11 cops face dismissal over moonlighting mess
The Philippine National Police (PNP) has recommended the dismissal of 11 police officers for allegedly covering up the illegal moonlighting activities of two Special Action Force (SAF) personnel.
The 11 officers are accused of conspiring to falsify reports to make it appear that SAF commandos Corporal George Rojo Mabuti and Patrolman Roger Ramos Valdez were on official duty.
In reality, Mabuti and Valdez were allegedly serving as unauthorized security escorts for a Chinese national connected to a Philippine offshore gaming operator.
The two SAF personnel were apprehended in Muntinlupa City last May after a physical altercation.
The PNP Internal Affairs Service (IAS) found the 11 officers guilty of grave misconduct, grave dishonesty, and conduct unbecoming of a police officer.
The group recommended for dismissal includes six police commissioned officers, one of whom is a lieutenant colonel, and five police non-commissioned officers.
Mabuti and Valdez themselves were found guilty of moonlighting, grave irregularities in their duties, and providing security services to private individuals without proper authorization.
