MANILA, Philippines — The Philippine National Police (PNP) has removed 122 police officers in the national watchlist of cops allegedly involved in the drug trade during the process of adjudication, newly-installed PNP chief Gen. Camilo Cascolan said Monday.
“For the status of adjudication of NWID (National Watchlist on Illegal Drugs), for the 357 [police officers in the] national watchlist, we have removed 122, we have retained 229 and delisted six,” Cascolan said in his first press briefing at Camp Crame as top boss of the country’s police force.
The six delisted policemen were already dead, according to Cascolan.
However, he said even those already adjudicated drug cases will continue to be evaluated by PNP investigators.
“Kahit na-adjudicate kita ngayon, we will continue to adjudicate and evaluate you and we will continue to monitor each one of you, not only those who are involved in this list but all PNP personnel in our organization,”
“Nobody knows, not even one of them knows if they were cleared or not. Nobody knows, we just told them they could go back, everybody could go back, and they can go to their areas of residences,”
The 357 alleged narco-cops were earlier ordered to be recalled by former PNP chief Gen. Archie Gamboa and were ordered to report to his office to ensure their availability for the adjudication process, based on the report.
Cascolan also said that the agency will also conduct case build-up against those who are retained in the watchlist, added that those tagged in the list will likewise be evaluated periodically.
“Adjudication is continuing. It will be evaluated periodically and we will do that not only to those who are not cleared but even to those who are not cleared but even to those who have been cleared earlier,”
