4 cops face admin raps
MANILA, Philippines — Administrative complaints have been filed against four police officers who were also implicated in the missing sabungeros case for allegedly kidnapping four people during anti-narcotics operations in 2021.
If proven true, the complaints will prove that some police officers tagged in the disappearance of cockfight enthusiasts were also involved in extrajudicial killings during detained former president Rodrigo Duterte’s drug war, according to the National Police Commission (Napolcom).
“This would have a huge historical impact,” Napolcom vice chairman and executive officer Rafael Vicente Calinisan said yesterday.
The families of Charles Dean Sotto, Dane Mark Carlos and siblings Jordi and Mico Mateos yesterday filed complaints with the Napolcom office in Quezon City.
Lt. Col. Ryan Jay Orapa allegedly led the officers who kidnapped the victims. The three other suspects are Maj. Mark Philip Almedilla, S/Sgt. Edmund Munoz and M/Sgt. Mark Anthony Manrique.
Sotto’s mother, Elizabeth, mentioned seven other names linked to the kidnappings.
Two confidential informants were also charged.
