UNIFIED 911 ALERT: 911 CALL LEADS TO ARREST OF BJMP PERSONNEL FOR ALLEGED FIREARM THREAT, INDISCRIMINATE FIRING

The Philippine National Police, under the command of PGEN Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., arrested a 31-year-old Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) personnel for alleged violation of Republic Act No. 11926 or the Anti-Indiscriminate Firing Act, Grave Threat under Article 282, and Alarms and Scandals under Article 155 of the Revised Penal Code in Barangay 68, Tondo, Manila on May 15, 2026.

The arrest stemmed from an emergency report received through the Unified 911 system.

Investigation disclosed that operatives of Don Bosco Police Community Precinct immediately responded after receiving a unified 911 call regarding alleged indiscriminate firing inside a residential area. Upon arrival, the 46-year-old female victim narrated that the suspect, reportedly intoxicated, appeared in front of their residence while searching for his girlfriend and later entered the victim’s residence. The suspect allegedly pointed a firearm at the victim before firing a shot at the ground, causing alarm within the community.

A follow-up operation conducted by responding personnel resulted in the arrest of the suspect later that day at his residence in Barangay 121, Tondo, Manila. Recovered from his possession were one caliber 9mm pistol, one magazine loaded with five live rounds of ammunition, one fired slug, a firearm license, and a License to Own and Possess Fi****ms (LTOPF).

The arrested suspect was informed of his constitutional rights in Tagalog and opted to remain silent. He was subsequently brought to G*t Andres Bonifacio Medical Center for mandatory physical examination. Authorities are now preparing the necessary documents for inquest proceedings before the Manila Prosecutor’s Office.

PGEN Nartatez emphasized that government-issued authority to possess fi****ms must never be abused for intimidation, recklessness, or personal interest. “The PNP will not tolerate irresponsible firearm use, especially when it endangers innocent lives and disturbs public order. Accountability applies to everyone regardless of profession or affiliation,” he said. He added, “Hindi lisensya ang posisyon para gawin ang gusto mo. Ang sinumang lalabag sa batas ay mananagot.”

The operation also highlights the importance of immediate police response and active public reporting through the Unified 911 system, which contributed to the swift apprehension of the suspect and the prevention of further disturbance within the community.

As the PNP continues to intensify its efforts against unlawful acts involving fi****ms and maintain peace and security in 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.”

BAGONG SILANG NA SANGGOL, NASAGIP NG KAPULISAN SA TACLOBAN CITY

Mula sa isang paper bag sa loob ng nakaparadang multicab, isang bagong silang na sanggol ang nabigyan ng panibagong pagkakataon sa buhay matapos agad na rumesponde ang kapulisan sa Tacloban City noong gabi ng Mayo 12, 2026.

Sa ilalim ng pamumuno ni PGEN Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., muling ipinakita ng Philippine National Police ang kahalagahan ng mabilis na pag-aksyon at malasakit sa komunidad nang ligtas na marescue ng Police Regional Office 8 (PRO 😎 ang isang inabandonang sanggol sa Sta. Elena, Tacloban City.

Ayon sa ulat, dakong alas-10:32 ng gabi nang makadiskubre ang isang concerned citizen ng sanggol na nakalagay sa loob ng paper bag na iniwan sa isang nakaparadang multicab sa labas ng kanilang bahay. Agad itong ini-report sa mga awtoridad na naging daan upang makarating kaagad sa lugar ang mga miyembro ng City Mobile Force Company (CMFC) at Police Station 3 ng Tacloban City Police Office.

Sa pagdating ng mga pulis, agad nilang siniguro ang kaligtasan ng sanggol at isinagawa ang kinakailangang pagresponde upang mabigyan ito ng agarang atensyon. Kasunod nito, nakipag-ugnayan ang Women and Children Protection Desk (WCPD) sa City Social Welfare and Development Office (CSWDO) at Tacloban Rescue Unit (TACRU) para sa wastong pangangalaga at medikal na pagsusuri sa sanggol.

Batay sa paunang assessment, hindi pa napuputol ang pusod ng sanggol at may bakas pa ng tuyong dugo sa buhok nito, indikasyong ito ay kasisilang pa lamang bago iniwan sa naturang lugar.

“This rescue reflects the importance of community vigilance and immediate police response. Every child deserves protection and care,” ani PGEN Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr. “Malaking bagay ang malasakit ng mamamayan na agad nagbigay ng impormasyon sa pulisya upang mailigtas ang sanggol.”

Dagdag pa ni PGEN Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., “The PNP remains committed to protecting the vulnerable and responding to situations that threaten life and safety.” Aniya, “Hindi lamang pagpapatupad ng batas ang tungkulin ng kapulisan kundi maging pag-aaruga at pagprotekta sa mga nangangailangan ng agarang tulong.”

Ipinakita rin ng insidenteng ito ang patuloy na pagpapatibay ng PNP sa mas makatao at mas malapit na ugnayan sa komunidad sa ilalim ng PNP Focused Agenda—isang gabay tungo sa mas maayos at mas responsive na serbisyo-pulisya. Sa pamamagitan ng Enhanced Managing Police Operations at Active Community Support, mas napapalawak ang kakayahan ng kapulisan na makaresponde agad sa mga sitwasyong nangangailangan ng agarang aksyon at malasakit sa mamamayan.

Habang nagpapatuloy ang imbestigasyon upang matukoy kung sino ang nag-iwan sa sanggol, tiniyak ng PRO 8 na mananatiling prayoridad ang kaligtasan at kapakanan ng bata habang ito ay nasa pangangalaga ng mga kinauukulang ahensya.

Sa patuloy na pagpapaigting ng PNP sa pagprotekta sa buhay at kapakanan ng bawat mamamayan, tinitiyak ng kapulisan sa publiko ang “Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong mabilis, tapat, at nararamdaman.”
