LIGTAS SUMVAC 2026: Ingat bago umalis—seguridad ng tahanan, sigurado ang bakasyon!

Ngayong panahon ng bakasyon, tiyaking ligtas at maayos ang inyong tahanan bago umalis. I-lock ang lahat ng pinto at bintana, patayin at i-unplug ang mga appliances, at siguraduhing sarado ang gas at gripo upang maiwasan ang aksidente. Mainam din ang paglalagay ng CCTV o alarm system para sa dagdag na seguridad, at iwasang mag-iwan ng mga palatandaan na walang tao sa bahay. Kung maaari, ipagkatiwala ang inyong tahanan sa mapagkakatiwalaang kapitbahay. Sa simpleng paghahandang ito, mas magiging panatag ang inyong bakasyon at masisiguro ang kaligtasan ng inyong pamilya at ari-arian.

PNP, NAMAHAGI NG 2.5 TONELADANG SARDINAS PARA SA MGA EVACUEES SA CAMALIG, ALBAY

Umabot sa 2.5 tonelada ng “lawlaw” o sardinas mula sa mga kaibigan ng Legazpi City Police Station (CPS) ang ipinagkaloob para sa mga pamilyang kasalukuyang nasa evacuation site sa Tagaytay, Camalig, Albay kaninang umaga, Mayo 5, 2026.

Ang nasabing donasyon ay agad na inilaan para sa mga evacuees na naapektuhan ng patuloy na ashfall mula sa aktibidad ng Bulkang Mayon, na nagresulta sa sapilitang paglikas ng mga residente mula sa danger zone.

Layunin nitong makatulong sa araw-araw na pangangailangan sa pagkain ng mga apektadong pamilya habang nananatili sila sa evacuation center.

Ayon kay Police General Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., “Sa bawat panahon ng sakuna, ang PNP ay hindi lamang tagapagpatupad ng batas kundi katuwang ng bawat Pilipino. Ang ganitong klaseng bayanihan ay patunay na hindi nag-iisa ang ating mga kababayan—nandito ang PNP, handang umalalay at tumugon agad.”

Agad na tinanggap at inihahanda para sa distribusyon ang mga donasyon upang matiyak na mabilis itong maipapamahagi sa mga nangangailangang pamilya sa evacuation site.

Ang ganitong inisyatiba ay patuloy na nagpapakita ng diwa ng bayanihan at malasakit sa gitna ng kalamidad, bilang bahagi ng Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong Mabilis, Tapat at Nararamdaman.

TWO ANTI-SMUGGLING OPS YIELD ₱8.2M IN SEIZED GOODS, 2 ARRESTS

The Philippine National Police (PNP) reported the successful conduct of two anti-smuggling operations on the evening of May 6, 2026, resulting in the seizure of illegal goods worth over ₱8.2 million and the arrest of two individuals in Misamis Oriental and Zamboanga del Sur.

In Opol, Misamis Oriental, personnel of the Opol Municipal Police Station under Police Regional Office 10 (PRO 10) acted on intelligence reports and verified suspected illegal stockpiling in Barangay Limonda. Authorities discovered about 1,500 sacks of suspected mineral ores valued at ₱2,535,000.00. One Filipino male of legal age was arrested, while other individuals fled upon arrival of the operating team. The suspect and items were brought to the police station for proper disposition.

In a separate operation in Pagadian City, Zamboanga del Sur, operatives from the Zamboanga del Sur Provincial Intelligence Unit, Pagadian City Police Station, and RMFB9 intercepted suspected smuggled ci******es through an intelligence-driven operation.

Confiscated were 92 master cases of Diamond ci******es, 7 master cases of Guiyan ci******es, and 1 master case of Huanghelou ci******es, with an estimated value of ₱5,730,000.00. A male Filipino of legal age was arrested during the operation.

The PNP said these accomplishments support the directive of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. to strengthen law enforcement against smuggling and protect the country’s economy. The operations are also in line with the PNP Focused Agenda under Enhanced Managing Police Operations.

PNP Chief, Police General Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., commended the operating units for their quick response, saying the police force will continue to act on verified intelligence to stop illegal activities at the source.

“Hindi tayo titigil sa pagsugpo ng smuggling at iba pang ilegal na gawain. Ang layunin natin ay protektahan ang ekonomiya at ang publiko,” he said.

The PNP assured the public that similar operations will continue nationwide as part of its sustained campaign against illegal activities, in support of Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong Mabilis, Tapat at Nararamdaman.

PNP INTENSIFIES CAMPAIGN VS LOOSE FI****MS, RECORDS OVER 12,000 FI****MS ACCOUNTED NATIONWIDE

The Philippine National Police (PNP) continues to strengthen its campaign against loose fi****ms, highlighting not only operational gains but also the growing cooperation of communities in ensuring safer and more secure localities.

From January 1 to April 30, 2026, the PNP recorded a total of 4,038 arrests related to violations on loose fi****ms. During the same period, 12,618 fi****ms were accounted for through confiscation, surrender, and recovery operations under Republic Act 10591, while 1,398 fi****ms were voluntarily turned over for safekeeping and proper disposition.

For April 1 to 30, 2026 alone, 1,045 individuals were arrested and 3,176 fi****ms were accounted for, while 442 fi****ms were voluntarily surrendered, reflecting continued public awareness and cooperation with authorities.

In a recent development in Balanga City, Bataan on the evening of May 4, 2026, a voluntary surrender of assorted fi****ms was facilitated through coordination with local police authorities. The fi****ms—consisting of shotguns, rifles, pistols, revolvers, and a sub-machine gun—were turned over for verification and safekeeping. The process was carried out peacefully, with the items now under secure police custody pending proper documentation and disposition.

PNP Chief, Police General Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., said the increasing number of voluntary surrenders is a clear indication of stronger public trust and shared responsibility in maintaining peace and order.

“Mas nakikita natin ngayon ang kahalagahan ng kooperasyon ng bawat isa. Hindi lang ito trabaho ng kapulisan, kundi sama-samang pagsisikap para mapanatili ang ligtas na komunidad,” he said.

He also emphasized that the campaign supports the broader direction of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. for safer communities anchored on discipline, law enforcement efficiency, and public cooperation.

As the PNP intensifies its efforts, it also noted that these initiatives are part of its preparation for the 2026 BARMM Parliamentary Elections and Sangguniang Kabataan Elections, ensuring that areas nationwide remain secure, orderly, and free from illegal fi****ms that may threaten peaceful democratic processes.

The campaign likewise aligns with the PNP Focused Agenda under Enhanced Managing Police Operations, reinforcing proactive policing and strengthened community partnership.

As the nation moves closer to the electoral period, the PNP assures the public of sustained efforts to maintain peace and order while respecting rights and due process, in support of the vision of “Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong Mabilis, Tapat at Nararamdaman.”
