PNP IMPOUNDS 2 TRUCKS, 115 MOTORCYCLES IN QUEZON OVER SAFETY, REGISTRATION VIOLATIONS; SOME MOTORCYCLES HAD CANNIBALIZED ACCESSORIES

The Philippine National Police (PNP), through the Highway Patrol Group (HPG), impounded two trucks carrying a total of 115 motorcycles, including units with incomplete or unavailable supporting documents, during a checkpoint operation in Quezon on Thursday.

The operation stemmed from information received by police personnel regarding trucks allegedly transporting motorcycles without proper documentation from Taguig City toward Mindanao. HPG tracker teams from Regional Highway Patrol Unit 4A and the Laguna and Quezon Provincial Highway Patrol Teams, in coordination with other police units, monitored the reported vehicles along possible routes.

At a checkpoint operation in Quezon, joint personnel impounded two Isuzu Elf trucks for initial violations involving unsafe loading and failure to present updated vehicle registration.

The trucks were found carrying 57 and 58 motorcycles, respectively. Of the 115 motorcycles, 73 had documents while 42 had no supporting documents. Four additional cannibalized motorcycle-related components, including chassis frames and engine blocks, were also found among the items.

The vehicles and motorcycles were brought to the 1st Quezon Provincial Mobile Force Company in Candelaria, Quezon for documentation and further investigation. The report stated that the trucks had been hired to transport an undetermined number of motorcycles.

Chief PNP Police General Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr. said the operation shows the importance of acting promptly on information that may help clarify the legality of transported vehicles and protect legitimate vehicle owners and motorists.

“Kapag may impormasyon na kailangang i-check, hindi natin dapat palampasin. We verify, we coordinate, and we act within the law. Ang mahalaga, maayos ang proseso at malinaw ang resulta ng imbestigasyon. Sa ganitong paraan, napoprotektahan natin ang mga lehitimong may-ari at naiiwasan din ang anumang hindi pagkakaunawaan,” PGen Nartatez said.

The operation is in line with the PNP Focused Agenda, particularly Enhanced Managing Police Operations, which calls for timely, coordinated, and accountable police action. It also supports the administration of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. in strengthening public safety and ensuring that law enforcement remains responsive to the needs of communities.

As documentation and investigation continue, the PNP will determine the appropriate action based on established facts and applicable laws, consistent with due process. This forms part of the PNP’s continuing commitment to Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong Mabilis, Tapat, at Nararamdaman, ensuring that police operations are carried out responsibly, professionally, and with the public’s trust in mind.

SIX LOOSE FI****MS SEIZED; SUSPECT FALLS IN QUEZON RAID

The Philippine National Police, under the command of PNP Chief PGEN Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., arrested a man during the implementation of a search warrant that led to the seizure of six loose fi****ms in Sariaya, Quezon on August 10, 2026.

The operation was carried out by the CIDG Quezon Provincial Field Unit, Quezon 2nd Provincial Mobile Force Company (PMFC), and Sariaya Municipal Police Station in Barangay Lutucan 1, Sariaya, Quezon.

Seized from the suspect were six unlicensed fi****ms consisting of a caliber .45 pistol, caliber 9mm pistol, caliber .22 rifle, caliber .22 revolver, 12-gauge shotgun, and an improvised caliber .380 firearm, along with magazines and ammunition.

The suspect was found in possession and control of the fi****ms without the required License to Own and Possess Fi****ms (LTOPF). The fi****ms were likewise not duly registered with the Fi****ms and Explosives Office (FEO), in violation of Republic Act No. 10591, or the Comprehensive Fi****ms and Ammunition Regulation Act.

“This accomplishment sends a clear message that possession of unlicensed and unregistered fi****ms will not be overlooked. We will keep pursuing individuals who disregard the law and pose a potential threat to the safety of our communities,” PGen Nartatez said.

“Ang pagkakaroon ng baril ay may kaakibat na pananagutan at pagsunod sa mga itinakdang batas. Mahigpit nating babantayan ang mga paglabag sa fi****ms law at kikilos tayo agad kapag may nakitang banta sa seguridad ng ating mga komunidad,” he added.

The operation reinforces the PNP Focused Agenda, a framework for transformation that strengthens police service through purposeful and accountable action. It directly supports the key priority of Enhanced Managing Police Operations by turning focused law-enforcement efforts into concrete action against illegal fi****ms.

As the PNP steps up efforts to keep illegal fi****ms out of the hands of unauthorized individuals 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.”

PNP SHIELDS COMMUNITIES FROM FIREARM RISKS AS 858 GUNS ARE VOLUNTARILY SURRENDERED

The Philippine National Police (PNP) is strengthening its preventive approach to firearm-related threats as police units in Western Visayas accounted for 858 fi****ms voluntarily surrendered by individuals from May 15 to July 31, 2026.

The fi****ms were turned over through the Police Regional Office 6 (PRO6) initiative known as Project R.T. T. (Restrict, Track, and Turn-in), which encourages individuals holding undocumented or improperly registered fi****ms to surrender them through lawful and non-coercive means.

Rather than waiting for illegally held fi****ms to surface in criminal investigations, the initiative allows police units to work with communities, local government units, and barangay officials to identify concerns involving unregistered or expired fi****ms and encourage their lawful disposition.

The largest number of surrendered fi****ms came from Iloilo, followed by Antique, Aklan, Capiz, Iloilo City, the Regional Mobile Force Battalion 6, and Guimaras.

The accomplishment forms part of the PNP's continuing effort to prevent fi****ms from becoming instruments of violence and crime. It is also consistent with the PNP Focused Agenda, particularly Enhanced Managing Police Operations (EMPO), which promotes proactive, coordinated, and results-oriented policing.

Chief PNP Police General Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr. said the surrender of fi****ms demonstrates the value of prevention and cooperation between police and the communities they serve.

“Mas mabuti na maagapan kaysa hintayin nating may mangyari bago tayo kumilos. When people choose to turn over fi****ms voluntarily, that is already a step toward keeping families and communities safer. Trabaho ng PNP na makipag-ugnayan, magpaliwanag, at gumawa ng paraan para maiwasan ang problema bago pa ito maging krimen.”

The PNP continues to strengthen preventive policing under the direction of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr., with emphasis on lawful enforcement, community partnership, and measures that address security concerns before they escalate.

This accomplishment underscores the PNP’s commitment to making firearm regulation part of everyday community safety—advancing the Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong Mabilis, Tapat, at Nararamdaman.
