Operatives of the Southern Police District (SPD) arrested a 33-year-old man wanted for child abuse during a coordinated operation in Barangay Magallanes, Makati City.

The suspect, known by the alias “Airon,” was apprehended at around 5:15 p.m. on 31 March in front of a convenience store at PTX Zentrum along Chino Roces Avenue. Police said the operation was executed without incident.

According to the SPD, the arrest stemmed from a warrant issued for violation of the Special Protection of Children Against Abuse, Exploitation and Discrimination Act.

In a statement, SPD District Director PBGEN Randy Y. Arceo lauded the operatives for their work, saying the district remains focused on tracking individuals facing charges related to child abuse.

“We remain committed to protecting the vulnerable, especially children, by ensuring that those accused of abuse are brought before the court to answer for their actions,” Arceo said.
