“These arrests clearly manifest our relentless drive to pursue fugitives and high-value drug personalities who continue to pose a threat to our communities. Guided by our Strategic Direction—Protect the People, Pursue Peace and Order, and Promote Professionalism—and in support of the programs of our Acting Chief PNP, Lt. Gen. Nartatez Jr., we will not allow lawless elements to thrive in Central Luzon. This is our solemn duty to the people we serve, and we will continue to carry it out with integrity and resolve,” RD Peñones said. (UnliNews Online)
