ZAMBOANGA CITY – Two local policemen with alleged links to illegal drug trade were killed Saturday in a firefight with members of the Philippine National Police (PNP) Counter-Intelligence Task Force (CITF) in Zamboanga City.
Task force agents were trying to arrest the duo, PO3 Ronald Bernardo and PO2 Maria Oliver Olaso, in the village of Ayala when the policemen reportedly engaged the arresting team, backed by police commandos.
This was also confirmed by the local police director, Senior Superintendent Alan Nazarro, according to media reports.
Police did not release details of the operation against Bernardo and Olaso, but their names were allegedly included in the task force watch list.
The operation coincided with President Rodrigo Duterte’s order to kill policemen involved in illegal drugs and offered P5 million rewards for each rogue cop killed.
The families of the slain policemen did not release any statement on the accusations against Bernardo and Olaso. (Mindanao Examiner)
