Baguio City Mayor Benjamin Magalong said he personally investigated the P6.7 billion drug haul in Manila last year and found no evidence that the PNP leadership tried to spare the cops who confiscated almost a ton of shabu. | ManilaBulletin
Magalong’s statement disputed the allegation of Interior and Local Government Secretary Benhur Abalos who earlier presented a CCTV footage purportedly showing that at least two generals and other personnel of the PNP Drug Enforcement Group tried to save Police Master Sgt. Rodolfo Mayo, Jr.
Domingo was the head of the PNP Drug Enforcement Group when the operation that led to the arrest of Mayo and confiscation of 990 kilos of shabu was carried out. Santos, on the other hand, was then the deputy chief for Operations of the PNP. Azurin earlier attested to the integrity of Domingo, saying he tapped the latter to head the PDEG since he knew to him be an untainted officer back when they were still at the Directorate for Personnel Records and Management.
Azurin knew of the decision to use Mayo to seize more drugs but later ordered to secure the latter instead over fear of being killed, explaining that Mayo holds the key of identifying his backers. The assessment he made based on the situation and his discussion with Azurin, according to Magalong, made him believe, and be convinced, that there was no cover-up on the side of Domingo and the Chief PNP.
