Pasay City police arrested a Korean national on Friday night who is listed as most wanted in connection with a rape case.
The suspect has a standing arrest warrant issued by a court, which did not recommend bail.
According to the Philippine National Police (PNP), operatives from the NAIA Police Station 1, in coordination with the Manila Police District–Women and Children Concern Section (MPD-WCCS), served the arrest warrant at Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 1.
The suspect was immediately placed under the custody of MPD-WCCS.
PNP acting chief Police Lieutenant General Jose Melencio Nartatez Jr. said the arrest underscores the police’s commitment to enforcing the authority of the courts.
“Walang sinuman ang maaaring umiwas sa pananagutan. Our responsibility is to ensure that justice is pursued and that victims are given the protection they deserve. Patuloy naming gagampanan ang aming tungkulin para sa kaligtasan ng mamamayan,” he added.
