PNP EXTENDS LIFE-SAVING SUPPORT TO PGH PEDIATRIC PATIENTS

A quiet act of compassion now brings renewed hope to children who rely on life-sustaining breathing support equipment in their homes.

The Philippine National Police demonstrated its continuing commitment to humanitarian service through an outreach initiative benefiting chronically ill pediatric patients under the care of the Child Foundation and the Kalidad at Wagas na Aruga on the Go (KWAGO) Program of the Philippine General Hospital (PGH).

Under the leadership of PNP Chief, PGEN Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., the Philippine National Police extended vital support through a donation activity held on June 4, 2026, reinforcing its commitment to assist vulnerable sectors, particularly young patients dependent on ventilator and BiPAP machines for survival at home.

As part of the initiative, the PNP Civil Security Group donated fifteen portable generators to help ensure continuous power supply for medically dependent children. These units are expected to provide critical backup during unexpected power interruptions, allowing breathing support equipment to function without disruption and ensuring the safety and comfort of patients in their homes.

The turnover was formally received and acknowledged by representatives of the Philippine General Hospital and the Child Foundation, highlighting a coordinated effort between law enforcement support services and medical humanitarian care.

This initiative reflects the broader direction of the Philippine National Police under its Focused Agenda—a transformation framework designed to make police service more responsive, responsible, and people-centered. Among its key priorities are Enhanced Managing Police Operations and Active Community Support, which are reflected in programs that extend direct assistance to vulnerable communities and strengthen public trust through meaningful engagement.

PNP Chief, PGEN Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., underscored the importance of compassion in public service, saying:

“Service goes beyond protection and it must reach those who need it most. We stand with families who fight every day for their children’s life and well-being. Ang serbisyo ng kapulisan ay hindi lang sa seguridad, kundi sa malasakit sa kapwa lalo na sa mga batang may pinagdadaanan sa kalusugan.”

He further stated: “We continue to support programs that save lives and ease the burden of families in need. Patuloy kaming tutulong sa abot ng aming makakaya para sa mga pamilyang umaasa sa tulong ng komunidad at ng pamahalaan.”

As the Philippine National Police deepens its humanitarian engagement, it continues to assure the public of its vision: “Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong mabilis, tapat, at nararamdaman.”

Authorities confiscated approximately PHP 4.4 million worth of alleged smuggled ci******es and arrested three individuals in a successful anti-illegal trade operation conducted in Lanao del Sur in the early hours of June 6, 2026.

Personnel of the Police Regional Office in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region (PRO BAR) conducted a checkpoint operation in Barangay Matling, Malabang, which led to the interception of three vehicles carrying large quantities of ci******es believed to have been brought into the country without proper authorization.

Initial validation showed that the vehicles were traveling from Barangay Picong en route to Marawi City when they were flagged down for routine inspection. During inspection, law enforcement personnel discovered in plain view several boxes and reams of assorted cigarette brands suspected to be smuggled goods.

Confiscated during the operation were approximately 700 reams of ci******es, 1,800 reams of menthol ci******es, and 3,000 reams of another variant, with a combined estimated market value of PHP 4,400,000.00.

The three suspects, all presently under police custody, are undergoing documentation and proper legal processing. Authorities confirmed that appropriate charges will be filed in coordination with concerned government agencies. The seized items have been turned over to Malabang Municipal Police Station for inventory and safekeeping prior to disposition with the Bureau of Customs.

Chief PNP, Police General Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., commended the operating units for their swift and coordinated action, underscoring that the accomplishment reflects the organization’s sustained commitment to border protection and anti-smuggling enforcement.

“This operation shows what disciplined coordination and intelligence-driven policing can achieve. We will continue to strengthen our presence on the ground to ensure that illegal activities are intercepted before they can harm our communities and our economy,” the Chief PNP said.

He also emphasized that such operations are aligned with the PNP Focused Agenda, particularly under Enhanced Managing Police Operations, which promotes proactive, coordinated, and intelligence-led interventions across all regions. He further noted that these efforts directly support President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.’s broader governance direction of strengthening law enforcement visibility and protecting national economic interests.

The Philippine National Police reiterated its firm stance against all forms of smuggling and illicit trade, stressing that sustained operations will continue nationwide as part of its campaign for safer and more secure communities.

The PNP reaffirmed its commitment under the banner “Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong Mabilis, Tapat at Nararamdaman,” highlighting a renewed drive for responsive and people-centered policing across the country.

PNP, NAGBIGAY NG NGITI AT PAG-ASA SA MGA BATANG ATI SA AKLAN

Muling pinatunayan ng Philippine National Police (PNP) na higit pa sa pagpapatupad ng batas ang papel nito sa komunidad matapos maghatid ng tulong at malasakit sa mga batang Ati sa bayan ng Malay, Aklan.

