SWIFT PNP ACTION LEADS TO SAFE RECOVERY OF EXPLOSIVE REMNANTS IN PASAY AIRPORT VICINITY

The Philippine National Police, through its Aviation Security Group Explosives Ordnance Disposal and K9 Unit, promptly responded to a report of suspected Explosive Remnants of War discovered at taxiway within the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Complex in Pasay City on April 26, 2026.

In line with the PNP Focused Agenda under Enhanced Managing Police Operations, EOD/K9 personnel were immediately deployed in coordination with airport security to secure the area and ensure public safety. The operation is part of ongoing efforts under the leadership of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. to strengthen the protection of critical infrastructure nationwide.

Upon thorough assessment, EOD personnel safely recovered six (6) general-purpose bombs weighing 50 pounds each, all confirmed to be inert and heavily corroded. Follow-up clearing operations in the surrounding vicinity led to the recovery of additional items consisting of four (4) more 50-pound bombs and eighteen (18) 25-pound bombs, all likewise assessed as inert and no longer posing active explosive danger.

All recovered materials were properly secured and transported to the AVSECU Headquarters for documentation and safekeeping. The entire operation concluded at approximately 2:50 PM without any untoward incident.

PNP Chief, Police General Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., commended the quick action of the responding personnel, saying, “We acted immediately because safety cannot wait. Ganyan ang trabaho ng PNP—alerto, disiplinado, at laging handa. We assure the public that every report of possible threat is taken seriously and addressed with urgency and care.”

He added that the PNP remains steadfast in its mandate to safeguard communities and vital installations. “Patuloy po ang ating pagbabantay, especially sa mga critical areas. Ang bawat aksyon natin ay para siguruhing ligtas ang ating mga kababayan,” he said.

The PNP assured the public of sustained security operations and proactive measures to prevent any risk to safety, in support of its mandate under Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong Mabilis, Tapat at Nararamdaman.

KAPULISAN, HINANGAAN SA AGARANG PAGTULONG SA INA AT SANGGOL SA KALINGA

Isang ordinaryong checkpoint operation ang nauwi sa isang makabuluhang tagpo ng malasakit matapos agad na rumesponde ang mga tauhan ng Pinukpuk Municipal Police Station sa isang inang may dalang sanggol na nangangailangan ng agarang tulong.

Habang nagpapatupad ng routine inspection sa mga motorista, napansin ng mga pulis ang isang babaeng nakayapak, pagod na pagod, at bitbit ang kanyang sanggol na halatang hindi maayos ang kalagayan. Sa halip na palampasin, agad nila itong nilapitan at inasikaso.

Dalawang police personnel—PCpl Jaynifer D. Pattal at PCpl Arlyn D. Dumayag-Peng-at—ang nanguna sa pag-aalaga sa sanggol. Maingat nilang sinuri ang bata, pinalitan ng diaper, at tiniyak na malinis at komportable ito. Humingi rin sila ng tulong sa mga residente sa lugar na boluntaryong nagbigay ng damit para sa sanggol.

Binigyan din ng pagkain at sandaling pahinga ang ina, habang nag-abot ng tulong pinansyal ang mga pulis para sa pamasahe upang makauwi nang ligtas ang mag-ina.

Ayon kay Chief PNP, Police General Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., ang ganitong mga pagkakataon ay nagpapakita ng tunay na diwa ng serbisyo ng kapulisan.

“Ang pulis na may malasakit ay hindi lang nakatuon sa pagpapatupad ng batas, kundi sa pag-abot ng tulong sa oras ng pangangailangan. Ito ang klase ng serbisyo na nagpapalalim ng tiwala ng ating mga kababayan sa PNP,” ani PGen Nartatez.

Dagdag pa ng Chief PNP, ang ganitong klaseng pagtugon ay patunay na ang kapulisan ay nananatiling malapit sa mamamayan sa oras ng pangangailangan.

Ang pangyayaring ito ay nagsilbing paalala na ang isang checkpoint ay hindi lamang lugar ng inspeksyon, kundi maaari ring maging sandali ng pag-asa at malasakit.

Sa ilalim ng Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong Mabilis, Tapat at Nararamdaman, patuloy na pinapatunayan ng kapulisan na ang tunay na seguridad ay may kasamang puso at malasakit para sa bawat Pilipino.
