Top officials of the Philippine National Police (PNP) and the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) will not be spared from the National Bureau of Investigation’s (NBI) probe into the Feb. 24 “misencounter” of their operatives in Quezon City, Justice Secretary Menardo I. Guevarra said on Sunday,

“The NBI will go anywhere its investigation will lead it,” Guevarra stressed.

“We’ve seen this many times before, more recently in the case of the tapioca shipment containing shabu. That’s why the President trusts the agency,” he said. The “misencounter” between operatives of the PNP and PDEA resulted in the deaths of two policemen, one PDEA agent and one PDEA informant. “The President was calm, but the concern on his face was palpable,” Guevarra recalled his meeting with the President.
