P30-M equipment seized, 1 arrested in Pampanga food production ops

CITY OF SAN FERNANDO, Pampanga — The Philippine National Police (PNP), through the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG), implemented a court-issued search warrant in the City of San Fernando on Wednesday (May 6), resulting in the arrest of one individual and the discovery of manufacturing equipment and finished goods worth approximately P30 million.

Acting on a warrant issued by the Regional Trial Court in San Fernando City, CIDG Pampanga Provincial Field Unit, with support from regional intelligence units, local police, and regulatory agencies, conducted the operation at a facility linked to a corporate entity under investigation for alleged violations of food and drug regulations.

One male individual was arrested during the operation, while other identified incorporators were not present and will be subject to further legal proceedings.

Authorities secured various production equipment and materials, including storage tanks, mixing and blending systems, boilers, filtration units, and finished food extract products. All items remain secured on-site to preserve evidence.

PNP Chief, Police General Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., said the operation reflects the organization’s commitment to lawful and professional enforcement.

“Ang ganitong operasyon ay patunay na tuloy-tuloy ang ating kampanya para protektahan ang publiko. We remain firm but fair in enforcing the law,” he said.

The operation aligns with the PNP Focused Agenda under Enhanced Managing Police Operations, and supports the directive of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. to strengthen regulatory enforcement and public trust. (UnliNews Online)
