PNP INTENSIFIES EARTHQUAKE RESPONSE OPERATIONS AS RESCUE AND RELIEF EFFORTS CONTINUE IN AFFECTED AREAS

The Philippine National Police (PNP) continues to intensify and sustain its coordinated disaster response operations following the Magnitude 7.8 earthquake that affected parts of Mindanao, as government efforts transition from immediate rescue to sustained relief, security support, and early recovery as of 2:00 PM today.

This marks the continuing phase of deployment where police units remain fully mobilized across evacuation centers, affected communities, and critical infrastructure sites to ensure public safety and support humanitarian assistance efforts.

A total of 2,488 PNP personnel remain deployed nationwide for disaster response operations, with units from concerned regional offices actively assisting in evacuation management, security coverage, and coordination with local government units and partner agencies.

Evacuation assistance remains extensive, with 1,705 evacuation centers activated and 37 currently occupied, sheltering over 5,900 families and more than 22,900 individuals. Police personnel continue to help maintain order and support relief distribution to ensure orderly and safe conditions in temporary shelters.

Search, Rescue and Retrieval (SRR) operations remain ongoing with six coordinated missions conducted to date. Authorities report 147 individuals rescued and 15 bodies retrieved. Reported fatalities are subject for validation by the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC), in coordination with concerned agencies, as part of standard verification procedures.

Civilian casualties, including reports of injuries and missing persons, are likewise undergoing validation and documentation to ensure accurate reporting. No casualties have been reported among PNP personnel.

Infrastructure impact continues to be monitored, with damage reported in commercial establishments, government facilities, schools, hospitals, bridges, residential houses, and places of worship. Transportation disruptions were also recorded, including 16 cancelled flights and limited airport facility damage in affected areas, while select road networks and bridges remain under assessment for safety clearance.

Power interruptions were likewise reported in isolated areas, including parts of Sarangani, while logistics and mobility challenges persist in some localities due to temporarily impassable routes.

Despite damage to several police facilities, including stations and regional offices, the PNP confirmed that operational capability remains unaffected, supported by available mobility assets, communication equipment, and standby logistics support.

Law and order monitoring remains stable, with no reported incidents of looting or other security-related disturbances as of this reporting period, reflecting sustained police visibility and coordination with local authorities.

Chief, PNP Police General Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr. reaffirmed the organization’s continued commitment to rapid response and public assistance.

“Patuloy tayong naka-deploy sa mga apektadong lugar upang tiyakin ang kaligtasan ng bawat isa. Ang PNP ay nandito hindi lamang para tumugon sa rescue efforts kundi para siguraduhing maayos, ligtas, at kontrolado ang sitwasyon habang nagpapatuloy ang ating coordinated response,” he said.

The ongoing nationwide response is aligned with the PNP Focused Agenda under Enhanced Managing Police Operations, in support of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.’s directive for a unified, efficient, and responsive disaster management approach across government agencies.

The PNP likewise emphasizes that this sustained operational posture is part of its continuing commitment under “Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong Mabilis, Tapat at Nararamdaman,” ensuring consistent, visible, and dependable police service throughout the disaster response and recovery period.

SA LIKOD NG UNIPORME, PAG-ASA ANG HATID NG PNP SA PAMILYANG KATUTUBO

Minsan, sapat na ang isang simpleng kabutihan upang magbigay ng bagong pag-asa at inspirasyon sa isang pamilya.

Sa ilalim ng pamumuno ni PGEN Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., ipinakita ng Philippine National Police (PNP) na ang paglilingkod ay hindi lamang nasusukat sa pagpapatupad ng batas kundi maging sa pag-abot ng tulong sa mga nangangailangan.

Noong Hunyo 4, 2026, personal na nagtungo si PMAJ Janice R. Piga, Acting Chief ng Police Community Affairs and Development Unit (PCADU), sa isang komunidad ng mga katutubo sa Sitio Bihawo, Brgy. Villar, Botolan, Zambales upang maghatid ng mga school supplies at iba pang kagamitang pampaaralan para sa apat na kabataang naghahanda sa nalalapit na pagbubukas ng klase.

Sa gitna ng mga hamon na kinahaharap ng pamilya, ang munting tulong na ito ay naging malaking hakbang upang mapalapit ang mga kabataan sa kanilang mga pangarap. Ang mga benepisyaryo, na kasalukuyang nasa Grade 5, Grade 8, at Grade 10, ay nabigyan hindi lamang ng mga gamit sa paaralan kundi maging ng lakas ng loob na ipagpatuloy ang kanilang pag-aaral at mangarap nang mas mataas.

