The National Police Commission (NAPOLCOM) is urging whistleblower Julie "Dondon" Patidongan, also known as alias Totoy, to file a complaint affidavit with the agency regarding his claims of police involvement in the disappearance of cockfight enthusiasts, or sabungeros.
NAPOLCOM Vice Chairperson Atty. Rafael Calinisan stated that filing the affidavit with NAPOLCOM would expedite the process compared to other avenues.
Calinisan confirmed that NAPOLCOM is aware of the investigation's direction and is specifically targeting certain police officers.
The names of the involved police officers are known to NAPOLCOM, though they cannot be disclosed yet.
Calinisan has directed the Inspection, Monitoring, and Investigation Service (IMIS) to conduct a motu proprio investigation into the alleged involvement of several police officers.
The police officers linked to the case will be summoned to face an administrative probe.
Calinisan emphasized NAPOLCOM's responsibility to investigate as the "police of the police" and assured that they are proceeding with caution.
