PNP ARRESTS 5 IN CAMARINES SUR FOR ALLEGED FDA LAW VIOLATION, SEIZES P2.47M COOKING OIL

The Philippine National Police (PNP), through the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) and other operating units in Camarines Sur, seized more than ₱2.4 million worth of cooking palm oil during a law enforcement operation in Nabua, Camarines Sur on August 26, 2026.

The operation stemmed from the implementation of a search warrant for an alleged violation of Republic Act No. 9711, or the Food and Drugs Administration Act of 2009. Authorities recovered various containers holding a total of about 76 kilograms of cooking palm oil and 56.4 liters of the same product, along with three digital weighing scales, a closed van, and relevant documents.

Five individuals, all of legal age and Filipino nationals, were apprehended in connection with the operation. One other individual identified in the report remains at large. The arrested individuals and recovered items were brought to the CIDG Camarines Sur Provincial Field Unit for documentation and proper disposition, while appropriate charges are being pursued.

Chief PNP Police General Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr. said the operation reflects the PNP’s continuing effort to address activities that may compromise the safety and welfare of the public.

“We will continue to do our job, especially when there are concerns involving products that reach our communities. Ang mahalaga, napoprotektahan natin ang publiko at nasisiguro na nasusunod ang batas,” PGen Nartatez said.

The operation is part of the PNP’s continuing implementation of its Focused Agenda, particularly Enhanced Managing Police Operations, through coordinated law enforcement efforts with concerned government agencies and units on the ground. It likewise supports the administration of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. in strengthening enforcement against unlawful activities that affect communities and legitimate businesses.

The PNP will continue to pursue cases within the bounds of law and due process, while ensuring that its operations remain focused, coordinated, and responsive to the needs of the public. These efforts form part of the PNP’s commitment to “Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong Mabilis, Tapat at Nararamdaman,” delivering police service that protects communities and upholds the law.
