Brig. Gen. Oliver Enmodias, a commander of the Integrity Monitoring and Enforcement Group (IMEG), Senior Master Sgt. Alex Asis, Staff Sgt. Raffy Reposar, and Cpl.

Quinones stated that he had been harassed by the three officers for four months. In addition to various extortion accusations, the three are accused of robbery and sexual harassment.
P6,000 in marked money, two Glock 17 9mm handguns, two magazines containing 29 rounds, and four cellular phones were seized from Asis, Reposar, and Dacillo. The three suspects have already been taken into jail by Tacloban City’s Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG)-Region 8. According to authorities, the three are also facing administrative charges.
