PNP SERVES WARRANTS VS ACTIVE PERSONNEL IN QUEZON CITY AND DAVAO DEL NORTE, REAFFIRMS STRICT INTERNAL ACCOUNTABILITY
The Philippine National Police (PNP) has enforced separate warrants of arrest against two active police personnel in coordinated operations conducted in Quezon City and Davao del Norte on June 20, 2026, as part of its sustained efforts to uphold discipline and accountability within the organization.
In Quezon City, operatives of the Integrity Monitoring and Enforcement Group (IMEG) National Capital Region Cluster 2, in coordination with other PNP intelligence and investigative units, implemented a warrant of arrest at a hotel along Don A. Roces Avenue, Barangay Paligsahan at around mid-afternoon. The operation stemmed from a warrant issued by the Regional Trial Court in Taguig City, which carries no bail recommended.
The arrested individual is a Police Staff Sergeant assigned with the Police Security and Protection Group. He was brought to the IMEG Investigation and Detective Division for documentation and processing prior to turnover to custodial authorities and proper disposition before the issuing court. Authorities noted that the subject had been included in prior monitoring activities based on validated information that underwent proper verification consistent with internal accountability mechanisms.
In a separate operation in Sto. Tomas, Davao del Norte, combined elements of IMEG Team 11, CIDG, RIU units, and local police units served warrants of arrest against a Patrolman assigned in PRO 11. The warrants were issued by the Family Court in the Eleventh Judicial Region in connection with alleged violations of Republic Act 9262, with bail recommended by the court.
The arrested personnel was properly informed of the nature of the charges and apprised of his constitutional rights in a language he understood. He is currently under the custody of Sto. Tomas Municipal Police Station for documentation and turnover to proper judicial authorities.
PNP Chief, Police General Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., emphasized that the organization remains firm in enforcing discipline across all ranks without exception.
“Sa PNP, pantay-pantay ang batas para sa lahat. We hold our personnel accountable regardless of rank or assignment. When warrants are issued and legal basis is present, we act decisively and without hesitation. This is part of our responsibility to the Filipino people and to the institution we serve,” the Chief PNP said.
He further stated that these actions reflect ongoing institutional reforms under the PNP Focused Agenda, particularly under Integrity Monitoring, strengthening internal accountability mechanisms in support of the governance direction of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. toward a more disciplined and responsive public service.
The PNP assures the public that it remains steadfast in enforcing internal discipline while strictly observing due process, human rights, and the rule of law in all its operations.
This development reinforces the organization’s continuing commitment to a professional and accountable police service under the guiding principle of “Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong Mabilis, Tapat at Nararamdaman.”
