CALAPAN CITY, Oriental Mindoro โ Demonstrating intensified operational pressure against fugitives and wanted persons across the region, the Police Regional Office MIMAROPA (PRO MIMAROPA) arrested six (6) Most Wanted Persons facing charges for r**e, qualified r**e of a minor, and murder during coordinated 24-hour manhunt operations conducted across Palawan and Occidental Mindoro from May 11 to 12, 2026.
The successful operations were carried out under the command direction of PRO MIMAROPA Acting Regional Director PBGEN Christopher Ramos Dela Cruz through the implementation of the โF.I.G.H.T. C.R.I.M.E.S.โ framework, which strengthens intelligence-driven operations, operational coordination, accountability, and focused law enforcement efforts against criminal elements throughout the region.
Leading the major accomplishments was the arrest of Palawanโs Rank No. 3 Most Wanted Person (Provincial Level) in Roxas, Palawan, who was facing multiple violations of Republic Act 7610 and eleven (11) counts of qualified r**e of a minor.
Separate manhunt operations in Puerto Princesa City likewise resulted in the arrest of the Rank No. 8 Most Wanted Person (Provincial Level), Rank No. 9 Most Wanted Person (City Level), and Rank No. 10 Most Wanted Person (City Level) wanted for murder with the use of an illegally possessed firearm, along with another Rank No. 10 Most Wanted Person (City Level) wanted for r**e.
Meanwhile, intensified operations in Occidental Mindoro led to the arrest of the Rank No. 5 Most Wanted Person (Provincial Level) for qualified r**e by sexual assault during a focused manhunt operation conducted in San Jose, Occidental Mindoro.
The operations highlighted PRO MIMAROPAโs sustained operational tempo, strengthened inter-unit coordination, and relentless campaign to locate, arrest, and bring fugitives before the courts.
โThese successful operations reflect the kind of police service we demand from every unit in PRO MIMAROPA โ deliberate, coordinated, intelligence-driven, and uncompromising against criminality,โ PBGEN Dela Cruz said.
โOur manhunt operations will remain relentless until every wanted person is accounted for and brought before the law,โ he added.
PBGEN Dela Cruz further emphasized that under the โF.I.G.H.T. C.R.I.M.E.S.โ framework, PRO MIMAROPA will continue intensifying intelligence-driven operations, strengthening operational coordination, and sustaining aggressive law enforcement efforts to ensure safer communities across the MIMAROPA region.
All arrested individuals are now under police custody while appropriate documentation and legal procedures are being undertaken by the concerned operating units.
