PNP chief orders probe into unauthorized raid in Taguig

Philippine National Police (PNP) Chief Gen. Rommel Francisco Marbil on Friday ordered a thorough investigation into an incident where police officers entered a house without a search warrant in Taguig City.

Marbil emphasized the PNP's commitment to upholding discipline and professionalism, warning of administrative sanctions including dismissal or suspension for those found guilty of violating operational procedures.

A viral video showed officers entering a woman's home and allegedly assaulting her 14-year-old son while seizing his mobile phone during an unauthorized raid in 'Block 5'.

Following the incident, the National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) relieved the involved personnel and their supervisor to ensure an unbiased inquiry.

Complaints of robbery, grave coercion, physical injury, obstruction of justice, malicious mischief, and violations of RA 7610 were filed against ten officers with the Taguig City Prosecutor's Office.

The Department of Justice will review these complaints to determine if there is sufficient evidence for possible conviction in each case.

Marbil also directed all police units to strictly comply with operational procedures and ethical standards, reaffirming the PNP's commitment to transparency and public trust.
