The Philippine National Police (PNP) continues to strengthen its campaign against environmental crimes following the successful rescue of more than ₱5.5 million worth of protected wildlife species and the arrest of a foreign national in Sarangani Province.

Authorities recovered several protected wildlife species allegedly being possessed and traded without the permits required under Republic Act No. 9147, otherwise known as the Wildlife Resources Conservation and Protection Act, which regulates the collection, possession, transport, and trade of wildlife and wildlife by-products in the country.

The arrested suspect, identified only by the alias “Son,” an Indonesian national, is facing appropriate charges for alleged violation of RA 9147.

FOUR ACCUSED IN BULACAN FLOOD CONTROL CASE ARRESTED IN WARRANT OPERATIONS

Four individuals facing charges of Malversation of Public Funds or Property through Falsification of Public Documents were arrested following separate warrant operations conducted by personnel of the Bulacan Police Provincial Office (Bulacan PPO) on June 5, 2026.

Based on reports, three of the accused—identified through their aliases as “Jun,” 51; “JP,” 41; and “Brice,” 40—were served warrants while already in detention at a facility in Quezon City.

Meanwhile, another accused, 63 years old from Bustos, Bulacan, voluntarily surrendered following coordinated tracking operations. All warrants were issued in connection with alleged irregularities involving a flood control project in Bulacan. No bail was recommended for the case.

The operations were carried out through the coordinated efforts of Bulacan PPO intelligence and police units with support from various operational teams, reflecting strengthened case build-up and focused law enforcement action in line with the Philippine National Police’s Focused Agenda under Enhanced Managing Police Operations. The initiative is aligned with the directives of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. to ensure accountability in government projects and strengthen public trust in institutions.

PNP Chief Police General Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr. lauded the operating units for the successful implementation of warrants, emphasizing that accountability in public service must be consistently upheld.

“Ang mandato ng PNP ay ipairal ang batas nang pantay para sa lahat. Hindi natin pinapalampas ang mga ganitong kaso dahil kailangan may pananagutan. Kapag may mali, dapat may kasunod na aksyon—para maprotektahan ang pondo ng bayan at manatili ang tiwala ng publiko,” he said.

All accused were informed of their constitutional rights in a language they understand and are now under proper custody pending turnover to the issuing court.

The PNP reaffirmed its commitment to a disciplined, transparent, and service-oriented organization under the banner of “Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong Mabilis, Tapat at Nararamdaman.”

JOINT PNP-AFP OPS YIELD 5 FORMER REBELS, ARMS IN SURIGAO DEL SUR

The Philippine National Police, under the leadership of PNP Chief PGEN Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., in coordination with the Armed Forces of the Philippines, facilitated the voluntary surrender of five PSR-listed (Periodic Status Report) Communist Terrorist Group members on June 2, 2026 in Brgy. Sibahay, Lanuza, Surigao del Sur.

The development stemmed from a unit-initiated counterinsurgency operation conducted by 1SAB, SAF in coordination with the 1301st Maneuver Company, Regional Mobile Force Battalion 13, other PNP units, and the Philippine Army, resulting in the peaceful surrender of an alias “Liping” and four other individuals identified under the Sub-Regional Sentro de Grabidad Wetland of the North Eastern Mindanao Regional Committee for the first quarter of CY 2026.

Surrendered during the operation were high-powered fi****ms and war materiel, including one 7.62mm light machine gun with one drum magazine and 176 rounds of ammunition; four 5.56mm rifles with 11 magazines and 360 rounds of ammunition; one M203 gr***de launcher; and four 40mm high explosive rounds, along with subversive documents and personal belongings.

The surrenderers are currently undergoing documentation for enrollment in the government’s Enhanced Comprehensive Local Integration Program to support their reintegration into mainstream society.

The development highlights sustained government efforts to weaken armed insurgent structures while encouraging individuals to abandon armed struggle and return to peaceful civilian life through continuous operations and community engagement.

The PNP Focused Agenda, a transformation framework designed to make police service more responsive, credible, and community-centered, continues to guide operational efforts, particularly under Enhanced Managing Police Operations and Active Community Support, which reinforce ongoing peacebuilding initiatives and local stakeholder engagement in conflict-affected areas.

PNP Chief PGEN Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr. stated: “We remain committed to sustaining peace and security operations that protect communities and encourage those who have been part of armed groups to return to a peaceful life.”

“Ang pagpili ng kapayapaan ay pagpili ng mas matatag na kinabukasan. Patuloy naming hinihikayat ang iba pang nasa armadong kilusan na magbalik-loob para sa kapayapaan at makibahagi sa pag-unlad ng bansa,” he added.

As the PNP sustains its intensified peace and security operations 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.”
