DAVAO CITY – The Philippine National Police has warned rogue cops, especially those involved in heinous crimes, to surrender peacefully or face the consequences of their criminal acts.
Brig. Gen. Warren De Leon, chief of the Philippine National Police - Integrity Monitoring and Enforcement Group (IMEG), has ordered an intensified campaign against erring policemen.
“We are continuously conducting our internal cleansing efforts with a stronger emphasis on ensuring the standard of discipline and conduct is observed. This campaign has long been sought and just like what our Chief, PNP said, na hindi tayo magsasawa na bantayan ang hanay ng kapulisan,” De Leon said.
His warning came following the recent arrest of a cop, Cpl. Derick Tanduyan, who was implicated in the murder of Pat. Hariz Jhub Adayo in May last year.
De Leon said the 31-year old Tanduyan - assigned with the Magsaysay Municipal Police Station in Davao del Sur province - was arrested by IMEG members inside the Police Regional Office 11 headquarters in Davao City following the issuance of arrest warrant by Judge Marivic Daray, of the Regional Trial Court, Branch 18, in Digos City.
“This warrant was in relation to the killing of Patrolman Hariz Jhun Adayo in May 2022, who was shot dead by a motorcycle riding suspect. As a result of the investigation conducted by the Special Investigation Task Group Adayo, it was later identified that one of the perpetrators was PCpl Tanduyan as averred by several witnesses,” De Leon said.
