A MOST wanted person (MWP) from Mandaluyong City surrendered to personnel of the Pototan Municipal Police Station (MPS) in Barangay Batuan, Pototan, Iloilo at 10:15 a.m. on June 3, 2026.
Police Brigadier General Randulf Tuaño, acting regional director of the Police Regional Office in Western Visayas (PRO 6), commended the Pototan Municipal Police Station for facilitating the surrender of the wanted person.
“This accomplishment reflects the commitment of PRO 6 to support the nationwide campaign against wanted persons, regardless of where they may be hiding. Through persistent tracking, coordination, and lawful police operations, we will continue to ensure that persons with warrants of arrest are brought before the court and made to answer the charges against them through due process,” Tuaño said.
The suspect, identified only as alias Herven, 28, a resident of Barangay Batuan, Pototan, is listed as the sixth City-Level MWP of Mandaluyong City.
