The Philippine National Police (PNP) has reaffirmed its commitment to integrity and justice amid a multi-agency investigation into anomalies involving flood control projects.

Speaking during the Independent Commission for Infrastructure (ICI) High Command Conference, acting PNP Chief Lt. Gen. Jose Melencio Nartatez Jr. stressed that the PNP’s duty extends beyond law enforcement to upholding truth and public trust.

“As protectors of the law and defenders of truth, it is our duty to ensure that every investigation is conducted with integrity and fairness,” Nartatez said. “We will not yield to any influence or compromise because every step we take must be guided by honesty, accountability, and justice for the Filipino people.”

The conference brought together top officials from the Office of the Ombudsman, Department of Justice, National Bureau of Investigation, Armed Forces of the Philippines, Department of Public Works and Highways and the PNP. The meeting focused on exposing and addressing “ghost projects” in public infrastructure.

Nartatez assured the public that the PNP will provide crucial intelligence, forensic, and investigative support to strengthen the government’s case against corruption.

“The PNP is not just an enforcement agency. It is a partner in building a nation founded on accountability and truth,” he said. “Our men and women are dedicated to ensuring that no wrongdoing escapes the reach of justice.”
