PNP INTERCEPTS OVER ₱6.9-M WORTH OF SMUGGLED CI******ES IN ZAMBOANGA OPERATIONS

The Philippine National Police (PNP) sustained its campaign against smuggling with the successful interception of more than ₱6.9 million worth of suspected smuggled ci******es in separate law enforcement operations conducted in Zamboanga Sibugay and Zamboanga del Sur from August 1 to 2.

The operations resulted in the arrest of two Filipino suspects, including a 52-year-old individual, and the confiscation of 122 master cases of suspected smuggled ci******es with an estimated total value of ₱6,990,400.00. Authorities also recovered a vehicle and an unmarked motorized fishing boat believed to have been used in the transport of the contraband.

The arrested individuals and the seized items are now under police custody pending the filing of appropriate charges.

The accomplishments reflect the PNP's continuing efforts to curb the entry and movement of smuggled goods, which undermine legitimate businesses and deprive the government of lawful revenues. These operations are part of the organization's intensified law enforcement initiatives under the Enhanced Managing Police Operations pillar of the PNP Focused Agenda, supporting the directive of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. to strengthen border security and combat all forms of illegal trade.

Chief, PNP, Police General Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr. commended the operating units for their coordinated efforts and reaffirmed the organization's commitment to enforcing the law with professionalism.

It is about protecting the country's economy, ensuring fair competition for legitimate businesses, and holding accountable those who choose to violate our laws. Patuloy nating paiigtingin ang ating operasyon habang tinitiyak na ang bawat aksyon ng ating kapulisan ay naaayon sa batas at may paggalang sa karapatan ng lahat."

The PNP assured the public that it will continue to work closely with partner agencies to prevent the movement of smuggled products across the country, reinforcing its commitment to Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong Mabilis, Tapat at Nararamdaman.

PNP SEIZES ₱15.3-M WORTH OF ALLEGED SMUGGLED CI******ES IN DAVAO CITY

The Philippine National Police (PNP) reported the confiscation of more than ₱15.3 million worth of alleged smuggled ci******es following a law enforcement operation conducted in Davao City, underscoring the government's continuing campaign against illicit trade and economic crimes.

The operation, carried out by the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) in coordination with the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) Region XI and local police units, resulted in the arrest of a 35-year-old male suspect known by the alias "Prin."

Authorities also recovered hundreds of master cases and reams of alleged smuggled ci******es believed to have entered the country without the required government clearances and tax markings.

Initial investigation showed that the seized to***co products allegedly lacked the mandatory Graphic Health Warnings, BIR Excise Tax Stamps, and the necessary import clearance from the National To***co Administration, indicating possible violations of existing laws.

The operation forms part of the PNP's intensified efforts to curb economic offenses under its Focused Agenda, particularly through enhanced police operations aimed at protecting legitimate businesses, safeguarding government revenues, and supporting the national drive for economic security.

It also complements the broader direction of the administration of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. to strengthen law enforcement against illegal trade and protect the country's economy.

Chief, PNP, Police General Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr. commended the operating units for their coordinated efforts and reaffirmed the PNP's commitment to pursuing individuals involved in illicit commercial activities.

"Hindi lang gobyerno ang nalulugi sa ganitong uri ng ilegal na gawain. Apektado rin ang mga lehitimong negosyo at ang serbisyong dapat napapakinabangan ng taumbayan. Patuloy nating paiigtingin ang ating operasyon laban sa mga lumalabag sa batas habang tinitiyak na ang lahat ng aksyon ng PNP ay naaayon sa batas at may paggalang sa karapatan ng bawat isa," PGen Nartatez said.

He added, "Our message is clear: we will continue working with our partner agencies to protect the country's lawful commerce and hold accountable those who choose to profit from illegal activities."

The PNP assured the public that it will continue working closely with concerned government agencies to combat illicit trade and other forms of economic crimes as part of its commitment to Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong Mabilis, Tapat, at Nararamdaman.

