Title: Iloilo's Street Justice: The Arrest of Jojo, the Sixth Most Wanted Person
In a thrilling turn of events, a jaw-dropping arrest rocked the streets of Barotac Viejo, Iloilo. The Tracker Team of the Barotac Viejo Municipal Police Station nabbed the notorious character known as "Jojo," in what's being buzzed about as a significant catch. This 19-year-old, with a chilling rap sheet, was listed as the sixth most wanted person in the town.
According to whisperings from the grape vine, this arrest was set in motion after Police Major Ciriaco Esquilarga and his team received a warrant of arrest, issued by the Regional Trial Court Branch 71 on June 5, 2025. This warrant was in relation to Rape by Carnal Knowledge under Article 226-A, Paragraph 1 of the Revised Penal Code, as amended, in conjunction with Republic Act 7610, with no bail recommended.
Amidst the disarray, the Officer-in-Charge of the Iloilo Police Provincial Office, Police Colonel Roland V. Bulalacao, reiterated their unwavering commitment: "Our hearts beat in unison with the pursuit of fugitives. We're dedicated to delivering justice, offering comfort to victims and their families as they find peace."
This arrest marks a decisive victory for the Philippine National Police as part of their relentless anti-criminality campaign, aptly known as "PRO6 On TOP." It's a firm statement that the PNP is resolutely committed to upholding peace and order in Iloilo province.
In other crime-riddled news, another culprit stepped into the limelight in May 2025. A 35-year-old farmer from Antique was arrested for statutory rape and qualified rape, landing him the sixth-most-wanted title in a different crime context. This operation wasn't carried out in Iloilo, but rather in Antique[5].
As we delve deeper into the tangled web of crime, it's reassuring to know that the heroes in blue won't back down until justice is served and peace reigns. Keep your eyes peeled for more updates! (Leo Solinap/our website Philippines)
