TWO SUSPECTS ARRESTED IN CEBU KIDNAP-SLAY CASE

The Philippine National Police (PNP) has arrested two suspects in connection with the September 3 kidnap-slay incident in Sudlon 1, Cebu City, following focused follow-up operations that helped establish the circumstances surrounding the case.

The victim was reportedly taken from North Poblacion, Consolacion, Cebu, on September 3 and was later found dead in Sudlon 1, Cebu City. Police investigators from the Cebu City Police Office and Consolacion Municipal Police Station, with support from other investigative and intelligence units, immediately pursued leads from witnesses, CCTV footage, and vehicle information.

The investigation led authorities to trace a red vehicle allegedly linked to the incident to a rental car company. The vehicle was subsequently subjected to proper forensic examination as part of the continuing case buildup.

Two suspects were arrested separately in the early hours of September 5—one in Ermita, Cebu City, at around 3:00 a.m., and another in Cogon, Pardo, at around 5:00 a.m. The arrests were made through coordinated follow-up efforts of the operating units.

Chief PNP Police General Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr. said the development reflects the importance of timely investigation and close coordination in resolving serious cases.

“What matters now is that the investigation has moved forward. We have persons under custody, but the work does not end there. We will continue validating the evidence and making sure that the case is properly prepared for the next step in the justice process.” PGen Nartatez said.

The Chief PNP also emphasized that the police response must remain anchored on due process and respect for the rights of all persons involved as the investigation and appropriate legal proceedings continue.

The operation forms part of the PNP’s Focus Agenda, particularly Enhanced Managing Police Operations, which promotes timely, coordinated, intelligence-informed, and accountable police action. It likewise supports the administration’s commitment under President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. to strengthen public safety and ensure that law enforcement remains responsive to the needs of communities.

The PNP continues to urge the public to promptly report information that may help authorities prevent or solve crimes, while ensuring that such information is handled properly and that the rights of all parties are respected. These efforts remain part of the PNP’s continuing commitment to Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong Mabilis, Tapat at Nararamdaman.

30 ROUNDS OF .45-CALIBER AM******ON INTERCEPTED AT TACLOBAN AIRPORT

A 59-year-old male passenger was intercepted by personnel of the PNP Aviation Security Group (AVSEGROUP) after airport security screening led to the recovery of 30 rounds of live .45-caliber am******on and a magazine from his backpack at the Daniel Z. Romualdez Airport in Tacloban City.

The am******on was detected through the airport’s X-ray screening system as the passenger was preparing to board a flight to Manila. A subsequent manual inspection confirmed the presence of the am******on and magazine.

The passenger was unable to present the required documents authorizing the possession of the items and was taken into custody for possible violation of Republic Act No. 10591, or the Comprehensive Fi****ms and Am******on Regulation Act. The recovered items were secured and turned over to the appropriate PNP unit for proper disposition and documentation.

Chief PNP Police General Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr. said the incident demonstrates the importance of consistent security procedures, particularly in places where large numbers of people pass through every day.

“Security starts with doing the basics correctly and doing them every time. Sa airport, every screening matters because one careful check can prevent a potential problem from reaching the aircraft,” PGen Nartatez said.

He emphasized that the PNP will continue to support measures that keep airports and other vital facilities safe while ensuring that enforcement remains guided by law and due process.

The operation forms part of the PNP’s Focused Agenda, particularly under Enhanced Managing Police Operations, which promotes effective, responsive, and properly coordinated police action. It likewise supports the administration of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. in strengthening public safety and maintaining secure transportation hubs.

The PNP will continue to work with airport authorities and other partners to ensure that security measures are consistently observed, as it remains committed to delivering the “Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong Mabilis, Tapat at Nararamdaman” through responsible and effective police service.
