ANOTHER HEAD ROLLS

Atty. Rafael Vicente Calinisan, vice chairperson and executive officer of the National Police Commission (Napolcom), responds to media questions on the “preventive suspension” of Police Brigadier Gen. Romeo G. Macapaz, former chief of the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group in relation to the missing sabungeros case. Napolcom alleged that this has something to do with “mishandling of evidence.” Macapaz was responsible for the arrest of Elakim and Jose Padigongan, brothers of whistleblower Julie. The latter accused Macapaz of deleting certain information in the brothers’ mobile phones. The press briefing was held at the Napolcom head office in Quezon City.
