OFFICIAL STATEMENT - NUEVA ECIJA POLICE PROVINCIAL OFFICE

The Nueva Ecija Police Provincial Office (NEPPO) addresses the recent viral video posted on Facebook by Mr. Elvis Orita regarding the alleged involvement of drunk criminology students in an incident in Cabanatuan City.

As per investigation by Cabanatuan City Police Station, under the leadership of PLTCOL RENATO C MORALES, they initially identified the individuals featured in the video as students of a university in Cabanatuan City. While the weekend closure of the school's administration and the Office of the Dean of Criminology temporarily paused formal verification, direct coordination to finalize their identities will actively resume on Monday, June 8, 2026.

Parallel to these efforts, the Cabanatuan City Police Station has also successfully established contact with the video uploader, Mr. Elvis Orita, who has committed to personally appear at the police station on Monday to move forward with the filing of appropriate charges.

Furthermore, law enforcement immediately coordinated with the Land Transportation Office (LTO) to trace the Suzuki Hatchback shown in the footage. Acting swiftly on this coordination, the LTO has already issued a Show Cause Order (SCO), enforced a 90-day preventive suspension against the driver, and officially placed the vehicle on alarm status.

The Nueva Ecija Police Provincial Office maintains zero tolerance for lawlessness and behavior that compromises public safety, particularly from individuals training to enter the field of law enforcement. Our cyber patrolling teams continue to closely monitor social media channels to ensure immediate police intervention on similar matters.

We assure the public that a thorough investigation is underway, and we will update the community as further developments arise.

SA LIKOD NG UNIPORME, PAG-ASA ANG HATID NG PNP SA PAMILYANG KATUTUBO

Minsan, sapat na ang isang simpleng kabutihan upang magbigay ng bagong pag-asa at inspirasyon sa isang pamilya.

Sa ilalim ng pamumuno ni PGEN Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., ipinakita ng Philippine National Police (PNP) na ang paglilingkod ay hindi lamang nasusukat sa pagpapatupad ng batas kundi maging sa pag-abot ng tulong sa mga nangangailangan.

Noong Hunyo 4, 2026, personal na nagtungo si PMAJ Janice R. Piga, Acting Chief ng Police Community Affairs and Development Unit (PCADU), sa isang komunidad ng mga katutubo sa Sitio Bihawo, Brgy. Villar, Botolan, Zambales upang maghatid ng mga school supplies at iba pang kagamitang pampaaralan para sa apat na kabataang naghahanda sa nalalapit na pagbubukas ng klase.

Sa gitna ng mga hamon na kinahaharap ng pamilya, ang munting tulong na ito ay naging malaking hakbang upang mapalapit ang mga kabataan sa kanilang mga pangarap. Ang mga benepisyaryo, na kasalukuyang nasa Grade 5, Grade 8, at Grade 10, ay nabigyan hindi lamang ng mga gamit sa paaralan kundi maging ng lakas ng loob na ipagpatuloy ang kanilang pag-aaral at mangarap nang mas mataas.

Ayon kay PMAJ Piga, mahalagang maramdaman ng mga kabataan na may mga taong handang umalalay sa kanilang paglalakbay tungo sa mas magandang kinabukasan. Aniya, ang edukasyon ay nananatiling isa sa pinakamahalagang daan upang mabigyan ng mas maraming oportunidad ang mga kabataan at kanilang mga pamilya.

Samantala, binigyang-diin ni PNP Chief PGEN Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr. ang mahalagang papel ng edukasyon sa paghubog ng mas magandang kinabukasan para sa mga kabataan.

“Education is one of the most powerful investments we can make for the future. Kapag natutulungan nating makapagpatuloy sa pag-aaral ang mga kabataan, binibigyan din natin sila ng pagkakataong baguhin ang takbo ng kanilang buhay,” pahayag ni PGEN Nartatez.

“Small acts of compassion can make a meaningful difference. Ang bawat tulong na naiaabot natin ay paalala na may mga taong handang sumuporta sa kanilang paglalakbay tungo sa mas magandang bukas,” dagdag pa niya.

Ang inisyatibang ito ay kaakibat ng PNP Focused Agenda—isang direksiyon ng pagbabago na naglalayong gawing mas makabuluhan at mas malapit sa mamamayan ang serbisyo-pulisya. Kabilang sa mga pangunahing prayoridad nito ang Active Community Support, na nakatuon sa pagpapalakas ng ugnayan ng kapulisan at komunidad sa pamamagitan ng mga programang may direktang positibong epekto sa buhay ng mga mamamayan.

Sa bawat tulong na naihahatid at bawat pangarap na nabibigyang pag-asa, patuloy na pinatutunayan ng PNP na ang tunay na serbisyo ay hindi lamang nakikita sa pagpapanatili ng kapayapaan at kaayusan kundi maging sa pag-aaruga sa kinabukasan ng mga kabataang Pilipino.

Habang patuloy na nagsusulong ang PNP ng mga programang nagpapalakas sa kapakanan at kinabukasan ng mga komunidad, tinitiyak nito sa publiko ang katuparan ng adhikain ng “Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong Mabilis, Tapat, at Nararamdaman.”

PBGEN Mendez emphasized that the successful operation sends a strong message that no fugitive can remain beyond the reach of the law and reaffirmed PRO3's commitment to pursuing wanted persons and ensuring justice for victims.

The accomplishment supports the PNP Focused Agenda of Chief, PNP, PGEN Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., particularly in strengthening law enforcement operations, enhancing public safety, and ensuring the swift administration of justice through the aggressive pursuit of wanted persons.
