MAJ. GEN. Guillermo Eleazar, National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) regional director, on Wednesday confronted a police officer who was arrested for an alleged robbery extortion incident.
Eleazar shouted, grabbed, and dropped some expletives against Corporal Marlo Quibete at about 1 a.m. at the Marikina City Police Station.
Quibete, who was assigned to the District Drug Enforcement Units (DDEU) at the Eastern Police District, was arrested in an entrapment operation in front of a fast food restaurant at Barangay Santolan, Pasig City at 10:30 p.m. on March 5.
The operation stemmed from a complaint by a certain Eva Cabansag who claimed that Quibete extorted money from her in exchange for dropping her case in connection with the arrest of her live-in partner.
Cabansag’s live-in partner was previously arrested in Marikina City on March 4 for alleged involvement in drug activities.
The DDEU also allegedly took P60,000 and a necklace from Cabansag after the arrest of her live-in partner and forced her to sign a deed of sale for the motorcycle that was recovered from them.
Cabansag met with Quibete in the entrapment operation and handed the P20,000 marked money to him, resulting in his arrest.
Quibete was speechless when Eleazar asked if the allegations against him were true.
He, however, admitted the necklace and motorcycle that Cabansag was talking about were currently in his office.
Quibete is currently under the custody of NCRPO-Regional Special Operations Unit for proper documentation.
Eleazar also ordered the relief of all EPD-DDEU members, including their chief Police Major Allan Miparanum, for alleged involvement in the robbery extortion case. ROY NARRA
