PNP, BI NABS 2 FOREIGNERS IN FRAUD CASE

The Philippine National Police, under the command of PGEN Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., arrested two foreign fugitives involved in a transnational telecom fraud operation at around 6:30 PM on April 8, 2026, in Matabungkay, Lian, Batangas.

Joint elements from the Intelligence Group, Police Regional Office 4A (PRO 4A), and the Bureau of Immigration (BI) conducted the operation. The arrest was carried out by virtue of Bureau of Immigration deportation orders, arrest warrants for fraud issued by the Omiya Summary Court in Japan, and a Target Intelligence Packet dated April 7, 2026.

Authorities confirmed that the arrested individuals, both Japanese nationals, are fugitives from justice linked to a telecom fraud syndicate that operated in Cambodia and victimized Japanese nationals. They are currently under the custody of the Bureau of Immigration for proper documentation prior to deportation.

The successful operation underscores the PNP’s intensified efforts against transnational crimes and its firm stance that foreign fugitives will not find refuge in the country. Anchored on the PNP Focused Agenda—an operational framework of transformation designed to make police service more responsive and accountable—this accomplishment highlights the key priority of enhanced management of police operations, ensuring effective coordination, intelligence-driven actions, and rapid enforcement against cross-border criminal activities.

PGEN Nartatez underscored the importance of sustained law enforcement efforts against international criminal networks. “Foreign fugitives who attempt to hide in our country will be tracked and arrested. Our commitment is to ensure that justice is upheld and that our communities remain protected from organized crime,” he said. “Hindi tayo papayag na gawing taguan ang Pilipinas ng mga dayuhang kriminal. Pananagutin sila sa batas.”

He further highlighted the value of strong coordination with international counterparts. “This operation demonstrates our continued cooperation with foreign partners to ensure that those involved in global fraud schemes are brought to justice,” he added. “Patuloy ang ating pakikipag-ugnayan sa ibang bansa upang mapanagot ang mga sangkot sa ganitong krimen.”

As the PNP strengthens its campaign against transnational criminal networks and reinforces international law enforcement cooperation 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.”

The Philippine National Police (PNP), in close coordination with the Department of Energy (DOE), is actively monitoring the fuel supply situation from March 1 to April 9, 6:00 a.m., to ensure public access and prevent unlawful practices.

During this period, 387 of the country’s 14,519 gas stations were temporarily closed due to non-delivery of petroleum products. In coordination with the DOE, the PNP continues to monitor and act against illegal activities, including hoarding, profiteering, oil pilferage, estafa, theft, and violations of PD 1865, resulting in a total of 17 cases and 42 arrests.

“Kasama ang DOE, tuloy-tuloy ang ating monitoring sa fuel situation at ang pagsasampa ng kaso laban sa mga lumalabag sa batas. We remain committed to protecting the public at tiyakin ang patas na kalakalan,” said Police General Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., Chief, PNP.

One of the significant enforcement actions during this period occurred on April 8, 2026, in San Pablo City, Laguna, where several individuals involved in oil pilferage and related illegal activities were arrested, and petroleum products and equipment worth over Php 3.5 million were confiscated.

These efforts are aligned with the PNP Focused Agenda under Enhanced Managing Police Operations, ensuring that law enforcement remains responsive to emerging public concerns while maintaining vigilance.

The PNP urges the public to report any illegal or unethical practices related to fuel supply and pricing to the nearest police station, call Unified 911, or use official PNP hotlines. Violators will be dealt with firmly in accordance with existing laws.

“We encourage everyone to remain vigilant at agad i-report ang anumang kahina-hinalang aktibidad,” he added.

This initiative supports the vision of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. and the “Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong Mabilis, Tapat at Nararamdaman.”

PNP WARNS PUBLIC ON ONLINE INVESTMENT SCAMS AFTER RECENT ARREST

The Philippine National Police (PNP) sounded the alarm anew on online investment scams after a group behind an illegal scheme was recently arrested in Santa Rosa City, Laguna.

Operatives of the PNP Anti-Cybercrime Group (ACG), in coordination with the Securities and Exchange Commission, conducted an entrapment operation that led to the arrest of a suspected group leader and 14 associates. The group allegedly enticed victims to join an unregistered online investment scheme, promising high returns and lifetime benefits in exchange for membership fees.

The PNP noted that while cases of investment scams have shown a decline—from 634 in 2024 to 311 in 2025, and 74 recorded from January to March 2026—the threat remains significant as scammers continue to adapt their tactics online.

PNP Chief, Police General Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., emphasized the need for vigilance among the public.

“May mga nanlilinlang pa rin, lalo na online. Paalala namin, huwag basta maniwala sa alok na malaking kita—siguraduhing lehitimo muna,” he said.

He added that the recent arrest should serve as a strong reminder that the PNP is actively pursuing those behind these schemes.

“We will continue to go after these groups. Hindi namin hahayaang maloko ang ating mga kababayan. At the same time, we need the public’s cooperation—be cautious, verify first before investing, and report suspicious activities immediately.”

The PNP reiterated simple reminders: avoid deals that promise guaranteed high returns, check if the company is registered with proper authorities, and never send money to unknown individuals or online platforms without verification.

This intensified campaign is part of the PNP Focused Agenda under Enhanced Managing Police Operations, aligned with the directive of President Ferdinand R Marcos Jr. to strengthen public protection against financial crimes.

The PNP assures the public that operations against cyber-enabled scams will remain aggressive and sustained, as it continues to uphold its commitment to “Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong Mabilis, Tapat at Nararamdaman.”

He also issued a reminder to the public and a stern warning to those engaged in similar illegal activities. “Sa ating mga kababayan, be cautious and discerning when buying products, lalo na kung may kinalaman sa kalusugan. Huwag basta magtitiwala sa mga kahina-hinalang transaksyon. At sa mga gumagawa nito, this is our warning—hindi kayo makakalusot. Mananagot kayo sa batas.

The successful operation highlights the commitment of the PNP to curb illegal activities that undermine environmental protection and national interest. As the PNP strengthens its drive against environmental violations and transnational offenses 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.”

“We will continue to pursue those responsible and ensure that they are held accountable under the law. Tuloy-tuloy ang aming aksyon upang matunton at mahuli ang mga sangkot sa kasong ito,” he added.

As the PNP intensifies operations against smuggling and consumer fraud to protect the public and uphold lawful commerce 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.”
