A 37-year-old man tagged as the most wanted person in Calabarzon for May 2025 surrendered without resistance to the National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) on the evening of May 7.
The suspect, wanted for violating Section 12 of the Dangerous Drugs Act (RA 9165) involving illegal drug paraphernalia, gave himself up to the Regional Mobile Force Battalion following intense manhunt efforts by the NCRPO.
He had been evading a warrant of arrest issued by the Regional Trial Court in Binangonan, Rizal, since November 2024. The suspect, a house painter from Cardona, Rizal, had remained at large for months.
The arrest was carried out in coordination with the Imus City Police Station, highlighting the NCRPO’s targeted strategy for apprehending high-profile fugitives linked to the illegal drug trade.
“When a fugitive surrenders, it’s not by chance—it’s because our presence is felt, our strategy is precise, and our commitment is non-negotiable,” said NCRPO chief Maj. Gen. Anthony Aberin. The suspect is now undergoing documentation and processing.
