Twelve police officers have been placed on preventive suspension for up to 90 days to prevent them from influencing witnesses in the “missing sabungeros” case, where they are accused of involvement in the disappearance of cockfighting enthusiasts and taking bribes from the mastermind behind it.

National Police Commission (Napolcom) Vice Chairman Rafael Vicente Calinisan said the suspensions are part of the formal investigation process and should not be interpreted as penalty or punishment.

“This is a tool by the NAPOLCOM to ensure the safety of witnesses and the integrity of the investigation,” Calinisan told reporters at a press conference Monday, August 4.

The suspended officers are:

Police Lieutenant Colonel Ryan Eliab Orapa

Police Major Mark Philip Cimborio Almedilla

PEMS Aaron Ezra Lagajit Cabilian

Police Chief Master Sergeant Arturo De La Cruz

Police Senior Master Sergeant Joey Natanawan Incarnacion

Police Senior Master Sergeant Mark Anthony Aguilo Manrique

Police Senior Master Sergeant Anderson Ozorco Abari

Police Staff Sergeant Alfredo Uy Andes

Police Staff Sergeant Edmond Hernandez Muñoz

Police Corporal Angel Joseph Ferro Martin

Police Staff Sergeant Renan Lagrosa Fulgencio
