FORMER INSURGENT YIELDS TO PNP; FIREARM AND EXPLOSIVE DEVICE RECOVERED

The Philippine National Police (PNP), under the leadership of PNP Chief, Police General Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., facilitated the surrender of a former Communist Terrorist Group (CTG) member and the turnover of a firearm and an explosive device as part of the peace and security efforts of Police Regional Office 8. The activity was conducted at the Headquarters of the 2nd Leyte Provincial Mobile Force Company in Brgy. Cristina, Calubian, Leyte, on May 28, 2026.

The surrenderer, known by the alias “Erik,” a 49-year-old Filipino male from Carigara, Leyte, was formerly affiliated with the Buhawi Platoon under the Eastern Visayas Regional Party Committee, which operated in selected areas of Leyte. His peaceful surrender was achieved through sustained intelligence monitoring and enhanced engagement efforts by personnel from the 2nd LPMFC, Provincial Intelligence Unit, Regional Intelligence Unit 8, 805th Maneuver Company of the Regional Mobile Force Battalion 8, and the Calubian Municipal Police Station.

During the turnover, he surrendered one caliber .38 revolver without serial markings, three rounds of ammunition, and one hand gr***de. He likewise expressed his withdrawal from armed participation and his intent to return to peaceful civilian life. The surrendered items and the individual are now under the custody of the 2nd LPMFC for proper documentation, safekeeping, and evaluation for possible enrollment in the government’s Enhanced Comprehensive Local Integration Program (E-CLIP).

PNP Chief PGEN Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr. emphasized that sustained engagement and operational initiatives remain essential in encouraging individuals involved in armed movements to abandon violence and reintegrate into society.

“Every successful surrender is a result of continuous effort on the ground to reach those who have long been influenced by armed struggle. We remain committed to bringing peace closer to every community,” said PGEN Nartatez.

“Hindi namin isinasara ang pagkakataon para sa mga nais magbagong-buhay. Ang bawat desisyong magbalik-loob ay mahalagang hakbang tungo sa kapayapaan at kaayusan,” he added.

The development reflects the PNP Focused Agenda, a transformation framework designed to enhance police service delivery and strengthen community trust. Among its key priorities is Enhanced Managing Police Operations, which supports effective operational responses and intelligence-driven actions that contribute to successful peacebuilding efforts, such as the surrender of CTG members.

“We continue to strengthen our operational efforts while maintaining strong community engagement to ensure lasting peace in conflict-affected areas,” PGEN Nartatez said.

“Kapag pinagsama ang malasakit at tamang direksyon, mas nagiging posible ang tunay na pagbabago. Patuloy ang aming panawagan sa lahat na piliin ang mapayapang pamumuhay,” he added.

As the PNP continues to intensify peace and reintegration initiatives under the directive of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr., it assures the public of its commitment to “Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong mabilis, tapat, at nararamdaman.”

MALASAKIT SA MAMAMAYAN AT KAPWA PULIS, MULING IPINAKITA NG PNP

Sa magkahiwalay na insidente sa Iloilo City at Quezon City, muling ipinakita ng mga tauhan ng Philippine National Police (PNP) ang kahalagahan ng malasakit, agarang pagtugon, at paglingap sa mga nangangailangan.

Sa Iloilo City, agad na umaksyon ang mga tauhan ng Police Regional Office 6 (PRO6) at mga responder mula sa Regional Medical and Dental Unit 6 nang madapa ang isang senior citizen habang naglalakad sa kahabaan ng Zamora Street nitong gabi ng Mayo 29. Mabilis siyang nabigyan ng paunang lunas sa lugar bago ligtas na dinala sa West Visayas State University Medical Center para sa karagdagang pagsusuri at gamutan.
Samantala, sa Quezon City, isang pulis ang nasugatan habang rumesponde sa isang insidente sa kahabaan ng Eulogio Rodriguez Avenue sa ilalim ng Libis Flyover, Barangay Libis. Agad siyang nabigyan ng kinakailangang medikal na atensyon at patuloy na minomonitor ang kanyang kalagayan upang matiyak ang kanyang mabilis at maayos na paggaling.

Ayon kay Chief PNP, Police General Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., ang mga ganitong pagkakataon ay nagpapakita na ang serbisyo ng pulisya ay hindi lamang nakatuon sa pagpapatupad ng batas kundi maging sa pagprotekta at pag-aaruga sa bawat tao.

"Ang bawat buhay ay mahalaga. Nakakatuwang makita ang ating mga pulis na agad tumutulong sa isang senior citizen na nangangailangan ng saklolo at kasabay nito ay tinitiyak din ang kapakanan ng kanilang kapwa pulis na nasugatan habang ginagampanan ang tungkulin. Ito ang uri ng malasakit at serbisyo na nais nating maging kultura sa buong organisasyon," ani PGen Nartatez.

Dagdag pa niya, "Sa likod ng bawat uniporme ay mga taong handang tumulong at magsakripisyo para sa kapwa. Patuloy nating palalakasin ang serbisyong may puso, may malasakit, at may tunay na pakialam sa kapakanan ng ating mga mamamayan at kapulisan."

Ang mga insidenteng ito ay patunay na nananatiling nakatuon ang PNP sa pagbibigay ng makatao at maagap na serbisyo sa publiko at sa pagtiyak sa kapakanan ng mga tauhang nagsisilbi sa bayan, bilang bahagi ng pagsusulong ng Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong Mabilis, Tapat at Nararamdaman.

Sa pagdiriwang ng Araw ng Kalayaan, muling pinaaalalahanan ng Philippine National Police ang publiko na maging mapagmatyag sa online na kapaligiran laban sa mga scam at maling impormasyon. Hinihikayat ang lahat na maging mapanuri sa mga natatanggap na mensahe at iwasan ang agarang pagbabahagi ng hindi beripikadong balita, lalo na sa mga pekeng promos, phishing links, at kahina-hinalang travel o text scams.

Pinaaalalahanan din ang bawat isa na palakasin ang seguridad ng kanilang mga online account sa pamamagitan ng paggamit ng two-factor authentication at matitibay na password. Iwasan ang labis na pagbabahagi ng personal na impormasyon sa social media, kabilang ang sensitibong detalye tulad ng mga ID, boarding pass, at eksaktong lokasyon, at laging suriin ang kredibilidad ng pinagmumulan ng impormasyon bago maniwala o mag-share.

Bilang bahagi ng PNP Focused Agenda, patuloy ang mas pinaigting na kampanya laban sa cybercrime at disinformation upang maprotektahan ang publiko sa digital na espasyo. Kung may kahina-hinalang aktibidad o posibleng biktima ng online scam, agad na mag-report sa Anti-Cybercrime Group (ACG). Sa ganitong adhikain, nananatiling tapat ang PNP sa tungkulin nitong maghatid ng proteksyon at serbisyo sa sambayanan: “Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong mabilis, tapat, at nararamdaman.”
