PNP STATEMENT ON THE SANDIGANBAYAN ORDER FOR THE RELEASE OF SEC. MANUEL “MANNY” BONOAN

The Philippine National Police (PNP) acknowledges the Resolution issued by the Sandiganbayan Fifth Division on September 3, 2026, ordering the release of former Secretary Manuel “Manny” Bonoan from detention.

The order follows the Court’s earlier grant of the prosecution’s motion to file amended Informations, which excluded Sec. Bonoan as an accused in the cases. As a consequence, the Court recalled the Commitment Orders previously issued against him.

The PNP respects the authority of the Sandiganbayan to evaluate the evidence and circumstances presented before it and to issue appropriate rulings based on the merits of the cases.

In keeping with its mandate and respect for judicial processes, the PNP will faithfully comply with the Court’s order. Accordingly, the PNP Health Service General Hospital has been directed to facilitate the release of Sec. Bonoan, unless he is being detained for other lawful reason, as stated in the Court’s order.

The PNP remains committed to upholding the rule of law and faithfully carrying out lawful orders of the courts.

The Philippine National Police (PNP), under the command of PNP Chief PGEN Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., arrested seven Most Wanted Persons in separate operations across the country on September 2 and 3, 2026, involving serious sexual crimes and violations of Republic Act No. 9262, or the Anti-Violence Against Women and Their Children Act.

On September 3, police arrested four Most Wanted Persons in Isabela, Agusan del Sur, Valenzuela City, and Zamboanga del Sur. The arrests involved a No. 4 Most Wanted Person at the provincial level of Police Regional Office 2 (PRO 2) for violation of RA 9262, a bailable offense; a No. 6 Most Wanted Person of Police Regional Office 13 (PRO 13) for two counts of Statutory R**e, with no bail recommended; a No. 8 Most Wanted Person of the National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) for seven counts of RA 9262 violations and service of sentence; and a No. 8 Most Wanted Person of Police Regional Office 9 (PRO 9) for R**e, with no bail recommended.

Separately, Police Regional Office 10 (PRO 10) arrested three Regional-Level Most Wanted Persons on September 2: alias “Arlie,” 21, No. 9, for R**e in Valencia City; alias “Sidro,” 56, No. 2, for four counts of Statutory R**e in Jimenez; and alias “Van,” 29, No. 1, for four counts of R**e in Iligan City, all with no bail recommended.

The seven arrested persons are now under police custody for documentation and proper legal disposition following the implementation of warrants of arrest issued by the courts.

The arrests reinforce the PNP Focused Agenda, particularly Enhanced Managing Police Operations, by strengthening efforts to locate wanted persons and bring them before the law.

“We will remain relentless in pursuing individuals wanted for serious crimes. Our police units will work within the law to locate them and ensure that they face the proper judicial process,” said PGEN Nartatez.

“Patuloy nating tututukan ang mga kasong kinasasangkutan ng karahasan at pang-aabuso. Ang bawat warrant ay ipatutupad at ang mga akusado ay haharap sa proseso ng batas,” he added.

As the PNP strengthens its pursuit of wanted persons and protection of victims of serious crimes 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.”

🧠 NIHILISM AT MISANTHROPY: PAG-UNAWA SA MGA PANANAW

Ang nihilism ay pananaw na maaaring magtanong o magduda sa kahulugan, layunin, o halaga ng buhay. Samantala, ang misanthropy ay matinding kawalan ng tiwala o negatibong pananaw sa sangkatauhan.

Mahalagang maunawaan ang mga ganitong pananaw nang may bukas na isip at paggalang. Sa kabila ng mga pagsubok at pagkadismaya, mahalaga pa rin ang pagkakaroon ng positibong ugnayan, malasakit sa kapwa, at paghahanap ng makabuluhang layunin sa buhay.

Piliing umunawa, makinig, at magbigay ng pag-asa sa isa't isa. 🤝

BIG-TIME CTG SETBACK: REBEL MEMBER SURRENDERS, GUN TURNED OVER IN BUKIDNON

The Philippine National Police, under the command of PNP Chief PGEN Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., secured another significant gain in its efforts to encourage members of the Communist Terrorist Group (CTG) to abandon armed activities, following the voluntary surrender of a CTG member in San Fernando, Bukidnon on August 26, 2026.

