“CIRCUM-MISSION” NG RMFB 8, NAGHATID NG LIBRENG TULI AT PAGMAMALASAKIT SA LEYTE

Sa bawat ngiti ng batang ligtas na nabigyan ng serbisyong medikal, muling naipapakita ang mukha ng kapulisan na may malasakit at pusong handang maglingkod. Sa ilalim ng pamumuno ni PGEN Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., matagumpay na isinagawa ng Regional Mobile Force Battalion 8 ang “Circum-Mission: Oplan Tuli ng RMFB 8” noong Mayo 9, 2026 sa Battalion Headquarters sa Capoocan, Leyte.

Sa isinagawang libreng tuli, kabuuang 59 na kabataan mula sa iba’t ibang barangay ang nabigyan ng maayos, ligtas, at malinis na circumcision procedure sa tulong ng mga medical practitioner at volunteers. Layunin ng programa na makatulong sa mga magulang na hindi kayang tustusan ang gastusin sa naturang operasyon habang tinitiyak na ang mga kabataan ay mabibigyan ng wastong pangangalagang pangkalusugan.

Hindi lamang serbisyong medikal ang inihatid ng RMFB 8 kundi maging mahalagang kaalaman para sa komunidad. Habang nagpapatuloy ang operasyon, nagsagawa rin ng educational symposium para sa mga magulang at guardian sa waiting area. Tinalakay din ng kapulisan ang mahahalagang probisyon ng Republic Act 11313 o “Bawal Bastos Law” at Republic Act 9262 o Anti-Violence Against Women and Their Children Act. Nagpamigay rin sila ng information flyers at road safety reminders upang mapalawak pa ang kamalayan ng publiko.

Naging posible ang matagumpay na aktibidad dahil sa pagtutulungan ng Tacloban City Health Office, mga doktor mula sa Philippine Academy of Family Physicians Residents’ Organization (PAFRO), Battalion Advisory Group for Police Transformation and Development (BAGPTD), at mga personnel ng RMFB 8 na nagkaisa upang maihatid ang serbisyong kailangan ng komunidad.

“The PNP remains committed to programs that genuinely uplift the lives of our people, especially the youth. Small acts of service can create lasting impact in the community,” pahayag ni PGEN Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr. “Sa pamamagitan ng mga ganitong programa, ipinapakita natin na ang kapulisan ay hindi lamang tagapagpatupad ng batas kundi katuwang din ng mamamayan sa pangangalaga ng kanilang kapakanan.”

Dagdag pa ni PGEN Nartatez, “Community outreach activities strengthen the connection between the police and the public through compassion and service. Patuloy nating ilalapit ang mga programang may tunay na pakinabang sa ating mga kababayan.”

Kasabay ng patuloy na pagsasagawa ng mga programang pangkomunidad, isinusulong ng PNP ang PNP Focused Agenda—isang direksyon ng pagbabago na naglalayong higit pang mapalapit ang serbisyo-pulisya sa mamamayan. Sa pamamagitan ng Enhanced Managing Police Operations at Active Community Support, mas pinagtitibay ng organisasyon ang pagtugon nito sa pangangailangan ng publiko sa pamamagitan ng makabuluhang inisyatiba para sa komunidad.

Habang patuloy na isinusulong ng Philippine National Police ang mga programang nakatuon sa kalusugan, kapakanan, at mas matibay na ugnayan sa mamamayan, pinatitibay nito ang hangarin ng “Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong mabilis, tapat, at nararamdaman.”

The Philippine National Police (PNP) reported a continued decline in major crime incidents nationwide following the intensified implementation of the Safer Cities Initiative launched on April 6, 2026, which strengthened focused anti-criminality operations across key urban and high-risk areas.

Based on the latest monitoring period covering April 6 to May 6, 2026, total focus crime incidents decreased from 3,047 to 2,684, or 363 fewer cases, reflecting a 12% overall reduction in crime.

