NO PLACE TO HIDE FOR CTGs

We commend the bravery of Barangay Chairman Rolando Torres of Sag-ang, La Castellana, Negros Occidental for helping the government rid their community of the influence of NPA remnants. Of course, with the support of the MTF-ELCAC, we can only accomplish so much in ending the local communist armed conflict.

In unity with our local partners who are the “bringers of peace”, let’s intensify efforts to engage the remaining NPA rebels through the Local Peace Engagement Program, ECLIP, and amnesty.

Thank you MTF-ELCAC La Castellana chairman Mayor Alme Rhummyla Nicor-Mangilimutan.

PNP OPERATION IN MASBATE YIELDS HIGH-POWERED FI****MS, 400+ LIVE AMMUNITION

Sustained intelligence work led to the recovery of high-powered fi****ms and hundreds of rounds of live ammunition in Monreal, Masbate on February 16, 2026, denying armed groups the means to threaten communities in Ticao Island.

At approximately 4:00 PM, personnel of Police Regional Office 5 (PRO 5) conducted a focused operation based on information provided by a former member associated with KLG North, SRC 4, BRPC operating in the area. The police team proceeded to a designated site in Monreal where they recovered one carbine rifle, one LUGER KG9 with a magazine inserted and loaded with eight rounds of live ammunition, one caliber .38 revolver, four magazines for M16 rifles, 414 rounds of 7.62mm live ammunition, two shotgun rounds, and one flashlight.

Authorities said the seized fi****ms and ammunition were believed to be linked to Communist Terrorist Groups (CTGs) active in the province. By securing these weapons, the PNP prevented their possible use in armed attacks, harassment of residents, and other violent activities that could undermine local stability.

The operation reflects the continuing effort of the PNP to restrict the movement and capacity of armed groups, particularly in geographically isolated areas. Removing fi****ms from circulation remains a critical component of ensuring that communities are protected from intimidation and violence.

Anchored on the PNP Focused Agenda—a strategic direction of transformation crafted to make police service more accountable and responsive—this accomplishment highlights the key priority of Enhanced Managing Police Operations. Through sustained intelligence validation and calibrated field actions, the PNP continues to address threats before they escalate into harm.

PNP Chief PGEN Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr. commended the operating units for the successful recovery.

“We will not allow armed groups to endanger our communities. This recovery sends a clear message that the PNP remains relentless in tracking down loose fi****ms and dismantling threats to public safety. Hindi namin hahayaang magamit ang mga baril na ito laban sa ating mga kababayan.”

In a separate statement, PGEN Nartatez emphasized the broader impact of the operation.

“Every firearm recovered is a potential life saved. Our operations are focused, intelligence-driven, and grounded on our duty to protect the people. Patuloy kaming kikilos upang tiyakin na ligtas ang bawat komunidad, lalo na sa mga liblib na lugar.”

The recovered fi****ms and ammunition are now under police custody for proper documentation and disposition as part of the ongoing investigation and monitoring of armed group activities in the province.

As the PNP strengthens its operations against armed groups and prevents the proliferation of illegal fi****ms under the directive of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr., it continues to assure the public of “Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong mabilis, tapat, at nararamdaman.”