₱22-M ILLEGAL DRUGS WIPED OUT IN ONE-DAY NATIONWIDE PNP OPS; HIGH-VALUE DRUG SUSPECT NABBED

The Philippine National Police, under the leadership of PNP Chief PGEN Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., dealt another significant blow to the illegal drug trade through one-day nationwide anti-illegal drug operations on July 31, 2026, resulting in the confiscation and destruction of illegal drugs with a total standard drug price of PhP22,068,800.00 and the arrest of one High-Value Drug Suspect.

The largest accomplishment came from separate ma*****na eradication operations in Barangays Loccong and Buscalan, Tinglayan, Kalinga, where joint operations involving the PNP and partner government agencies led to the discovery, uprooting, and on-site destruction of approximately 94,500 fully grown ma*****na plants (FGMJPs) valued at PhP18,900,000.00. Although no cultivators were apprehended, the operations prevented the illegal crops from entering the supply chain and curtailed ma*****na production in the area.

In Barangay Lilod Baklayan, Ditsaan Ramain, Lanao del Sur, a buy-bust operation resulted in the arrest of a male High-Value Drug Suspect and the confiscation of approximately 466 grams of suspected shabu with a standard drug price of PhP3,168,800.00. During the operation, an armed confrontation ensued after an armed cohort identified only by the alias “Alnor” engaged the operating personnel. The suspect sustained gunshot wounds and was later declared dead on arrival at a medical facility.

The nationwide accomplishments underscore the sustained implementation of the PNP Focused Agenda, a strategic direction for organizational transformation that strengthens the organization’s capability to address evolving peace and order challenges. Anchored on the key priority of Enhanced Managing Police Operations, the PNP remains committed to sustaining intelligence-driven and results-oriented operations against illegal drugs.

“Illegal drugs remain a serious threat to public safety, and we will relentlessly pursue those who profit from this criminal enterprise. Every successful operation strengthens our resolve to protect Filipino communities from the harmful effects of narcotics,” said PGEN Nartatez.

“Walang puwang ang ilegal na droga sa ating mga komunidad. Patuloy nating hahabulin ang mga sangkot at pananagutin sila ayon sa batas,” PGEN Nartatez added.

PGEN Nartatez likewise commended the operating units and partner agencies whose collective efforts contributed to the successful operations, emphasizing that sustained collaboration and intelligence-sharing remain vital in dismantling illegal drug networks and denying criminals the opportunity to thrive.

As the PNP intensifies its nationwide campaign against illegal drugs and other forms of criminality under the directive of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr., it assures the public of “Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong Mabilis, Tapat, at Nararamdaman.”

ALBULARYO FALLS IN CAVITE GUN BUST; 3 LOOSE FI****MS SEIZED

The Philippine National Police (PNP), under the leadership of PGEN Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., intensified its campaign against loose fi****ms following the arrest of a 72-year-old Filipino male known by the alias “Nilo” during the implementation of a search warrant for violation of Republic Act No. 10591, or the Comprehensive Fi****ms and Ammunition Regulation Act, on July 29, 2026, in Barangay Pasong Kawayan I, General Trias City, Cavite.

Operatives of the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) Cavite Provincial Field Unit served the search warrant, resulting in the confiscation of three loose fi****ms consisting of one caliber .45 pistol, one caliber .357 revolver, and one caliber .22 revolver, along with assorted magazines and ammunition. The suspect was taken into custody after authorities established that he had no license or permit to possess the fi****ms.

Further investigation revealed that the suspect is a known albularyo in the locality who allegedly sold agimat or amulets which he claimed could protect buyers from bullets. Authorities also gathered information that he allegedly demonstrated the supposed power of the amulets by publicly firing fi****ms, an act that had caused fear and alarm among residents in the community.

PGEN Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr. underscored the PNP’s unwavering commitment to enforcing firearm laws and protecting communities from the dangers posed by loose fi****ms.

