APAT NA KABATAANG HIKERS, NASAGIP NG PNP MATAPOS MA-STRANDED SA KABUNDUKAN NG CAGAYAN

Ligtas na nasagip ang apat na kabataang hikers na na-stranded sa kabundukan ng Brgy. Taggat Sur, Claveria, Cagayan matapos ang mabilis na aksyon ng pulisya at iba pang ahensya noong tanghali ng Abril 18, 2026.

Batay sa ulat, bandang alas-12:00 ng tanghali ay humingi ng tulong ang isang menor de edad na kasama ng grupo matapos maiwan ang apat niyang kasamahan sa kabundukan dahil sa matinding pagkapagod at hindi na makabalik, kaya agad na kumilos ang Claveria Police Station katuwang ang MDRRMO at Philippine Coast Guard.

Sa loob lamang ng wala pang isang oras, natunton ang mga biktima na kapwa pagod at dehydrated. Agad silang binigyan ng paunang lunas at dinala sa pinakamalapit na pagamutan para masigurong maayos ang kanilang kalagayan.

Pinuri ni Chief, PNP, Police General Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., ang naging koordinasyon ng mga rumespondeng yunit.

“Hindi natin pinapalampas ang oras kapag may nangangailangan ng tulong. Ang bawat minuto ay mahalaga sa pagliligtas ng buhay,” ani PGen Nartatez.

Dagdag pa niya, “Patuloy ang paalala ng PNP: maging responsable sa paglalakbay, lalo na sa mga kabundukan at delikadong lugar, mag-ingat po tayo. Siguraduhing handa ang katawan, may sapat na tubig at gamit, at ipaalam sa pamilya o awtoridad ang inyong pupuntahan.”

Muling pinatunayan ng insidenteng ito ang kahandaan at dedikasyon ng kapulisan at mga katuwang na ahensya sa pagresponde sa oras ng pangangailangan—isang malinaw na halimbawa ng Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong Mabilis, Tapat at Nararamdaman.

SALUTE! ALENG PULIS, INALAGAAN ANG SANGGOL NG EXAMINEE SA GITNA NG NAPOLCOM EXAM SA BAGUIO

Sa gitna ng isang mahalagang araw para sa mga nangangarap maging lingkod-bayan, isang simpleng kilos ng malasakit ang tumatak at nagbigay saysay sa tunay na diwa ng serbisyo publiko.

Sa kasagsagan ng NAPOLCOM Entrance Examination noong April 19, 2026 sa Baguio City, ipinamalas ni PCpl Marjorie P. Wacnag ng Baguio City Police Office – City Mobile Force Company ang isang kahanga-hangang halimbawa ng malasakit.

Habang abala ang isang ina mula sa Cervantes, Ilocos Sur sa pagkuha ng pagsusulit, naiwan ang kanyang sanggol sa pangangalaga ng lolo. Nang magsimulang umiyak ang bata dahil sa gutom, hindi nag-atubili si PCpl Wacnag—na isa ring ina—na alagaan at pakainin ang sanggol. Sa sandaling iyon, siya ay hindi lamang pulis kundi isang inang handang umalalay sa kapwa.

Ang kanyang ginawa ay higit pa sa tungkulin—ito ay isang konkretong patunay na ang serbisyo publiko ay may kasamang malasakit at pag-unawa. Sa ganitong mga pagkakataon, mas napapalapit ang ugnayan ng kapulisan at ng komunidad, at mas lalong tumitibay ang tiwala ng mamamayan sa kanilang mga tagapangalaga.

Bahagi ito ng mas malawak na layunin ng PNP sa pamamagitan ng PNP Focused Agenda—isang gabay sa patuloy na pagbabago ng organisasyon upang maging mas makatao, responsive, at nakatuon sa pangangailangan ng mamamayan. Nakasentro rito ang mga key priority na humuhubog sa direksyon ng PNP, kabilang ang Enhanced Managing Police Operations na makikita sa agarang pagtugon at malasakit na ipinamalas sa pangyayaring ito.

Binigyang-diin ni PNP Chief, PGEN Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., ang kahalagahan ng ganitong uri ng serbisyo: “Policing is not only about enforcing the law, but also about responding to human needs when it matters most. Ang simpleng pagtulong sa kapwa ay may malaking epekto sa tiwala ng publiko.”

Dagdag pa niya, “Moments like this show the real character of our police force. Ipinapakita nito na ang ating mga pulis ay marunong makiramdam at handang tumulong sa oras ng pangangailangan.”

Sa bawat ganitong kwento ng malasakit, mas lalong nabibigyang-buhay ang tunay na diwa ng pagiging lingkod-bayan—isang serbisyong may puso at malasakit sa kapwa.

