MANILA, Philippines - A district-level Most Wanted Person was arrested during an operation conducted on March 31 along Malvar Street, Barangay Bagumbuhay, Project 4, Quezon City, the Philippine National Police (PNP) said on Thursday. 

Operatives from the District Special Operations Unit of the Quezon City Police District carried out the arrest by virtue of a Warrant of Arrest for six counts of Qualified Rape of a Minor under. The court recommended no bail for the accused, who is now under police custody for proper legal proceedings.

The operation highlights the sustained efforts of the PNP in tracking down wanted persons involved in heinous crimes. It also reflects the continuing implementation of the PNP Focused Agenda—a strategic framework of transformation designed to make police service more responsive and accountable. 

Among its key priorities, Enhanced Managing Police Operations remains crucial in ensuring the effective pursuit and arrest of fugitives, particularly those charged with serious offenses, and in reinforcing the swift administration of justice.

PGEN Nartatez emphasized, “We will continue to run after individuals who attempt to evade justice, especially those accused of grave offenses. No matter how long it takes, the law will catch up with them.” 

He further stated, “Operations like this reinforce our commitment to protect the most vulnerable members of society and uphold the rule of law with determination.” He also said, “Tungkulin naming siguraduhin na ligtas ang komunidad, lalo na ang mga kabataan. Ang sinumang lumabag sa batas ay pananagutin namin.”