Sa pangunguna ng Malay Municipal Police Station sa ilalim ng Police Regional Office 6 (PRO6), nagsagawa ng outreach activity para sa mga batang kabilang sa komunidad ng mga katutubo sa Barangay Cogon at Boracay Island. Kabilang sa isinagawang programa ang pamamahagi ng school supplies at feeding activity bilang paghahanda ng mga mag-aaral para sa nalalapit na pagbubukas ng klase.

Sa tulong ng lokal na pamahalaan, mga community partners, at iba pang stakeholders, nabigyan ng mahahalagang kagamitan sa pag-aaral ang mga batang Ati upang mahikayat silang ipagpatuloy ang kanilang edukasyon. Nagkaroon din ng feeding program at pamamahagi ng pagkain bilang karagdagang suporta sa kanilang kapakanan.

Ayon kay Chief PNP, Police General Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., mahalagang bahagi ng serbisyo ng kapulisan ang pag-abot sa mga komunidad na nangangailangan ng tulong at suporta.

"Ang tunay na sukatan ng serbisyo publiko ay hindi lamang makikita sa pagpapanatili ng kapayapaan at kaayusan kundi pati sa kakayahan nating magbigay ng malasakit sa ating mga kababayan, lalo na sa mga kabataan at mga katutubong komunidad. Sa simpleng pagtulong, naipapakita natin na ang PNP ay katuwang ng mamamayan sa pagbuo ng mas maayos na kinabukasan," ani PGen Nartatez.

Dagdag pa niya, "Kapag nakikita ng mga bata na may mga institusyong handang umalalay sa kanila, mas napapalakas ang kanilang pag-asa at determinasyong magtagumpay sa buhay. Ito ang uri ng serbisyong nais nating maipadama sa bawat komunidad."

Patuloy na isinusulong ng PNP ang mga programang naglalapit sa kapulisan at mamamayan, lalo na sa mga sektor na nangangailangan ng higit na atensyon at suporta. Ang inisyatibang ito ay bahagi ng mas malawak na layunin ng organisasyon na gawing mas makatao, inklusibo, at makabuluhan ang serbisyo publiko sa ilalim ng Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong Mabilis, Tapat at Nararamdaman.

PRESENSYA NG PULIS, NAGBUNSOD NG PAGLILIGTAS SA BONTOC

Isang simpleng presensya ng kapulisan sa lansangan ang nauwi sa pagligtas ng buhay matapos matulungan ng mga pulis ang mga biktima ng aksidente sa Barangay Tocucan, Bontoc, Mountain Province.

Sa ilalim ng pamumuno ni PNP Chief, PGEN Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., muling naipakita ang halaga ng presensya ng Philippine National Police sa komunidad matapos rumesponde ang mga tauhan ng 2nd Mountain Province Provincial Mobile Force Company (PMFC) sa insidente noong Hunyo 1, 2026.

Habang nasa routine mobile patrol, nakatanggap ng ulat ang mga pulis mula sa isang concerned citizen hinggil sa aksidente sa kalsada. Kaagad silang nagtungo sa lugar at dito nakita ang mga sugatang biktima.

Sina PCpl Rod L. Cas-oy at Pat Jofreck M. Angyoda ang tumugon sa sitwasyon. Sinuri nila ang kalagayan ng mga biktima at nagbigay ng paunang lunas habang hinihintay ang karagdagang tulong.

Sa pakikipagtulungan ng Bureau of Fire Protection–Sadanga, maingat na naisakay ang mga biktima sa patrol vehicle at naihatid sa Bontoc General Hospital para sa medikal na atensyon.

Lumabas sa imbestigasyon na ang mga biktima ay bumibiyahe mula Tabuk City, Kalinga patungong Benguet nang makatulog umano ang drayber, dahilan upang mawalan ng kontrol ang sasakyan at tumaob.

Nasa maayos na kondisyon na ang mga biktima matapos mabigyan ng kaukulang gamutan.

Ang mabilis na pagtugon at malasakit nina PCpl Cas-oy at Pat Angyoda, kapwa mula sa Sadanga, Mountain Province ay nagbigay ng pagkakataon upang mailigtas ang mga biktima mula sa posibleng mas malubhang kapahamakan.

“Police visibility means presence, and presence saves lives. Kapag ang pulis ay nakikita at handang tumugon, mas nabibigyan ng proteksyon ang mamamayan,” pahayag ni PNP Chief, PGEN Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr.

Ipinakita rin ng insidente ang diwa ng PNP Focused Agenda bilang gabay sa mas makatao at mas tumutugong serbisyo, partikular sa Enhanced Managing Police Operations at Active Community Support na makikita sa mabilis na pagtugon at pakikipag-ugnayan sa komunidad.

Sa huli, ang simpleng presensya ng kapulisan ay muling napatunayang mahalagang salik sa pagligtas ng buhay at pagbibigay ng agarang tulong sa oras ng pangangailangan.

Sa patuloy na pagpapatupad ng mga hakbang upang palakasin ang serbisyo publiko, patuloy na tiniyak ng PNP ang adhikain ng “Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong mabilis, tapat, at nararamdaman.”