Meanwhile, murder and robbery cases both registered a 7.4% reduction, from 339 to 314 and 363 to 336 cases, respectively.

According to the PNP, the sustained high clearance and improving solution efficiency rates demonstrate the effectiveness of intensified police operations and evidence-driven investigations.

Chief PNP, Police General Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., welcomed the development while emphasizing the need for sustained police presence and community cooperation.

“Ang pagbaba ng focus crimes ay resulta ng tuloy-tuloy na trabaho ng ating mga pulis sa buong bansa, kasama ang suporta ng mga komunidad at local government units. Hindi tayo titigil hangga’t hindi mas lalo pang nararamdaman ng mamamayan ang seguridad sa kanilang mga lugar,” PGen Nartatez said.

He added that the PNP remains focused on improving investigations and immediate police response to incidents.

“We continue to strengthen our operational readiness and investigative capabilities. As your PNP, we will continue to improve our operations and ensure that our people feel safe in their homes, workplaces, and communities. Our goal is simple — a police organization that the public can trust and rely on every day,” he added.

The PNP assured the public that intensified anti-criminality operations and community engagement efforts will continue nationwide as part of the organization’s commitment to Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong Mabilis, Tapat at Nararamdaman.

JOINT PNP-DSWD OPERATION RESCUES 3 MINORS IN CAVITE; FOREIGN NATIONAL FACES RAPS

Three minor girls were safely rescued while a foreign national was arrested during a joint law enforcement and social welfare operation conducted by the Philippine National Police (PNP), through the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG), in Naic, Cavite on May 6, 2026, following reports of alleged child abuse and unlawful withholding of minors.

The operation was carried out by personnel of the CIDG Cavite Provincial Field Unit, together with social workers from the Municipal Social Welfare and Development Office and the Naic Municipal Police Station, inside a compound in Barangay Sabang.

Authorities arrested a 41-year-old American national known by the alias “Ameer,” who was reportedly keeping the minors under his custody and allegedly preventing them from returning to their family. Initial investigation also disclosed allegations of sexual abuse involving the rescued minors and other children previously staying in the area.

The case stemmed from a complaint made by the children’s mother, an overseas Filipino worker, who sought government assistance after learning about the situation of her daughters. Two of the minors were reportedly able to leave the compound and seek help, which eventually led to the rescue operation.

The rescued minors were immediately turned over to social welfare authorities for proper care, assessment, and intervention, while criminal charges are being prepared against the suspect.

Chief PNP, PGEN Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., commended the operating units and partner agencies for their swift and coordinated response.

“Hindi natin hahayaang mapabayaan o matakot ang ating mga kabataan. Ang tungkulin natin ay protektahan sila at tiyaking may pananagutan ang sinumang umaabuso sa kanila. We assure the public that the PNP will continue to work closely with concerned agencies to safeguard children and support victims,” PGen Nartatez said.

He also emphasized that the PNP remains firm yet careful in handling cases involving minors to ensure that the rights and welfare of victims are protected throughout the investigation.

This operation is in line with the PNP Focused Agenda on Enhanced Managing Police Operations and supports the directive of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. to strengthen the protection of vulnerable sectors, especially children.

The PNP, together with the DSWD and partner agencies, continues to urge the public to report cases involving abuse and exploitation of minors as part of the Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong Mabilis, Tapat at Nararamdaman.

Chief PNP, Police General Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., commended the operating units for the successful operation and underscored the importance of protecting the public from illegal fuel trading activities.

Ang mga ganitong uri ng ilegal na operasyon ay may epekto hindi lamang sa ekonomiya kundi maging sa kaligtasan ng publiko. Patuloy ang ating mahigpit na kampanya laban sa mga lumalabag sa batas,” PGEN Nartatez said.

Cases for violation of existing laws regulating the sale, transport, and distribution of petroleum products are now being prepared against the arrested suspects.

The PNP assured the public that sustained operations against illegal fuel activities will continue nationwide as part of its commitment to public safety, consumer protection, and economic security.
