Manila Mayor Francisco “Isko Moreno” Domagoso announced on Tuesday afternoon, Jan. 13, the arrest of Manila’s Top 1 Most Wanted Person—a murder suspect linked to the killing of a criminology student in Tondo in October 2023.
The suspect, identified as Prince Aethan Cruz, was apprehended by operatives of the Manila Police District through a warrant of arrest for murder, following an intensive manhunt operation conducted by district intelligence and tracker teams.
Speaking during a livestream at Manila City Hall, Domagoso underscored his administration’s uncompromising stance against criminality, warning that offenders will be pursued and brought to justice no matter how long it takes.
“Gusto ko pong ipaalam sa ating mga kababayan sa lungsod na ’yung Top 1 Most Wanted ng City of Manila at ng Manila Police District ay nakalawit na po, nadala na po ng Manila Police District,” Domagoso said.
“Kapag ginawa niyo ang krimen sa Maynila, we will go after you no matter how long, how short, to find you. There is no place for you in this country once you commit a crime in the City of Manila,” he added. (Diann Calucin)
