BAGONG SILANG NA SANGGOL, NASAGIP NG KAPULISAN SA TACLOBAN CITY

Mula sa isang paper bag sa loob ng nakaparadang multicab, isang bagong silang na sanggol ang nabigyan ng panibagong pagkakataon sa buhay matapos agad na rumesponde ang kapulisan sa Tacloban City noong gabi ng Mayo 12, 2026.

Sa ilalim ng pamumuno ni PGEN Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., muling ipinakita ng Philippine National Police ang kahalagahan ng mabilis na pag-aksyon at malasakit sa komunidad nang ligtas na marescue ng Police Regional Office 8 (PRO 😎 ang isang inabandonang sanggol sa Sta. Elena, Tacloban City.

Ayon sa ulat, dakong alas-10:32 ng gabi nang makadiskubre ang isang concerned citizen ng sanggol na nakalagay sa loob ng paper bag na iniwan sa isang nakaparadang multicab sa labas ng kanilang bahay. Agad itong ini-report sa mga awtoridad na naging daan upang makarating kaagad sa lugar ang mga miyembro ng City Mobile Force Company (CMFC) at Police Station 3 ng Tacloban City Police Office.

Sa pagdating ng mga pulis, agad nilang siniguro ang kaligtasan ng sanggol at isinagawa ang kinakailangang pagresponde upang mabigyan ito ng agarang atensyon. Kasunod nito, nakipag-ugnayan ang Women and Children Protection Desk (WCPD) sa City Social Welfare and Development Office (CSWDO) at Tacloban Rescue Unit (TACRU) para sa wastong pangangalaga at medikal na pagsusuri sa sanggol.

Batay sa paunang assessment, hindi pa napuputol ang pusod ng sanggol at may bakas pa ng tuyong dugo sa buhok nito, indikasyong ito ay kasisilang pa lamang bago iniwan sa naturang lugar.

“This rescue reflects the importance of community vigilance and immediate police response. Every child deserves protection and care,” ani PGEN Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr. “Malaking bagay ang malasakit ng mamamayan na agad nagbigay ng impormasyon sa pulisya upang mailigtas ang sanggol.”

Dagdag pa ni PGEN Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., “The PNP remains committed to protecting the vulnerable and responding to situations that threaten life and safety.” Aniya, “Hindi lamang pagpapatupad ng batas ang tungkulin ng kapulisan kundi maging pag-aaruga at pagprotekta sa mga nangangailangan ng agarang tulong.”

Ipinakita rin ng insidenteng ito ang patuloy na pagpapatibay ng PNP sa mas makatao at mas malapit na ugnayan sa komunidad sa ilalim ng PNP Focused Agenda—isang gabay tungo sa mas maayos at mas responsive na serbisyo-pulisya. Sa pamamagitan ng Enhanced Managing Police Operations at Active Community Support, mas napapalawak ang kakayahan ng kapulisan na makaresponde agad sa mga sitwasyong nangangailangan ng agarang aksyon at malasakit sa mamamayan.

Habang nagpapatuloy ang imbestigasyon upang matukoy kung sino ang nag-iwan sa sanggol, tiniyak ng PRO 8 na mananatiling prayoridad ang kaligtasan at kapakanan ng bata habang ito ay nasa pangangalaga ng mga kinauukulang ahensya.

Sa patuloy na pagpapaigting ng PNP sa pagprotekta sa buhay at kapakanan ng bawat mamamayan, tinitiyak ng kapulisan sa publiko ang “Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong mabilis, tapat, at nararamdaman.”

PNP MOURNS FALLEN COP IN NEGROS OCCIDENTAL ANTI-DRUG OPERATION

The Philippine National Police, under the leadership of PNP Chief PGEN Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., expresses deep sorrow over the death of a police non-commissioned officer and the injury of two other personnel following a violent encounter during a buy-bust operation conducted on the evening of May 11, 2026 in Barangay Talaptap, La Castellana, Negros Occidental.

Personnel of the Station Drug Enforcement Team of La Castellana Municipal Police Station conducted an anti-illegal drug operation against a 41-year-old male street-level drug suspect. During the arrest, the suspect violently resisted and suddenly attacked the operating personnel using a bladed weapon. In a further escalation, the suspect’s 68-year-old mother allegedly joined the assault and assaulted the responding officers using bladed weapons.

The encounter resulted in the death of one police non-commissioned officer due to fatal stab wounds sustained during the attack. A deputy police officer sustained multiple stab wounds and is currently confined in stable condition at a hospital in Bacolod City, while another operative suffered minor injuries. The suspect sustained injuries and is now under police custody at a local health facility, while the female co-accused is likewise under police custody pending the filing of appropriate criminal charges.

Recovered from the operation were several sachets of suspected shabu with an estimated street drug value of ₱47,600.00, along with buy-bust money, drug paraphernalia, and bladed weapons believed to have been used during the confrontation. The crime scene was immediately secured, while forensic personnel from the Negros Island Region conducted proper processing and documentation. Investigation and preparation of charges are ongoing.

“This incident underscores the grave risks our personnel face in the performance of their duty. We honor the bravery and sacrifice of our fallen officer who gave his life in the service of the Filipino people,” said PNP Chief PGEN Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr.

“Hindi matitinag ang PNP sa pagtupad ng aming tungkulin laban sa ilegal na droga at karahasan. Sisiguraduhin naming makakamit ang hustisya para sa ating nasawing kapulisan,” dagdag pa ni PGEN Nartatez.

The incident also underscores the operational risks faced by personnel conducting anti-illegal drug operations.

“Patuloy ang aming paninindigan na protektahan ang komunidad sa kabila ng panganib na kinakaharap ng aming hanay. Sa kabila ng trahedyang ito, mananatiling matatag ang PNP sa pagsugpo sa ilegal na droga at krimen,” PGEN Nartatez stated.

As the PNP sustains its intensified operations against illegal drugs under the directive of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr., the organization continues to assure the public of “Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong mabilis, tapat, at nararamdaman.”

WARRANTS SERVED AGAINST CTG PERSONALITY FOLLOWING SECURITY OPERATION IN MASBATE

The Philippine National Police (PNP), through the Police Regional Office 5 (PRO5), successfully implemented multiple outstanding warrants of arrest against a ranking member of a communist terrorist group (CTG) following an armed encounter in Palanas, Masbate.

The suspect, identified only through the alias “Luding,” 58 years old, was apprehended after government troops encountered armed CTG members during security operations in Barangay Miabas on May 10, 2026. The suspect sustained injuries during the encounter and was immediately provided medical attention.

Police units in Masbate subsequently coordinated the implementation of multiple warrants involving cases for murder and attempted murder issued by different courts over the past years.

The operation highlights the strong coordination between the PNP and the Armed Forces of the Philippines in sustaining peace and order efforts in the region. It also supports the whole-of-nation approach of the administration of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. in addressing insurgency and protecting communities.

PNP Chief Police General Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr. commended the operating units for the successful implementation of the warrants.

“Patuloy nating ipatutupad ang batas nang may katatagan, ngunit laging may paggalang sa karapatang pantao at due process. We remain committed to protecting communities and ensuring that those facing criminal charges are properly brought before the courts,” PGen Nartatez said.

The PNP assured the public that it will continue to work closely with partner agencies in preserving peace and public safety under the vision of Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong Mabilis, Tapat at Nararamdaman.
