10 ARRESTED, 22 VICTIMS RESCUED IN WEEK-LONG PNP CYBERCRIME OPERATIONS
Under the leadership of PGen Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., Chief, Philippine National Police (PNP), the PNP Anti-Cybercrime Group (ACG) arrested 10 individuals and rescued 22 victims in cybercrime-related operations conducted nationwide from September 18 to 24, 2026.
Six of the arrests were made by virtue of warrants of arrest, while four resulted from entrapment operations. The operations involved investigation, cyber patrolling, intelligence monitoring, and coordination with complainants and other law enforcement agencies.
PGen Nartatez said the PNP will continue to respond to cybercrime cases while ensuring that victims are properly assisted.
“Online threats can affect people without warning, and our response has to keep pace. We will continue to act on complaints, pursue leads, and provide assistance to those affected. Ang mahalaga, hindi natin hinahayaan na mapabayaan ang mga biktima,” PGen Nartatez said.
The operations are part of the PNP’s Enhanced Managing Police Operations (EMPO) under the PNP Focused Agenda, particularly in addressing emerging forms of crime and improving police response to incidents involving digital platforms.
The PNP continues to strengthen its cybercrime capabilities in support of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.’s call for effective law enforcement and safer communities. The efforts are likewise aligned with the vision of “Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong Mabilis, Tapat at Nararamdaman,” extending police service and assistance to the public even in the digital environment.