Ayon kay PMAJ Piga, mahalagang maramdaman ng mga kabataan na may mga taong handang umalalay sa kanilang paglalakbay tungo sa mas magandang kinabukasan. Aniya, ang edukasyon ay nananatiling isa sa pinakamahalagang daan upang mabigyan ng mas maraming oportunidad ang mga kabataan at kanilang mga pamilya.

Samantala, binigyang-diin ni PNP Chief PGEN Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr. ang mahalagang papel ng edukasyon sa paghubog ng mas magandang kinabukasan para sa mga kabataan.

“Education is one of the most powerful investments we can make for the future. Kapag natutulungan nating makapagpatuloy sa pag-aaral ang mga kabataan, binibigyan din natin sila ng pagkakataong baguhin ang takbo ng kanilang buhay,” pahayag ni PGEN Nartatez.

“Small acts of compassion can make a meaningful difference. Ang bawat tulong na naiaabot natin ay paalala na may mga taong handang sumuporta sa kanilang paglalakbay tungo sa mas magandang bukas,” dagdag pa niya.

Ang inisyatibang ito ay kaakibat ng PNP Focused Agenda—isang direksiyon ng pagbabago na naglalayong gawing mas makabuluhan at mas malapit sa mamamayan ang serbisyo-pulisya. Kabilang sa mga pangunahing prayoridad nito ang Active Community Support, na nakatuon sa pagpapalakas ng ugnayan ng kapulisan at komunidad sa pamamagitan ng mga programang may direktang positibong epekto sa buhay ng mga mamamayan.

Sa bawat tulong na naihahatid at bawat pangarap na nabibigyang pag-asa, patuloy na pinatutunayan ng PNP na ang tunay na serbisyo ay hindi lamang nakikita sa pagpapanatili ng kapayapaan at kaayusan kundi maging sa pag-aaruga sa kinabukasan ng mga kabataang Pilipino.

Habang patuloy na nagsusulong ang PNP ng mga programang nagpapalakas sa kapakanan at kinabukasan ng mga komunidad, tinitiyak nito sa publiko ang katuparan ng adhikain ng “Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong Mabilis, Tapat, at Nararamdaman.”

PNP ARRESTS 3 IN TUGUEGARAO CRUDE OIL THEFT; FI****MS, SHABU SEIZED

The Philippine National Police (PNP), under the leadership of PNP Chief, PGEN Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., arrested three individuals and seized fi****ms, equipment allegedly used in crude oil theft, and suspected illegal drugs during an operation conducted on June 5, 2026, in Brgy. Libag Norte, Tuguegarao City.

Acting on information obtained through CCTV surveillance from the Tuguegarao Command Center, authorities monitored a white Hi-Ace commuter van allegedly linked to a series of crude oil theft incidents in the city. Upon reaching Maharlika Highway in Brgy. Libag Norte, one of the occupants was observed entering the perimeter of a facility, prompting an immediate police response and the deployment of SWAT units, which resulted in the arrest of three male suspects from Tabuk City, Kalinga.

Recovered from the suspects were two improvised caliber .22 rifles, 12 rounds of ammunition, two mobile phones, 11 empty gallons, two hoses believed to have been used for siphoning crude oil, and a vehicle license plate. Authorities also recovered five heat-sealed plastic sachets containing suspected shabu, all of which were properly secured for forensic examination.

All recovered items were inventoried at the scene in the presence of the suspects, a barangay official, and a representative from the Department of Justice, in accordance with established procedures. The suspects were subsequently brought to P*P Downtown for documentation and further investigation.

The operation underscores the PNP’s Focused Agenda, a transformation framework aimed at making police service more responsive and accountable, particularly through Enhanced Managing Police Operations, which strengthens field response and intelligence-driven actions against theft and other illegal activities affecting critical resources and public welfare.

The suspects will face charges for Attempted Theft, violation of Republic Act No. 10591 (Comprehensive Fi****ms and Ammunition Regulation Act), and violation of Republic Act No. 9165 (Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002). Further investigation is ongoing to identify possible accomplices and determine links to other related incidents.

PNP Chief, PGEN Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., emphasized that the organization will not tolerate criminal groups that exploit vulnerabilities in society.

“Hindi namin papayagan na samantalahin ng mga kriminal ang sitwasyon ng ating lipunan,” PGEN Nartatez said.

“The PNP will continue sustained operations to protect critical resources and maintain public safety,” he added.

As the PNP intensifies its campaign against theft and illegal drug-related activities 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.”
