Bunagan was apprehended by the PNP Integrity Monitoring and Enforcement Group in an entrapment operation after extorting P100,000 from a police applicant. The funds are intended to ensure that the candidate can join the PNP and become a full-fledged cop.
“I am personally focusing on cases of corrupt police because I am serious about the promise I made to clean up and implement organizational reform,” Eleazar stressed.
Bunagan is now facing allegations of breaking Republic Act 11032, also known as the Ease of Doing Business and Efficient Government Service Act of 2018, as well as Republic Act 3019, also known as the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act. The PNP leader guaranteed that corrupt cops would be removed from the force.
