The Philippine National Police (PNP), through its Anti-Cybercrime Group (ACG), further intensified its campaign against cyber-enabled crimes after recording significant operational accomplishments from June 1 to 15, 2026.

During the period, ACG referred 95 cybercrime cases for filing through regular and inquest proceedings. The unit also arrested 43 individuals through various law enforcement operations, including entrapment operations and the service of warrants. In addition, six individuals were convicted in separate cybercrime cases.

To strengthen cyber investigations, ACG implemented 57 Warrants to Disclose Computer Data and three Warrants to Search, Seize, and Examine Computer Data. Cyber operatives likewise conducted more than 1,100 cyber patrolling activities, completed 23 digital forensic examinations, and successfully rescued 10 victims of cyber-related offenses.

These accomplishments are aligned with the PNP Focused Agenda under Enhanced Managing Police Operations by strengthening cyber law enforcement and improving the capability of police units to respond to emerging digital threats.

Police General Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., PNP Chief, commended the sustained efforts of ACG and reminded the public that cybercrime prevention is a shared responsibility.

“Habang patuloy na umuunlad ang teknolohiya, mas lalo rin nating paiigtingin ang ating kakayahan laban sa mga krimeng gumagamit ng digital platforms. Hindi tayo titigil sa pagpapatupad ng batas at sa pagprotekta sa ating mga kababayan. Kasabay nito, hinihikayat natin ang publiko na maging mapanuri at responsable sa kanilang online activities upang hindi mabiktima ng mga manloloko,” he said.

PNP remains committed to strengthening its cybercrime prevention and enforcement efforts by continuously enhancing its operational capabilities and reinforcing public awareness against online threats. Through sustained law enforcement initiatives and stronger collaboration with the community, the organization aims to ensure a safer and more secure digital environment for every Filipino.
