FIVE Davao City Police Office (DCPO) personnel, led by city director Col Peter Bauzon Madria, received the prestigious Medalya ng Kadakilaan (PNP Heroism Medal) on Monday over a sting operation that seized ₱15.6 million worth of illegal drugs.

Police Regional Office (PRO) XI regional director BGen Leon Victor Z. Rosete handed the awards during a short ceremony at Camp Quintin M. Merecido parade grounds in Buhangin on May 25.

The highest commendation stemmed from a high-stakes tactical operation on May 14, 2026, which led to the arrest of a high-value suspect, identified as alias Bai. 

The sting operation resulted in the seizure of illegal drugs valued at ₱15,640,000 under current Dangerous Drugs Board guidelines, alongside a serial-less .356 revolver and live ammunition.

Aside from Madria, the heroism medal was conferred upon Maj Harold S. Untalan, PSSg Rey Almerez Manligoy, Cpl Stephen Louie P. Bancua, and Patrolman Jake Michael Z. Permito.

According to regional leadership, the awards highlight the unit’s swift enforcement of Republic Act 9165 (The Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002) and Republic Act 10591 (The Comprehensive Firearms and Ammunition Regulation Act).

“This recognition serves as a testament to the relentless pursuit of peace and security by the Davao City Police Office,” the DCPO said in a statement, adding that the commendation underscores the teamwork, professionalism, and high standards maintained by the local force to protect Davaoeños.
