Acting Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Lt. Gen. Jose Melencio Nartatez Jr. assured the public that they are fully prepared to implement any lawful orders that may arise from the ongoing legal proceedings related to the “missing sabungeros” case.
“The Philippine National Police is always ready to enforce the law once the proper judicial processes are completed. When an arrest warrant is issued, the PNP will immediately act in coordination with the concerned units and the courts to ensure its proper and lawful implementation,” Nartatez said.
“We will follow due process and make sure that all procedures are done within the bounds of the law. There is no bias, and our only goal is to enforce the law with integrity and respect for everyone’s rights,” he added.
The top cop directed the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) and local police units to be on standby and ready to implement any court-issued warrants.
“At this point, we are closely monitoring developments. We recognize that this is a sensitive case that has drawn public attention. The PNP has prepared security and monitoring measures to ensure peace and order once the resolution is released,” Nartatez said.
“The important thing is, let us remain calm and trust in the justice process. The PNP will continue to do its part to keep the public safe and uphold the rule of law,” he added.