Habang patuloy na pinapalakas ng PNP ang ugnayan nito sa komunidad sa pamamagitan ng mga gawaing may malasakit at agarang pagtugon, patuloy nitong pinagtitibay ang tiwala ng mamamayan at isinusulong ang adhikain ng isang makataong kapulisan, alinsunod sa bisyon ng “Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong mabilis, tapat, at nararamdaman.”

TWO NABBED FOR OIL PILFERAGE AS PNP SUSTAINS FUEL MONITORING EFFORTS

The Philippine National Police (PNP) continues to closely monitor the fuel situation across the country, recording 300 temporarily closed gasoline stations out of 14,527 nationwide as of 6:00 AM today, April 17, 2026.

From March 1 to date, authorities have filed 26 cases involving fuel-related violations, including 7 cases of hoarding, 1 case of profiteering, and 18 other offenses covering illegal storage, transport, and trading of petroleum products.

In a recent operation conducted in Tubay, Agusan del Norte, police operatives apprehended two suspects for violation of Presidential Decree No. 1865 or the Oil Pilferage Law. Seized during the operation were petroleum products and equipment, including a tanker truck, with an estimated value of ₱3.12 million. The suspects are now under police custody for proper legal proceedings.

These enforcement efforts are being carried out in coordination with the Department of Energy and the respective Local Price Monitoring Council of local government units to ensure accurate monitoring, fair pricing, and sufficient supply at the community level.

The PNP’s actions form part of its Focused Agenda, particularly under Enhanced Managing Police Operations, aimed at maintaining public order and protecting consumers during supply disruptions. These efforts also support the broader direction of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. in ensuring stability amid global developments affecting fuel supply.

Chief PNP, Police General Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., reiterated a balanced and firm approach:

“Ang layunin natin ay mapanatili ang kaayusan at matiyak na walang naaabuso sa sitwasyon. Hindi ito panahon para manlamang, kundi panahon para magtulungan. The PNP will continue to enforce the law fairly and ensure that those who violate it are held accountable.”

He added, “We remain committed to working with partner agencies and local authorities to keep the situation manageable and under control. Tuloy-tuloy ang ating monitoring at koordinasyon para maiwasan ang anumang pananamantala.”

The PNP also reminds the public to stay informed and vigilant, especially as ongoing global tensions continue to affect oil production and distribution, with corresponding impact on local supply. Reports of suspicious activities such as illegal fuel storage, overpricing, and unauthorized selling should be immediately brought to the attention of authorities.

The PNP assures the public that its operations will remain steady, measured, and focused on public interest, as it continues to uphold safety and fairness in communities nationwide—guided by the vision of a Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong Mabilis, Tapat at Nararamdaman.

PNP, BI NET TWO JAPANESE NATIONALS IN ANTI-FRAUD OPERATIONS

Two Japanese nationals linked to transnational criminal groups were arrested by the Philippine National Police (PNP) in separate operations on April 16, 2026 in Metro Manila.

Operatives first arrested a 34-year-old Japanese national at around 5:40 PM in Mandaluyong City. He is linked to a syndicate known as the Luffy Group, which is involved in fraud schemes targeting victims through impersonation of government officials.

Authorities said the group’s activities include deceiving victims into surrendering their ATM cards, which are then switched and used for unauthorized withdrawals.

About an hour later, a 52-year-old Japanese national was apprehended in Sta. Mesa, Manila. He is associated with the JP Dragon syndicate, a group engaged in telecom fraud operations across Asia, particularly targeting elderly individuals by posing as law enforcement officers and other authorities.

Both arrests were carried out by joint elements of the PNP, the Bureau of Immigration, and partner agencies, in coordination with Japanese law enforcement authorities. The operations were anchored on existing deportation orders and arrest warrants issued by Japanese courts.

The PNP said the operations form part of its intensified campaign against transnational crimes under its Focused Agenda, particularly through Enhanced Managing Police Operations, and align with the directive of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. to strengthen international cooperation in addressing organized criminal networks.

PNP Chief, Police General Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., emphasized the country’s firm stance against foreign fugitives.

“Hindi natin hahayaang gawing kanlungan ng mga dayuhang kriminal ang ating bansa. Sa tulong ng ating international partners, malinaw ang ating mensahe—mananagot ang sinumang lalabag sa batas,” he said.

“These arrests reflect our strong coordination with global law enforcement agencies. We will continue to pursue individuals involved in organized and transnational crimes, and ensure they face the consequences of their actions,” he added.

The arrested individuals are now under the custody of the Bureau of Immigration for documentation and deportation proceedings.

The PNP underscored that these successful operations highlight the country’s commitment to ensuring public safety and maintaining order, as it continues to move forward with the vision of a Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong Mabilis, Tapat at Nararamdaman.
