Adriano Junio, and Senior Police Officer (SPO) 2 Romy Navarro and SPO2 Rolando Clarin are among the aviation cops who were relieved from their posts. Eight other Avsegroup cops stationed at the Terminal 3 of NAIA were also dismissed and will be put under investigation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a command decision in support of the ongoing investigation to determine the truth behind this,\u201d Avsegroup spokesman Vicenter Castor was quoted as saying in a Standard report.<\/p>\n<p>Clarin, Junio and Navarro were the cops Lane Michael White identified as the ones who tried to extort him of P30,000 to avoid arrest. White is the 20-year-old American missionary arrested at the NAIA for possessing a bullet in his luggage. He claimed in a Senate probe that he was a victim of the alleged bullet planting scam at the NAIA.<\/p>\n<p>The Avsegroup cops who were relieved will be temporarily transferred to Avsegroup&#8217;s main headquarters while a Department of Justice investigation is pending.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, Avsegroup-Metro Manila chief Supt. Ricardo Layug Jr. was replaced by Senior Supt. Adolfo Samala, former commander of the Las Pi\u00f1as Police.<\/p>\n<p>Chief. Supt. Pablo Francis Balagtas, director of Avsegroup said that Layug&#8217;s replacement was simply part of Philippine National Police&#8217;s &#8220;rotation process&#8221;. \u00a0He pointed out that Layug&#8217;s replacement does not necessarily indicate involvement in the alleged bullet planting scam at the NAIA.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Eleven members of the National Police-Aviation Security Group (Avsegroup) stationed at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) in Manila have &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":33,"featured_media":21156,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1145,16,95],"tags":[249],"class_list":["post-65057","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headline","category-news","category-news-ph","tag-rewrite","mauthors-katherine-padilla","mauthors-philippine-canadian-inquirer"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65057","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/33"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=65057"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65057\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/21156"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=65057"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=65057"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=65057"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