“The unlawful possession of fi****ms undermines peace and public safety. We will relentlessly pursue individuals who choose to violate our laws and put communities at risk,” PGEN Nartatez said.

“Walang sinuman ang maaaring magtago sa likod ng anumang paniniwala para labagin ang batas. Kapag may ilegal na baril, kikilos ang PNP upang mapanatili ang kaayusan at maprotektahan ang ating mga kababayan,” he added.

The operation reflects the PNP Focused Agenda, a strategic framework for organizational transformation that advances responsive and effective policing. Among its key priorities is Enhanced Managing Police Operations, which drives sustained intelligence-based law enforcement efforts against illegal fi****ms and other threats to public safety.

The arrest likewise highlights the PNP’s sustained drive to account for loose fi****ms that may be used to intimidate communities or facilitate criminal activities. By aggressively implementing search warrants and enforcing firearm regulations, the PNP remains steadfast in preventing lawless elements from exploiting illegal weapons to endanger lives and disrupt public order.

As the PNP strengthens its campaign against loose fi****ms and other criminal activities under the directive of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr., it assures the public of “Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong Mabilis, Tapat, at Nararamdaman.”

23 CHILDREN SAVED, 6 FALL IN PNP’S NATIONWIDE ANTI-ONLINE CHILD EXPLOITATION DRIVE

The Philippine National Police, under the leadership of PNP Chief PGEN Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., rescued 23 children and arrested six suspects in a series of nationwide operations against Online Sexual Abuse or Exploitation of Children (OSAEC) and Child Sexual Abuse or Exploitation Materials (CSAEM) conducted from July 14 to 25, 2026, underscoring the organization’s sustained campaign to protect children from online exploitation and hold offenders accountable.

The operations, led by the Philippine National Police Women and Children Protection Center (PNP-WCPC), were carried out in Nueva Ecija, Pampanga, Cebu, Negros Occidental, Davao del Sur, and Misamis Occidental. They resulted in the rescue of 23 child victims and children at risk, the arrest of six suspects, and the seizure of mobile phones, computers, storage devices, and other digital evidence expected to strengthen the investigation and prosecution of individuals involved in the production and distribution of OSAEC and CSAEM.

The successful operations stemmed from domestic and international intelligence referrals and were conducted through joint operations with local police units, the Department of Justice, the Department of Social Welfare and Development, the Philippine Internet Crimes Against Children Center (PICACC), barangay officials, foreign law enforcement partners, and child protection organizations. Among those rescued were infants, toddlers, and minors who were allegedly exploited by persons entrusted with their care, including parents and close relatives who reportedly facilitated the production and distribution of child sexual abuse materials in exchange for money from foreign offenders.

Authorities are pursuing criminal charges under Republic Act No. 11930 and other applicable laws against the arrested suspects. In one operation, charges for Qualified Trafficking in Persons under Republic Act No. 9208, as amended, will likewise be filed. All rescued children were immediately turned over to the appropriate social welfare agencies for medical assessment, psychosocial intervention, protective custody, and long-term recovery services.

The accomplishment reflects the PNP’s Focused Agenda, a strategic direction for organizational transformation that strengthens police service through intelligence-driven and responsive law enforcement. At the heart of this effort is the key priority of Enhanced Managing Police Operations, reinforcing the PNP’s capability to prevent crimes and protect the country’s most vulnerable sectors.

“The rescue of these children demonstrates our unwavering resolve to protect every Filipino child from exploitation and abuse. We will relentlessly pursue those who prey on the innocent and ensure that every offender is brought before the courts to answer for these crimes,” said PGen Nartatez.

“Hindi kami titigil hangga’t may batang nalalagay sa panganib. Ang bawat batang naililigtas ay isang buhay na nabibigyan ng panibagong pag-asa at mas ligtas na kinabukasan,” he added.

As the PNP intensifies its fight against online child sexual exploitation and other crimes that threaten the welfare of Filipino children under the directive of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr., it assures the public of “Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong Mabilis, Tapat, at Nararamdaman.”
