Bunagan’s accomplices are now being identified so that they can all go to prison together. Bunagan is being held in the IMEG detention center in Camp Crame on allegations of breaching Republic Act 11032.

Bunagan allegedly claimed that for a cost of P100,000.00, applicants with health difficulties would pass the medical examination. Earlier, authorities in Taguig City apprehended accused police recruiting fixer who charges a fee in exchange for assisting police applicants.

Evelyn Aleman alias “Eva Fonda,” 35, a Public Safety Savings and Loan Association Inc. (PSSLAI) agent and a resident of Bicutan, Taguig City, has been identified as the suspect, according to Eleazar. During the Comprehensive Online Recruitment Encrypting System (CORES), a “nameless and faceless” police recruitment process, the suspect was seized.

The perpetrator was apprehended after collecting PHP50,000 marked money from a poseur applicant in an entrapment operation near Gen. Santos Avenue in Barangay Upper Bicutan. Through her Facebook account, the suspect allegedly offered a passing rate for the neuropsychiatric exam to PNP Recruitment Applicants in exchange for money.
