CEBU CITY – The Philippine National Police (PNP) insisted that there were no irregularities in the police operation that led to the arrest of seven persons and the supposed rescue of 19 Lumad children from a retreat house of a university here.

PNP chief Police Gen. Debold Sinas said standard protocols were followed during the Feb. 15 police operation at the retreat house of University of San Carlos-Talamban Campus. “Social workers were present during the operation and it was supervised by the Women and Children’s Protection Desk. I don’t know what was violated. They should file a complaint and we will face it,” said Sinas.

Sinas met with some of the parents of the Lumad children Friday at the Police Regional Office-Central Visayas in this city. Charges for illegal detention and kidnapping were filed against Chad Errol Booc, Roshelle Mae Porcadilla, Benito Bay-ao, Segundo Milong, Jomar Benag, Esmelito Oribawan and Moddie Mansimuy-at.
