00:00 Two members of the PNP SAF were arrested in Muntinlupa City after a scandal.
00:08 The seven others were suspended and they are under direct supervision.
00:13 Vell Custodio was surprised.
00:15 It started with a simple conspiracy, but it reached a peak and a scandal.
00:22 It happened inside a private subdivision in Muntinlupa.
00:26 The two men were members of the PNP SAF.
00:31 From the statement of our witnesses and the first responders there,
00:37 they just found out that there was an altercation on the road.
00:43 That's what bothered and caused the disturbance in that subdivision.
00:49 The alarm and scandal was the only thing that would bring the two cases together.
00:52 But it added to the administrative cases.
00:55 We're investigating why the two SAFs went to Metro Manila.
01:00 They are both assigned in Mindanao. They are authorized.
01:04 What they're doing in Metro Manila, I think they're giving escort services, VIP escort services.
01:10 But we don't want to say who they're giving escort services to.
01:16 But one thing for sure, there is a violation of our Rule 21, Section 1, 6, Paragraph of NMC 21
01:24 or grave irregularity in the performance of duty.
01:26 Aside from the last SAF, they will also be punished under the PITUPANG Act with direct supervision.
01:32 After this, we will make sure that you will see that there will be suspended battalion commanders
01:39 and there will be police involved in the service, especially here in the SAF.
01:45 We will not hide that.
01:48 Aside from the two police, the company commander and platoon leaders are also suspended in the service.
01:54 This is in accordance with the SAF's Zero Tolerance Policy for illegal or unlawful activities of their people.
02:00 The two SAFs are now in custody of the Muntinglupa City Police Station.
