00:00A leaked video has put a senior highway patrol group official in hot water allegedly caught discussing how to dismiss charges against a suspect arrested with firearms and explosives.
00:12Whistleblowers say millions in bribes changed hands with arresting officers ending up facing charges themselves.
00:18The case is now with NAPOCOM, which vows a thorough review.
00:22Ryan Lasigas tells us more.
00:30Inaayos natin ang mga ***, hindi pagkakaintindihan ng ano ha, kung ano man yan nagyari diyan, ito ang team leader, mabait na bata to, sana bago mong mga adama ha.
00:44Paritiron na lang yung daring sa pwede, nakakaibig niya.
00:51Sir, wag mo lang ano, magawa niyo yung...
00:54Nadikmiss na pala yung taparan niya akin.
00:56Wala na okay.
00:57Sir, wag niyo na...
00:58Madismiss mo na.
00:59This video was taken during a drinking session with Colonel Romel Estolano and the arrested suspect JJ Javier.
01:08In the video, voices can be heard seemingly discussing how to dismiss the case against Javier.
01:14According to Police Senior Buster Sergeant Aladin Orale, Javier was arrested by Task Force Limbas of the PNPHPG on June 13 in Paranaque for using a blinker and having no license plate at the back of his vehicle.
01:27He also failed to present an ORCR.
01:30When authorities searched the vehicle, they recovered bulletproof vest, firearms, and C4 explosives.
01:36Because of this, Javier, allegedly a scammer and claiming to have connections with the first family, was charged with multiple complaints.
01:44However, Colonel Estolano allegedly objected to this and even scolded them for arresting and filing cases against Javier.
01:52Sir, pinagalitan niya ba nga ako eh, sabi nung una na, oh, sabi niya, sino bang siyong mo?
01:57Nung malaman niya na si JJ, sabi ko ikaw sir, o ba't ka nag-ooperate, hindi ko alam.
02:00Hindi sir, nagpaalam ako sa chipmobile ko, sabi ko.
02:03At that time, nang a-president, oh, sige, sige, sige, sabi niya, nagpaalam ko ko lang, sige.
02:07Asa si JJ, sir, nandun sa NBES, sabi ko, kinukuha ng apidabit.
02:14Tapos, doon na siya pumunta po doon, kinuha niya si Estolano, pinapunta niya sa loob ng opisina niya.
02:21According to Orale, the tables were even turned as the arresting officer was the one charged before the ombudsman.
02:28Among these are the cases of grave misconduct and arbitrary detention due to the alleged wrongful arrest of Javier.
02:35Because of this, Orale and for others sought help from Napolcom.
02:38Earlier, they formally filed an administrative case against Estolano for accepting a 7 million peso bribe from Javier.
02:472 million was allegedly the down payment to ensure dismissal of the case.
02:514 million to weaken the filed case under RA 105-91 and RA 95-16 and 1 million for special treatment.
02:59Ayan po si JJ Javier, yung nakaitima may eyeglass, parang wala lang.
03:04Pero arrested na namin po siya dyan.
03:06Parang wala din siya po sas, wala siyang damit na na-aristate dahil siya po sa pagtrato ni Cornel Estolano sa BIP treatment.
03:15They claimed they also reported the incident before then the PNP-HPG officer in charge, Police Brigadier General Elia Zarmata.
03:23It was investigated but allegedly stalled after a change in the HPG leadership.
03:29Napolcom ensured that the filed complaint will be thoroughly reviewed.
03:32They also said Estolano will be giving the chance to defend himself through the submission of a counter-affidavit.
03:39Yung pong kanilang complaint ay i-evaluate po ng ating inspection, monitoring and investigation service o IMIS.
03:46After which, kung meron pong kila pa mo magpugres, papasugot din po yung si Kedl Estolano, i-evaluate uli ng IMIS.
03:56Kung feeling ko nila dapat po talagang tumuli pa yung kaso, sila po maaaring mag-file ng formal charge sa ating legal affairs service.
04:03Javier is currently detained at the Quezon City Jail, while Estolano is under the personnel, holding and accounting unit.
