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.
