The National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) has vowed to further beef up its operations against wanted persons across Metro Manila.

NCRPO Acting Regional Director Police Brigadier General Christopher Abrahano has directed all district directors and unit commanders to strengthen intelligence-driven operations, intensify manhunt operations, and ensure the prompt implementation of all remaining warrants of arrest against individuals facing criminal charges.

Abrahano emphasized that the NCRPO's campaign to locate and arrest fugitives will remain relentless, particularly against most wanted persons and suspects facing multiple criminal charges.

From 23 August, when Abrahano assumed leadership of the NCRPO, to 9 November, a total of 3,641 fugitives were arrested by the NCRPO, including 1,188 most wanted persons and 2,453 other wanted persons, both in and outside Metro Manila.

The NCRPO chief also assured that the campaign against wanted persons will be pursued without exception, regardless of an individual's social standing, influence, connections, or former position.

Meanwhile, Abrahano directed all NCRPO units to remain aggressive and vigilant in implementing court orders while ensuring that the rights of every person arrested are respected.
