PNPA chief sacked over sex scandal
Officer in Charge Eduardo Año of the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) on Wednesday sacked the director of the Philippine National Police Academy (PNPA) over allegations that upperclassmen had forced their underclassmen to perform oral sex on them.
Año ordered the removal of Chief Supt. Joseph Adnol for command responsibility and to allow an impartial investigation, DILG spokesman Jonathan Malaya said in a statement.
He also directed Philippine Public Safety College (PPSC) President Ricardo de Leon to conduct an investigation on the issue and carry out measures to ensure that similar incidents don’t happen again.
“We should not tolerate such scandalous acts in our ranks The PPSC should act with dispatch to ensure that the true ideals, values and discipline in the academy will continuously be upheld,” Año said.
Adnol offered to resign from his position in the PNPA after a mauling incident that happened right after the academy’s graduation rites on March 21.
Based on initial reports, an upperclassman ordered two male plebes to perform oral sex as punishment for allegedly committing violations last October 6 behind the barracks. Two other upperclassmen were reported to have watched the acts.
The upperclassmen involved in the incident were placed in isolation.
The victims are preparing to file a criminal case against the senior cadets. The PNPA has also filed an administrative case against the same cadets.
