2 dismissed cops allege they were framed during Duterte drug war
Two former police officers, Marco Almario and Sonny Reyes, claim they were framed with planted evidence during the Duterte administration's war on drugs, leading to their dismissal.
Almario testified that he was arrested in October 2016 by his chief of police, who allegedly planted illegal drugs and a gun on him in a prison cell.
Reyes was arrested in 2017 after seeking police assistance against a neighbor impersonating a police officer.
Both officers stated their criminal cases have since been dismissed, though they are still administratively dismissed from their posts.
They are appealing their administrative dismissals and seek recourse from the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG).
