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.

BAYANIHAN SA IFUGAO: PNP AT KOMUNIDAD NAGKATUWANG SA RIPRAP PROJECT

Isang makabuluhang pagpapakita ng bayanihan ang naganap sa Barangay Kihdog, Baang, Hungduan, Ifugao noong umaga ng Mayo 8, 2026, kung saan nagkaisa ang kapulisan at mga residente sa pagsasagawa ng riprap project na naglalayong maprotektahan ang lupa laban sa pagguho at mapanatili ang katatagan ng paligid ng isang residente sa lugar.

Sa ilalim ng pamumuno ni Philippine National Police Chief Police General Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., aktibong nakibahagi ang Regional Public Safety Battalion Team ng Regional Mobile Force Battalion 15 (RMFB 15), 1501st Maneuver Company, at 1st Integrated Provincial Mobile Force Company (IPMFC), katuwang ang mga opisyal ng barangay at mga boluntaryo mula sa komunidad.

Sa sama-samang pagkilos, inihakot at inihanda ang mga bato na gagamitin para sa riprap structure na mahalaga upang maiwasan ang pagguho ng lupa at mapalakas ang seguridad ng lugar. Sa pamamagitan ng gawaing ito, mas lalo pang tumibay ang ugnayan ng kapulisan at mamamayan sa pamamagitan ng aktibong pagtutulungan sa komunidad.

Ang ganitong inisyatiba ay kaakibat ng PNP Focused Agenda na patuloy na nagsusulong ng mas pinaigting na Enhanced Managing Police Operations at Active Community Support, na nakatuon sa mas malapit na pakikipag-ugnayan sa komunidad at pagtugon sa kanilang mga pangangailangan sa seguridad at kaayusan.

“This kind of activity shows that the police are not only law enforcers but also partners of the community. Ang kapulisan ay katuwang ng mamamayan sa pagbuo ng mas ligtas na pamayanan,” ayon kay Police General Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr.

“Unity between the police and the community builds stronger trust and cooperation. Sa pagkakaisa ng kapulisan at komunidad, mas nagiging matatag ang ating lipunan,” dagdag niya.

Sa patuloy na pagsasagawa ng mga ganitong inisyatiba, higit na pinagtitibay ng Philippine National Police ang kanilang tungkulin sa paglilingkod at pakikipag-ugnayan sa komunidad, na naglalayong itaguyod ang kapayapaan, kaayusan, at kaunlaran sa antas ng barangay, alinsunod sa adhikain nitong “Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong mabilis, tapat, at nararamdaman.”
