Manhunt launched vs ex-BFP officer for illegal recruitment
A nationwide manhunt is underway for former Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) officer Reyca Janisa Palpallatoc, who is wanted for large-scale illegal recruitment charges.
Authorities failed to serve an arrest warrant issued by the Pasay City Regional Trial Court Branch 297 at her residence in Malolos City, Bulacan on January 29, 2025.
Neighbors reported that Palpallatoc returned home in August 2024 but left in a hurry the next day and has not been seen since.
Authorities suspect Palpallatoc may have already fled the country, possibly to Indonesia, to avoid apprehension.
She is accused of exploiting her BFP position to lure victims with deceptive promises of government employment.
Beyond the criminal charges, Palpallatoc is also facing administrative cases for immorality and professional misconduct before the Office of the Ombudsman and the Professional Regulation Commission.
