"Cops in shootout will be invited"
By Jeannette I. Andrade, Reporter
THE Philippine National Police Internal Affairs Service on Friday denied a motion of the Traffic Management Group to prevent its members involved in a controversial Pasig City shootout last year from appearing before a committee reviewing the case.
Internal Affairs Inspector General Alexis Canonizado denied the plea of Senior Insps. Henry Cerdon, Hansel Marantan, Samson Belmonte, Police Offers
3 Lloyd Soria and Rizalito Ramos; Police Officer 2 Jesus Fermin, Sonny Robrigado and Dexter Bernadas; and Police Officer 1 Fernando Gapuz and Josel Rey Lucena.
The members of the traffic group’s Task Force Limbas had asked for the internal affairs ad hoc committee, headed by Senior Supt. Joselito Casugbo, to stop its investigation into the Pasig City shootout on November 7, where three suspected carjackers were killed.
Senior Insp. Renator Marasigan and the lawyer Neopolito Perilla are the other committee members.
Some quarters have claimed that the encounter between the task force and the suspects—Anthony Brian Dulay, Anton Cu-Unjing and Francis Xavier Manzano—on Ortigas Avenue and Garnet Street was a “rubout.”
The traffic police reportedly spotted the suspects’ Nissan Exalta, and chased them when they refused to stop.
The suspects reportedly fired at the police, injuring Senior Insp. Belmonte below the right kneecap, prompting the police to fire back.
But a private television company—UN-TV—aired video footage of the encounter the next day that apparently showed the government men violating the rules of engagement.
Canonizado disclosed that records of the case were sent to the Ombudsman, which requested them.
He added that the committee has yet to submit the results of the investigation.
“The resolution is still being prepared by the panel in the light of recent developments,” said Canonizado, who declined to elaborate what the “recent developments” were.
Rep. Rufino Biazon of Muntinlupa has also requested for a copy of the panel’
s findings, he said.
My family and I read the news and we are wondering why these cops keep dodging these investigations?
ReplyDeleteHindi sila sumipot 3 beses sa CHR investigation? Eh PNP ito, kampi sa kanila di ba? Sabi ni misis, Internal Affairs ito and not necessarily kampi sa kanila. We think their superiors are preventing them, baka madulas at malaman pa natin kung sino talaga ang nag-utos ng rub-out.
Get the facts straight this time :
ReplyDelete1. they were allegedly chased for making an illegal u-turn by an unmarked police vehicle (of course, because they were on the look out for illegal u-turners)and which they cut-off the nissan exulta from a slow chase (because no skid marks were present) came down from their vehicles wearing the standard short pants and civilian clothes, pointing rifles at them (shock & awe) also to hide behind the trees (for protection of course, because they knew there would be a "shoot-out" or "shoot at" as the case maybe and openned fired at the victims.)
2. this was the gang which had been monitored since 1998 when they were 14, 17 & 19 years old.
3. that the security guard who was shot at (afterwhich they rolled up their windows, kasi sayang the aircon, in which the bullet curved around him and looked for the knee of that poor tmg guy (who needed an excuse to explain why his buddy shot him in the excitement to finish the mission, i tell you, shabu will do that to you, acting without coordinating your thoughts, but you can't say that they were not madamot, they left some as evidence along with bullets from guns that were not inside the car, mmda plates, a gun which popped up and jumped onthe lap of the victim,this is what is called a "trained gun")
whatelse can i say...
have the pnp tell chr to drop their findings, because it will affect the image of the country's institution.
eh nagbitaw na kami ng salita, paano yung mga iba diyan na mababait, eh hindi sila kasama diyan...
hey angelo reyes, "innocent till proven otherwise" my ass! your people killed, murdered innocent boys, and you tainted their names and reputations... do you have children, grand children... will you say the same if they were in that car?
Thank you for the update. Thank you for your pursuit of justice. Your friend FX is the sacrificial lamb offered to attain worldwide awareness of the prevalent police brutality in the Philippines. In his sacrifice, you as a true friend, lighted up a candle brightly glowing green for justice. Keep it glowing. You are leading us in a procession to seek justice not only for FX but for all similar victims, giving them dignity in their deaths.
