PNP makes moves versus kidnapping and fake news

April 22, 2025April 21, 2025carlocarrasco

The Philippine National Police (PNP) is tackling both kidnapping and fake news by establishing two specific committees, according to a Philippine News Agency (PNA) news article. The moves are in response to a rise of fake news reports related to kidnapping.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the report of the PNA news article. Some parts in boldface…

The Philippine National Police (PNP) has formally established two specialized committees — the Joint Anti-Kidnapping Action Committee (JAKAC) and the Joint Anti-Fake News Action Committee (JAFNAC) — to reinforce its commitment to public safety and truth in information.

In a statement on Monday, PNP chief Gen. Rommel Francisco Marbil said the JAKAC will focus on identifying, investigating, and neutralizing organized kidnap-for-hire operations in the country, while the JAFNAC will address the growing menace of misinformation and disinformation that threaten public trust, peace, and national stability.

He said the formation of these committees are aligned with President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.’s Bagong Pilipinas vision, and reflects the PNP’s commitment to transparent, accountable, and proactive policing.

“These committees are not just organizational measures — they are proactive responses to modern-day threats. From kidnap-for-hire syndicates to digital disinformation campaigns, the PNP is moving decisively to protect our people. This is our commitment to Bagong Pilipinas — ensuring that law and truth prevail,” Marbil said.

“These initiatives are grounded on the principle that a secure and informed citizenry is key to national development.”

The formation of JAKAC, to be led by PNP Deputy Chief for Investigation Lt. Gen. Edgar Alan Okubo, comes in the wake of the successful resolution of the kidnapping and murder case of businessman Anson Que and his driver Armanie Pabillo.

Marbil commended Okubo and the Special Investigation Task Group (SITG) for their decisive action on the case, with three suspects arrested and two others still being hunted.

Alongside kidnapping cases, the spread of fake news also poses significant challenges.

In recent weeks, unverified reports of alleged kidnappings of prominent businessmen have circulated online, prompting alarm and misinformation. The PNP has debunked these claims as baseless and is actively pursuing those behind these malicious posts.

Let me end this post by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this recent development? Do you think the Philippines has a serious problem with fake news online as millions of Filipinos log into social media networks daily? Has your local community been affected by fake news over the past two weeks?

Eight EPD cops charged over illegal operation in Las Piñas City

April 16, 2025April 11, 2025carlocarrasco

Recently in the City of Las Piñas, eight members of the Eastern Police District (EPD) got charged over a rogue police operation in which P85 million was stolen from a Chinese businessman, according to a Philippine News Agency (PNA) news article.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the news article of the PNA. Some parts in boldface…

State prosecutors found probable cause to charge eight members of the Eastern Police District (EPD) who allegedly stole PHP85 million from a Chinese trader in an unauthorized police operation in Las Piñas City.

In a statement on Friday, National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) Director, Maj. Gen. Anthony Aberin, said the Office of the City Prosecutor filed before the court on Thursday a complaint of kidnapping and two counts of robbery against the eight suspects, who are members of the EPD’s District Special Operations Unit (DSOU).

These cases stemmed from an operation where the eight officers served a bogus arrest warrant against the victim on April 2.

The victim and the relatives claimed that the cops shut down their closed-circuit television (CCTV) camera, forcibly opened their vaults, and took away the money in pesos, US dollars, and Malaysian ringgit; jewelry; gadgets, and other personal belongings worth PHP85 million.

“Let me be clear – the NCRPO does not shield any wrongdoing. I will not condone any misdeed perpetrated by any member of NCRPO and I will ensure the filing of airtight cases against police scalawags,” Aberin said.

“We will closely monitor the progress of these criminal cases and we shall ensure that the administrative investigation will result in their dismissal from the service, based on evidence and due process of law.”

Philippine National Police spokesperson Brig. Gen. Jean Fajardo earlier said the sacked DSOU commander, Maj. Emerson Coballes, was tagged as AWOL (absent without official leave) after he did not comply with a return to work order from the NCRPO.

Coballes did not report for duty after the NCRPO found out that the raid on the house of the Chinese businessman was intended to rob him, as the foreigner did not fit the description of the man in the arrest warrant.

Aberin said the complaint against Coballes is set for preliminary investigation on April 22 and 29.

Troublesome Russian streamer to stay in country to be formally charged

April 9, 2025April 8, 2025carlocarrasco

The troublesome Russian streamer Vitaly Zdorovetskiy won’t be leaving the Philippines any time soon as he will be formally charged for what he committed in public recently, according to a news article by the Philippine News Agency (PNA). He was presented to the media in the presence of Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) Secretary Jonvic Remulla.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the report of the PNA news article. Some parts in boldface…

Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) Secretary Jonvic Remulla on Monday said Russian vlogger Vitaly Zdorovetskiy will have to stay longer in the country to face criminal charges for harassing and insulting Filipinos for content.

Remulla said Zdorovetskiy will not be deported until such time that a final verdict is handed down by a Philippine court.

“Babala na rin ito (This is also a warning). People have to take responsibility for the content they create. It is not a license to shame or to hurt or to besmirch anyone,” Remulla said in a press conference in Quezon City.

Remulla said the Russian, arrested April 2 in Pasay, is under the custody of the Bureau of Immigration “as an undesirable alien and a flight risk.”

At least five criminal charges were filed against Zdorevetskiy, including a case in Boracay Island where he allegedly insulted a windsurfing instructor.

“He has been making vlogs and making money out of disrespecting people. But not in our own land. We will not allow him to insult and disrespect any Filipino,” Remulla said.

During the press briefing, the moderator had to remind the Russian to behave after he was seen murmuring and making gestures apparently aimed at the DILG chief. Remulla said he heard Zdorevetskiy cursing at him.

Let me end this post by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this recent development? Do you think the way the local authorities are handling Vitaly Zdorovetskiy will send a strong message to troublesome foreign streamers that they will be held accountable if they harass locals while staying in the Philippines? Do you think Congress should pass new laws to deal with problematic vloggers and live streamers? Should the national government be more active in dealing with streaming platforms whose account holders include troublesome streamers and vloggers? Do you think the government Russia will do something about the arrested Vitaly Zdorovetskiy?
