PNP SEIZES ₱6.4M SMUGGLED CI******ES; WAREHOUSE OWNER ARRESTED IN ZAMBOANGA SIBUGAY

The Philippine National Police, under the leadership of PNP Chief PGEN Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., implemented a Search Warrant for Violation of Republic Act No. 10643 on May 28, 2026 in Titay, Zamboanga Sibugay, resulting in the arrest of a warehouse owner and the seizure of large quantities of smuggled ci******es.

The operation was led by the Zamboanga Sibugay Maritime Police Station, in coordination with the Regional Maritime Unit 9 – Special Operations Response Team, Titay Municipal Police Station, Regional Intelligence Unit 9, and the Provincial Intelligence Unit of Zamboanga Sibugay.

Acting on a court-issued warrant, the operating teams conducted a search at a warehouse owned by the suspect, where assorted smuggled ci******es were discovered and confiscated. The total estimated value of seized items reached ₱6,418,224.00.

The warehouse owner was informed of his constitutional rights. He was subsequently brought to the Zamboanga Sibugay Maritime Police Station for documentation and proper disposition prior to the filing of appropriate charges for violation of Republic Act No. 10643, also known as the Anti-Illicit Trade of To***co Act.

The operation reflects the implementation of the PNP Focused Agenda—a transformation-driven framework designed to enhance accountability, strengthen operational effectiveness, and improve public service delivery.
Anchored on key priorities such as Integrity Monitoring and Enhanced Managing Police Operations, the agenda continues to guide sustained efforts against smuggling and other illegal trade activities.

PNP Chief PGEN Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr. stated: “We remain firm in our commitment to stop smuggling activities that undermine government revenues and affect lawful trade.”

“Patuloy naming ipinatutupad ang batas laban sa mga ilegal na kalakal upang mapanatili ang kaayusan at maprotektahan ang kabuhayan ng mamamayan,” he added.

As the PNP intensifies its campaign against smuggling 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.”

Pinaaalalahanan din ang bawat isa na palakasin ang seguridad ng kanilang mga online account sa pamamagitan ng paggamit ng two-factor authentication at matitibay na password. Iwasan ang labis na pagbabahagi ng personal na impormasyon sa social media, kabilang ang sensitibong detalye tulad ng mga ID, boarding pass, at eksaktong lokasyon, at laging suriin ang kredibilidad ng pinagmumulan ng impormasyon bago maniwala o mag-share.

Bilang bahagi ng PNP Focused Agenda, patuloy ang mas pinaigting na kampanya laban sa cybercrime at disinformation upang maprotektahan ang publiko sa digital na espasyo. Kung may kahina-hinalang aktibidad o posibleng biktima ng online scam, agad na mag-report sa Anti-Cybercrime Group (ACG). Sa ganitong adhikain, nananatiling tapat ang PNP sa tungkulin nitong maghatid ng proteksyon at serbisyo sa sambayanan: “Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong mabilis, tapat, at nararamdaman.”
