Macapaz yet to receive suspension order; PNP to honor Napolcom decision
The National Police Commission (Napolcom) ordered the preventive suspension of former PNP CIDG Director Brig. Gen. Romeo Macapaz for up to 90 days.
The suspension stems from allegations of tampering with the investigation into the abduction of at least 34 cockfighting enthusiasts.
Elakim Patidongan, brother of whistleblower Julie Patidongan, filed the complaint against Macapaz on August 14.
Napolcom cited the need to prevent a miscarriage of justice due to Macapaz's high position and influence, finding preliminary evidence of serious charges.
As of Friday, August 29, 2025, Brig. Gen. Macapaz has not officially received the suspension order, according to the Philippine National Police (PNP).
However, the PNP stated they will honor and serve any decision made by Napolcom regarding Macapaz.
