The Philippine National Police (PNP), under the command of PNP Chief, Police General Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., successfully arrested the Regional Level No. 4 Most Wanted Person in Police Regional Office 2 during a manhunt operation conducted on June 11, 2026, in Aritao, Nueva Vizcaya, marking another significant accomplishment in the organization’s continuing campaign against fugitives charged with heinous crimes.

The 29-year-old Filipino male suspect, a laborer from Aritao, Nueva Vizcaya, was apprehended by virtue of a warrant of arrest for three counts of statutory r**e issued by the Regional Trial Court, Branch 30, Bayombong, Nueva Vizcaya. The warrant carried no recommended bail. The operation was led by the Aritao Municipal Police Station with the support of the 115th Special Action Company, 11th Special Action Battalion of the Special Action Force, and the Provincial Intelligence Team of the Regional Intelligence Unit 2.

The suspect is now under the custody of the Aritao Municipal Police Station while the required documentation is being completed before his turnover to the court that issued the warrant.

“The arrest of wanted persons is a clear demonstration of the Philippine National Police’s unwavering commitment to uphold the rule of law and ensure that those accused of serious crimes answer before our courts. We will continue to pursue every fugitive through lawful and sustained police operations,” said PNP Chief, Police General Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr.

“Hindi titigil ang PNP hangga’t naihaharap sa hukuman ang mga taong may pananagutan at naibibigay ang katarungan,” he added.

This accomplishment supports the PNP Focused Agenda, a strategic roadmap for organizational transformation designed to make police service more responsive, accountable, and dependable. At the heart of this agenda are key priorities that define the course of the PNP, particularly Enhanced Managing Police Operations, which continues to reinforce intelligence-driven manhunt efforts and the consistent enforcement of warrants against wanted persons across the country.

As the PNP strengthens its campaign against wanted persons and sustains law enforcement operations under the directive of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr., it continues to assure the public of “Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong mabilis, tapat, at nararamdaman.”

The initiative highlighted the government’s continuing commitment to sustaining peace and promoting inclusive development by providing former rebels with opportunities to rebuild their lives and become productive members of their communities.

Santos III, who served as the Guest of Honor and Speaker, with the participation of officials from the Police Regional Office 2, Department of Social Welfare and Development, Department of Agriculture, National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict, Provincial Government of Cagayan, and the 2nd Cagayan PMFC.

Central to the program was the launch of PROJECT INVINCIBLE (Innovation for Nurturing Hope and Valuing Every Friend’s Rescued and Integration into Society for New Beginnings; Collaboration with Government Agencies to Instill Discipline and Build Community Partnerships; and Leadership with Integrity to Empower for Lasting Peace and Transformation), a convergence mechanism designed to strengthen the reintegration of former rebels through coordinated government interventions and community-based support programs.

Among its key priorities is Active Community Support, which promotes stronger collaboration between law enforcement, local communities, and partner agencies in fostering peace, development, and national unity.

PGEN Nartatez emphasized the significance of empowering former rebels through sustained government intervention and community partnership.

“Peace is strengthened when people are given real opportunities to rebuild their lives, contribute to their communities, and become partners in nation-building. Programs that support reintegration help transform former conflict areas into communities of growth and progress,” said PGEN Nartatez.

He further stressed the importance of unity in sustaining the gains of peace initiatives.

“Ang tunay na kapayapaan ay nakakamit kapag ang naligaw ng landas ay nabibigyan ng bagong simula para maging katuwang sa pag-unlad ng komunidad. Patuloy nating palalakasin ang pagtutulungan ng pamahalaan at mamamayan upang mapanatili ang kapayapaan sa bawat lugar,” PGEN Nartatez said.

The Chief PNP also commended the partner agencies and local stakeholders whose collaborative efforts made the initiative possible.

“Successful reintegration programs demonstrate that lasting peace requires a whole-of-government and whole-of-community approach. By working together, we create pathways for reconciliation, development, and a more secure future for every Filipino,” he said.

“Kapag sama-sama ang pamahalaan at komunidad sa pagtulong sa mga nais magbagong-buhay, mas nagiging matatag ang pundasyon ng kapayapaan. Ang bawat pagkakataong ibinibigay natin ay hakbang tungo sa mas maayos at mas mapayapang lipunan,” he added.
