According to Santos, it was his 55th birthday on October 8, 2022. He had been celebrating with friends when PNP chief Rodolfo Azurin Jr. called around 2:30 p.m. and ordered him to proceed to a crime scene with a drug haul of 600 kilos. He arrived at the scene at around 6:20 p.m.
“Nasan ito? Hulihin niyo ito, file-an niyo ng kaso, inquest niyo ito,” Santos recalled telling officers at the scene.The CCTV footage indeed showed Santos and his vehicle at the scene. During the press briefing, it was pointed out that the CCTV footage showed Mayo was right next to Santos’ car at the time. Santos also appeared surprised when this was brought up.Santos said that he was not informed of Mayo’s presence at the scene, and insisted that he did not see the dismissed officer.
When asked if he would take a leave of absence following Abalos’ orders, Santos said he was confused, as he was already relieved of his post in February 2023 after a reshuffling of the PNP.10 cops probed for drug ‘cover-up’ told to go on leave“The reason why they are being asked [to leave] is para di makapag-impluensiya.
