KALILANGAN, BUKIDNON โ Police units intercepted a white Bajaj threeโwheeled trike (baoโbao) carrying undocumented ci******es valued at โฑ21,600 during a checkpoint operation in Barangay Malinao, Kalilangan, Bukidnon at about 4:45 PM on January 10, 2026.
PBGEN CHRISTOPHER N ABRAHANO, Regional Director of PRO 10, lauded the personnel of the 1004th Maneuver Company, RMFB 10, for their vigilance and commitment, emphasizing that their efforts strengthen the campaign against smuggling and illegal trade in Northern Mindanao.
The checkpoint was manned by the 1004th Maneuver Company with support from the the Provincial Intelligence Unit and the Kalilangan Municipal Police Station.
The trike, driven by Jude (real name withheld), 36, of Don Carlos, Bukidnon, was found loaded with twenty seven reams of assorted ci******es, all lacking government health warning labels.
The driver failed to present legal documents for the cargo, resulting in his arrest and the confiscation of the trike and ci******es. Inventory and marking of the seized items were conducted onโsite, witnessed by a Barangay Kagawad and the apprehended suspect.
The suspect was later brought to Kalilangan MPS for processing, while the seized trike and ci******es will be turned over to the Bureau of Customs in Tagoloan, Misamis Oriental.
This accomplishment highlights the intensified operations of PRO 10 against smuggling, carried out under the leadership of PBGEN CHRISTOPHER N ABRAHANO, Regional Director, and in line with the directives of PLTGEN JOSE MELENCIO C NARTATEZ JR, Acting Chief PNP, who has emphasized strict enforcement and accountability in police operations nationwide.
