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.

JUSTICE PREVAILS: PNP ARRESTS 7 MOST WANTED SUSPECTS IN SEXUAL CRIMES, VAWC CASES

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.”

OZAMIZ ROBBERY CRACKED IN LESS THAN 24 HOURS; SUSPECTS TIED TO OTHER ROBBERY CASES

Police in Northern Mindanao swiftly moved to identify and locate two suspects allegedly behind a robbery in Ozamiz City, Misamis Occidental, resulting in the arrest of one suspect within 24 hours and establishing the pair’s possible links to other robbery incidents in the region.

The robbery occurred at around 11:15 p.m. on September 1, 2026, when two suspects allegedly entered a commercial establishment through an opening at the rear portion of the building and forcibly opened a vault containing approximately ₱60,000.00 in cash.

Through crime scene processing and examination of available CCTV footage, investigators identified the suspects as alias “Joe” and alias “Boy,” both residents of Ramon Magsaysay, Zamboanga del Sur. “Joe” was also found to have an existing warrant of arrest for Robbery in Zamboanga del Sur.

Further investigation established that the two are being linked to other robbery incidents under investigation, including the robbery of a similar commercial establishment in Gingoog City, Misamis Oriental, in February 2026, and another incident in Tudela, Misamis Occidental, in April 2026. Authorities are continuing to validate the information and gather evidence for the appropriate cases.

Police subsequently located “Joe” at his residence and arrested him. During the follow-up operation in the area where “Boy” was reportedly staying, the suspect allegedly fired at police officers, prompting them to respond. He sustained gunshot wounds and was declared dead.

Chief PNP Police General Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr. said the development shows the value of combining immediate police response with careful investigative work in pursuing cases.

“Kapag may nangyaring krimen, hindi puwedeng hanggang report lang. We move quickly, but we also take the time to establish the facts and connect the pieces. Kung may iba pang kaso na may kaugnayan, dapat makita rin natin iyon at maipursige sa tamang proseso,” PGen Nartatez said.

The operation reflects the PNP’s continuing implementation of its Focused Agenda, particularly under Enhanced Managing Police Operations (EMPO), through responsive policing supported by investigation, evidence gathering, and coordination among units. It likewise supports President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.’s commitment to maintaining safe and orderly communities.

The arrested suspect is set to face appropriate charges for Robbery in connection with the Ozamiz City incident and for alleged violation of Republic Act No. 10591, or the Comprehensive Fi****ms and Ammunition Regulation Act.

As the investigation continues, the PNP remains committed to pursuing leads that help resolve cases and protect communities, consistent with the Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong Mabilis, Tapat at Nararamdaman.

“Every successful operation sends a clear message that illegal trade will not be allowed to undermine legitimate commerce. We act on information, we coordinate with the proper agencies, and we make sure the evidence is properly handled. Trabaho natin ito, at gagawin natin nang maayos,” PGen Nartatez said.

The operations form part of the PNP’s continuing implementation of its Focused Agenda under Enhanced Managing Police Operations (EMPO), strengthening police efforts to address activities that affect public order, lawful commerce, and community welfare. These efforts are likewise consistent with President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.’s commitment to uphold law and order while protecting legitimate economic activity.

The arrested individuals and recovered items are under police custody for appropriate legal proceedings, while the seized ci******es in Sulu are being prepared for turnover to the Bureau of Customs for proper disposition.

Through sustained enforcement, inter-agency coordination, and responsive police operations, the PNP continues to protect communities and legitimate commerce in support of a Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong Mabilis, Tapat at Nararamdaman.
