This was clarified by Napolcom Vice Chairperson Rico Bernabe at the Kapihan sa Manila Bay on Wednesday, days after Interior Secretary Jonvic Remulla claimed that there was a “conspiracy” to conceal crimes within the Philippine National Police (PNP).

“Based on their individual acts, wala namang (there’s nothing) showing that they had any knowledge of what was transpiring inside the WPD Lending Office or doon sa mga ibang (other) scenes where there were cover-ups.” he added.

Remulla’s comment came after the National Prosecution Service filed cases against 30 police officers for planting of evidence and delay and bungling in the prosecution of a drug case related to the confiscation of over 900 kilos of shabu (crystal meth) worth P6.7 billion.