Personnel of the 1st Special Action Battalion (1SAB), Special Action Force (SAF), provided tactical support to the 1003rd Maneuver Company, Regional Mobile Force Battalion 10, and other PNP units during the facilitation of the surrender of a.k.a. Math/Saudi, a Periodic Status Report (PSR)-listed CTG member under Squad 2, Platoon Pulang Baganing Yunit of the dismantled Guerilla Front 89, Sub-Regional Committee, in Barangay Halapitan.

Upon surrender, the former CTG member turned over one improvised 5.56mm revolver loaded with four rounds of am******on. He is now undergoing documentation and processing for possible enrollment in the Enhanced Comprehensive Local Integration Program (E-CLIP), which provides returning CTG members an opportunity to rebuild their lives through lawful means.

“This surrender demonstrates that peaceful and lawful options remain open to those who choose to leave armed conflict behind. We will sustain our efforts to facilitate their safe return while ensuring that public safety and the rule of law remain firmly upheld,” PGEN Nartatez said.

“Mas mabuting piliin ang kapayapaan kaysa manatili sa armadong pakikibaka. Hinihikayat natin ang iba pang miyembro ng CTG na samantalahin ang pagkakataong magbalik-loob at magsimula muli bilang bahagi ng mapayapang pamayanan,” he added.

The operation reflects the PNP Focused Agenda, a framework for transformation designed to strengthen responsive police service and reinforce its commitment to public safety. The effort directly supports Active Community Support by creating avenues for CTG members to peacefully return to the fold of the law.

As the PNP strengthens its efforts to promote peace and protect communities 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.”

P21.5-M SMUGGLED CI******ES SEIZED, 7 ARRESTED IN MINDANAO OPS

The Philippine National Police (PNP) strengthened its enforcement efforts against the movement of smuggled goods after separate operations in Mindanao led to the recovery of more than P21.5 million worth of smuggled ci******es and the arrest of seven individuals from September 1 to the early hours of September 2.

In Parang, Maguindanao del Norte, police personnel intercepted a vehicle at a checkpoint at around 11:40 AM on September 1, resulting in the recovery of 250 master cases of smuggled ci******es with an estimated market value of P14 million. Two Filipino men, aged 39 and 32, were arrested in the operation.

Later that day, police in Iligan City conducted a checkpoint operation that resulted in the recovery of 2,082 reams of smuggled ci******es valued at approximately P1.67 million. Four Filipino men, aged 20 to 37, were arrested, while two vans believed to have been used to transport the shipment were secured.

In a separate operation in Opol, Misamis Oriental, at around 2:00 AM on September 2, police intercepted a 28-year-old Filipino man and recovered 117 master cases of smuggled ci******es worth approximately P5.85 million.

The seized cigarette products were turned over to the Bureau of Customs (BOC) for proper documentation, safekeeping, and disposition. The persons arrested were subjected to appropriate procedures pending the outcome of the proceedings.

PNP Chief Police General Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr. said the operations demonstrate the value of sustained police presence and close coordination with partner agencies in addressing the movement of illicit goods.

“Hindi lang ito tungkol sa mga nakumpiskang produkto. It is about making sure that illegal shipments do not find an easy path into our communities and markets. We will keep working with the Bureau of Customs and our other partners, act on reliable information, and make sure every operation is done properly and within the bounds of the law,” PGen Nartatez said.

The operations are part of the PNP’s Focused Agenda, particularly under Enhanced Managing Police Operations (EMPO), which calls for coordinated and responsive police action against activities that may affect public safety and legitimate economic activity.

The PNP continues to support the administration of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. in strengthening law enforcement and inter-agency cooperation while ensuring that police operations uphold due process and respect the rights of all persons involved.

As the PNP sustains its efforts against the illicit movement of goods, it remains committed to delivering “Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong Mabilis, Tapat at Nararamdaman,” through professional, accountable, and responsive police service.
