As PNP shuffles, CIDG-NCR chief denies sacking

In a statement, Police Col. Hansel Marantan said that contrary to reports, he voluntarily offered to be relieved of his position to dispel any doubts or insinuations that he might influence the investigation into his officers.

Earlier reports said Marantan was relieved from his post due to a “questionable” raid conducted by CIDG-NCR in Manila.The CIDG-NCR operatives allegedly extorted money from a group of Chinese nationals who were arrested in Paranaque.“In fairness to Col. Hansel Marantan, I just received a courtesy resignation from him, being the regional chief of the NCR field unit.

Meanwhile, 11 new police officials have been named to new posts after the Philippine National Police gave its go-signal to the latest reshuffling of personnel. Also relocated to new posts were Brig. Gen. Joel Doria who was designated as PRO-Mimaropa chief. He replaced Brig. Gen. Sidney Hernia who was moved to the Anti-Cybercrime Group.

Also on Friday, Surigao del Norte Rep. Robert Ace Barbers alleged that “ninja-cops” and their “ninja-informants” have been declaring just 30 percent of their drug seizures.In a television interview, Barbers said he was informed by some senior officials from the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency and the PNP Drug Enforcement Group about the practice by rogue anti-drug agents to keep 70 percent of every drug haul as “savings” and later recycle them into the streets to make money.

At a hearing conducted by the House committee on dangerous drugs chaired by Barbers, a long-time police informant said the recycling of drugs has been happening for the last 20 years, when he started working as an anti-drug “asset.”
