โKapag may warrant, trabaho natin na hanapin ang tao at maipatupad ito nang maayos. Hindi kailangang madaliin kung ang kailangan ay tiyakin muna ang impormasyon at tamang coordination. What matters is that we get the person, serve the warrant properly, and let the case proceed through the courts,โ the Chief PNP said.
The operations are part of the PNPโs continuing efforts to strengthen police effectiveness under its Focused Agenda, particularly through Enhanced Managing Police Operations (EMPO), which emphasizes coordinated action, timely response, and accountable police service. These efforts support the administrationโs peace and security agenda under the leadership of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.
The PNP continues to remind wanted persons to face the legal processes against them and encourages the public to provide information through proper police channels while respecting the rights and due process of all persons involved.
With sustained operations and responsible police service, the PNP remains committed to advancing Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong Mabilis, Tapat at Nararamdaman.
