Whistleblower to file raps vs cops linked to missing sabungeros

Whistleblower Julie “Dondon” Patidongan, also known as Totoy, is set to file a formal complaint before the National Police Commission (NAPOLCOM) on Monday against police officers allegedly involved in the disappearance of over 30 sabungeros or cockfighting enthusiasts from 2021 to 2022.

“Sa Lunes, pupunta ako ng NAPOLCOM. ‘Yung mga pulis na nabanggit ko ay kakasuhan ko na,” Patidongan said in an interview over Super Radyo dzBB on Saturday, July 12.

(On Monday, I will go to NAPOLCOM. I will file charges against the police officers I mentioned.)

His move comes after NAPOLCOM Vice Chairperson Atty. Rafael Calinisan urged him last week to submit a complaint affidavit so the agency could proceed with the administrative investigation.

According to Calinisan, NAPOLCOM already has a list of cops allegedly linked to the high-profile case, which has dragged on for years without resolution.

So far, 15 police officers have been placed under restrictive custody at Camp Crame, Quezon City, for their supposed involvement in the abduction of the sabungeros.
