TEN police officers have been sacked for administrative offenses during their tour of duty, said the National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO).
NCRPO Chief Joseph Melencio Nartatez Jr. issued the dismissal order of the 10 police officers — all assigned to the NCRPO headquarters in Bagong Diwa, Taguig City.
Three are middle-grade police officers, a ranking officer, four sergeants and a corporal.
Based on General Orders 2024-2441 the dismissed policemen were Lt.Col. Jolet Tutor Guevara, Majors Jason Domingo Quijana, John Patrick Oxales Magsalos, and Capt. Sherwin Clete Limbauan.
Also ordered axed were Executive Master Sergeant Arsenio Kayoyog Valle, Staff Sergeants Mark Jinon Democrito, Danilo Lasona Desder Jr., Roy Galang Pioquinto and Christian Cureg Corpus and Corporal Rexes Ursolum Claveria.
Nartatez said the offenses committed ranged from grave misconduct, grave irregularity in the performance of duty to grave neglect of duty.
Reports said the sacking of the 10 policemen was linked to the illegal arrest of Chinese citizens in Paranaque in September last year.
A total of 985 police officers have been dismissed under President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s administration.
