MANILA — The Philippine National Police (PNP) said it has not received any official communication regarding alleged arrest warrants reportedly issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC) against certain personalities.

PNP chief Gen. Jose Melencio Nartatez Jr. said Thursday that the police organization has not been furnished any formal document that would require operational action.

“As of this time, the PNP has not received any official communication, documentation, or directive from any government agency regarding the alleged ICC warrants. We rely on formal processes and verified information, not speculation or social media posts,” Nartatez said.

The statement was issued amid a circulating social media post claiming that arrest warrants had already been issued against an incumbent lawmaker and two former police officials.

Nartatez clarified that since no official documents have been transmitted, no special instructions have been issued to police units to monitor or track any individuals.

He also said all police personnel have been reminded to adhere to established procedures in line with directives from President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr., through Interior Secretary Jonvic Remulla, emphasizing that all law enforcement actions must remain grounded on the rule of law, due process, and proper legal channels.

The PNP said it continues to coordinate with the Department of the Interior and Local Government, the Department of Justice, the National Bureau of Investigation, and the Bureau of Immigration for situational awareness in case any formal requests are received from competent authorities.

Nartatez added that the police force remains prepared to act once legally required, but stressed that any enforcement action must be based on valid orders and properly transmitted documents.

“The PNP will perform its mandate in accordance with the Constitution, existing laws, and established procedures. We will neither preempt the process nor neglect our responsibilities,” he said.
