The National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) on Friday arrested Metro Manila’s top most wanted fugitive during a coordinated operation in Caloocan City.

The suspect was apprehended along Tanigue Street in Barangay 14 by virtue of a warrant of arrest issued by the Caloocan City Regional Trial Court Branch 128 for the crime of murder. The court did not recommend bail.

Authorities identified the man as the number one most wanted person in the region for August 2025. He was immediately turned over to the Northern Police District custodial facility. Police said the return of the warrant of arrest is now being prepared for submission to the issuing court.
