Story: PNP challenge Faeldon to come out

The Philippine National Police (PNP) cannot also confirm if the one that were interviewed over ANC last night was Marine Capt. Nicanor Faeldon. But, Sr. Supt. Nicanor Bartolome, Chief of Public Information Office (PNP-PIO) said they are really expecting him to come-out in media long time ago.

“I cannot say if he was the one being interviewed but if it is really him, I challenged him to come-out and defend himself and prove to us that the report on our investigation did not really happen,” Bartolome said.

Bartolome said, they are really expecting Faeldon to make comments or statements long ago after the November 29 Manila Peninsula Siege but the latter did it late.

“We were expecting it because we know he will try to mislead the public on the investigations, and he will say that he did not do anything wrong,” Bartolome added.

With regards to the reporter involved in the escape of Faeldon during the Manila pen Siege Bartolome did not yet identified the said reporter. “Investigation still on going, and they are (investigators) considering proper timing to identify the reporter,” Bartlome said.

Bartolome also said that there are no plans yet to invite or questioned Ces Drilon, senior reporter of ANC a subsidiary of ABS-CBN, who interviewed Faeldon Tuesday night.
