“We have a continuous effort to look for the remaining evidence. We saw the evidence on the CCTV, and looking at the manner of movement or the loading of luggage, [the amount stolen] is not equivalent to 42 [kilos],” he noted.Cruz also identified Capt. Jonathan Sosongco, head of the DEG-SOU 4A arresting team, as the one who appeared to be calling the shots based on the CCTV footage they reviewed.
Former DEG director Police Brig. Gen. Narciso Domingo, the highest-ranking official tagged in the case, is expected to face stiffer charges for command responsibility. According to Romualdez, the investigation into the allegations should be “swift and thorough” as it involved PNP personnel tasked with leading the government’s antidrug operations.
“I am dismayed and saddened to learn that some of those accused of alleged involvement are members of the PNP Drug Enforcement Group, the very same people tasked to go after peddlers of illegal drugs,” he lamented. “Go home and stay with your wife… Tell her all your hurts and displeasures. Cry to her,” he said in Filipino during a radio interview.
