IN separate law enforcement operations, police authorities successfully apprehended two high-profile fugitives listed as top most wanted persons facing serious charges of rape and acts of lasciviousness in Metro Manila and Caloocan City.
The first operation unfolded on October 12, 2026, at approximately 1:20 p.m., when operatives from the Warrant and Intelligence Section—led by PCPT Mark Xyrus B. Santos—apprehended alias “Jun-Jun.”
The 39-year-old online seller was tracked down in front of a residence along Tahong Alley in Kaunlaran Village, Barangay 20, Caloocan City.
The suspect is listed as a top 4 most wanted person at the station level, was wanted under an alias warrant for rape issued by Presiding Judge Cielitolindo A. Luyun of the Regional Trial Court Branch 36 in Gapan City, dating back to September 1, 2014.
Alias “Jun-jun” was informed of his rights in Tagalog, opting to remain silent, and was subsequently transferred to the Raxabago Police Station (PS1) in Tondo, Manila, pending the return of the warrant to the court of origin.
A day later, on October 13, 2026, at around 3:40 p.m., a separate manhunt operation led by PLT Ferdinand Omli under the supervision of PS12 Station Commander PLTCOL Felimon B. Cacap resulted in the capture of another fugitive.
Alias “Crispin,” a 33-year-old helper, was cornered inside a house along Elcano Street in Tondo, Manila.
The suspect, listed as a top 3 most wanted person at the station level, faced multiple charges, including rape by sexual assault under Article 266-A and three counts of acts of lasciviousness.
The arrest warrants were issued by Presiding Judge Maria Lorenza L. Barias-Siosana of RTC Branch 38, Manila, with recommended bails set at ₱120,000 and ₱108,000, respectively.
Alias “Crispin” is currently detained at the PS12 custodial facility as authorities prepare documentation for the formal return of the warrants to the respective courts.
