PNP STATEMENT ON THE SANDIGANBAYAN ORDER FOR THE RELEASE OF SEC. MANUEL “MANNY” BONOAN

The Philippine National Police (PNP) acknowledges the Resolution issued by the Sandiganbayan Fifth Division on September 3, 2026, ordering the release of former Secretary Manuel “Manny” Bonoan from detention.

The order follows the Court’s earlier grant of the prosecution’s motion to file amended Informations, which excluded Sec. Bonoan as an accused in the cases. As a consequence, the Court recalled the Commitment Orders previously issued against him.

The PNP respects the authority of the Sandiganbayan to evaluate the evidence and circumstances presented before it and to issue appropriate rulings based on the merits of the cases.

In keeping with its mandate and respect for judicial processes, the PNP will faithfully comply with the Court’s order. Accordingly, the PNP Health Service General Hospital has been directed to facilitate the release of Sec. Bonoan, unless he is being detained for other lawful reason, as stated in the Court’s order.

The PNP remains committed to upholding the rule of law and faithfully carrying out lawful orders of the courts.
