In recent years, the
NCMF–NCR Regional Office has steadily elevated its service to the Muslim communities across Metro Manila. These accomplishments were made possible through the steadfast partnership of various government agencies, non-government organizations, private sector partners, and dedicated volunteers.

6 Pulis sa Cotabato Inalis sa Pwesto Matapos Umalingasaw ang Umano’y Pagbugbog sa PDEA Agent na Inaresto sa Sextortion
December, 2. 2025

Cotabato City — Iniimbestigahan ngayon ang anim na pulis ng Police Station 2 matapos umano nilang bugbugin ang isang PDEA agent na naaresto sa isang entrapment operation kaugnay ng sextortion.

Kinumpirma ng CCPO na lehitimo ang operasyon ng RACU-BAR, ngunit agad nilang inalis sa puwesto ang anim na pulis matapos lumabas ang alegasyon ng pananakit — indikasyong may nakita silang posibleng pag-abuso.

Ang mga pulis ay kasalukuyang nasa City Holding and Accounting Unit, habang ang kanilang mga baril ay naka-impound. Ayon kay PLt. Rochelle Evangelista, may pahintulot ang pulis na gumamit ng “reasonable force,” pero hindi saklaw ang pananakit sa suspek na nasa kustodiya na.

Nagsampa ng patong-patong na kaso ang PDEA agent laban sa mga operatiba, kasabay ng pag-usbong ng tanong kung may nilabag na Anti-Torture Act of 2009, na nagpapataw ng mabigat na parusa — kabilang ang habambuhay na pagkakakulong — sa kahit sinong state agent na mang-abuso.

Habang patuloy ang imbestigasyon, nananatiling nakatutok ang publiko sa mas malaking isyu:
Isolated incident ba ito, o isa na namang patunay ng kultura ng abuso sa ilang hanay ng pulisya?
