Saw this last week... turns out this was abduction/extortions by the COPS! Mismo pulis mga criminal. It's more fun in the philippines.
Eight Quezon City policemen were sacked on Monday for their alleged involvement in the robbery and abduction incident on the southbound lane of Edsa in Mandaluyong City that was photographed by a lone motorist.
The victims told the police that they were forced by the group to withdraw from their bank accounts a total of P119,000 aside from the P2 million cash the suspects took from them then locked them up for seven hours at La Loma Police Station.
Disguised as an anti-illegal drugs operation, Villacorta said De Vera initially claimed that it was a legitimate police operation, saying he and his men were part of the Special Anti-Illegal Drugs task force. But De Vera later retracted this on Sunday as Villacorta and NCRPO chief Director General Carmelo Valmoria interrogated him and presented pieces of evidence the police gathered.
Despite the policemen’s involvement in the crime, the NCRPO chief asked the public not to judge the 148,000-strong PNP force.
“Syempre masakit din sa amin but we will make sure that we will get rid of these scalawags. Nobody is above the law,” Valmoria stressed
