€œKapag may reliable information, hindi natin dapat pinatatagal. We have to act, coordinate, and do the job properly. The goal is simpleβ€”to stop illegal drugs before they reach our communities. That is what our police units should continue doing: stay alert, work together, and always operate within the law,” PGen Nartatez said.

FIVE REGIONAL MOST WANTED PERSONS ACCOUNTED FOR ACROSS FIVE AREAS IN ONE DAY

Five most wanted persons were accounted for in separate police operations across the country on October 3, as the Philippine National Police (PNP) sustained its efforts to locate individuals with standing warrants and bring them before the proper courts.

The operations, conducted under the leadership of Police General Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., Chief, PNP, covered Rizal, Zamboanga del Sur, Navotas City, Laguna, and Nueva Vizcaya. All five were listed as most wanted persons at the regional level and were facing various criminal cases, including qualified theft, statutory r**e, sexual assault, acts of lasciviousness, murder, and qualified r**e of a minor.

In Rizal, a regional-level most wanted person facing a qualified theft case was apprehended by the tracker team of the Cainta Municipal Police Station. In Zamboanga del Sur, a No. 1 most wanted person was located in Molave through the joint efforts of the local police and provincial intelligence personnel.

In Navotas City, a No. 5 most wanted person facing sexual offense cases was apprehended by local police and intelligence units. In Laguna, a No. 9 most wanted person wanted for murder was accounted for through a coordinated operation involving police units from Occidental Mindoro and Laguna.

Meanwhile, in Nueva Vizcaya, a No. 6 most wanted person facing cases involving qualified r**e of a minor and r**e by sexual assault was arrested by the Santa Fe Municipal Police Station, with support from other police units.

Chief PNP General Nartatez said the results reflect the importance of sustained intelligence work and coordination in locating priority wanted persons, while ensuring that every arrest is conducted on the basis of a valid warrant and in accordance with established procedures.

β€œAng trabaho natin is not simply to find a wanted person. We have to make sure that the arrest is lawful, properly documented, and respectful of the rights of everyone involved. Once a warrant is served, the case can move forward through the proper judicial process,” General Nartatez said.

The operations are part of the PNP's continuing implementation of its Focused Agenda, particularly through Enhanced Managing Police Operations (EMPO), which strengthens intelligence gathering, coordination, verification, and focused police action against individuals with standing warrants. These efforts likewise support the peace and order priorities of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. by helping ensure that lawful court processes are effectively carried out.

The PNP will sustain its efforts to locate wanted persons through intelligence-led and coordinated operations while upholding due process, professionalism, and respect for human rights, in keeping with the Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong Mabilis, Tapat at Nararamdaman.

67 FI****MS TAKEN OUT OF LOOSE CIRCULATION IN 24-HOUR WV POLICE DRIVE

Under the leadership of Police General Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., Chief, Philippine National Police (PNP), police units in Western Visayas (WV) accounted for 67 fi****ms and 12 explosives in just 24 hours, strengthening efforts to keep fi****ms out of situations where they could be used to harm people or facilitate criminal activities.

The accomplishment was recorded from 6:00 AM of October 3 to 5:59 AM of October 4, 2026, through police operations, voluntary surrender, house visitations, and coordination with fi***rm holders and communities across the region.

Of the 67 fi****ms accounted for, 60 were voluntarily surrendered, two were confiscated during police operations, and five were turned over following house visitations involving fi****ms with expired registrations. Police units also conducted 74 search warrant-related activities, one of which resulted in an arrest and the recovery of fi****ms.

The result carries added significance as fi****ms remain among the weapons commonly used in criminal activities and violent incidents. By bringing more fi****ms into police accountabilityβ€”particularly through voluntary surrender and proper turnoverβ€”the campaign helps reduce the possibility that unaccounted or improperly documented fi****ms could later be used in crimes.

The sustained effort is aligned with the PNP’s Focused Agenda, particularly its Enhanced Managing Police Operations (EMPO) approach, which emphasizes verification, coordination, and appropriate police action while encouraging fi***rm holders to comply with legal requirements.

Chief PNP Gen. Nartatez said the value of the operation is not measured only by the number of fi****ms accounted for, but also by the incidents that may be prevented when fi****ms are properly documented or safely turned over.

β€œEvery fi***rm we bring into proper accountability is a potential risk we are able to address before it becomes a problem. Hindi natin kailangang hintayin na magamit sa krimen ang isang baril bago natin ito aksyunan. When police, communities, and fi***rm holders work together, prevention becomes much more effective,” Gen. Nartatez said.

The accomplishment also supports the continuing gains of Project R.T.T. 3389 (Restrict, Track, and Turn-In), which covered all 3,389 barangays in Western Visayas and strengthened coordination among police units, local governments, barangay officials, communities, and fi***rm holders in accounting for loose fi****ms.

The PNP continues to support the administration of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. through sustained, lawful, and community-based police operations that address potential risks before they develop into incidents. The effort reflects the Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong Mabilis, Tapat at Nararamdaman, where police action is focused not only on responding to crime but also on preventing it.
