Story 1: Evidences against Dagupan Chief of Police on shabu laboratory coming out, says PNP Chief

Philippine National Police Chief Avelino Razon said that there are enough evidences coming out against the Chief of Police of Dagupan, City that would link him as one of the protectors of the shabu laboratory.

Razon has tasked the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) to investigate the alleged involvement of Sr. Supt. Dionisio Borromeo in protecting the shabu laboratory that was raided by the authority in Naguillan, La Union last July 9. But he refused to give any kind of evidences because the investigation is still on going only that there were five witnesses already that implicating the name of Borromeo.

Dante Palaganas, one of the arrested caretakers of the shabu laboratory said he is an asset of Borromeo, but it is not clear on what way he was an asset—this is what the CIDG is investigating.

Razon also ordered the CIDG together with the intelligence division to dig deeper on the investigation.

“I have ordered them to dig deeper into possible involvements of other PNP personnel in region 1 because I believe that Sr. Supt. Borromeo will not be able to carry out the operations or whatever involvement he has on this shabu laboratory by himself,” Razon said.

So far he also said that there are no other names of high-ranking officials that are surfacing right now, but they are investigating those who are subordinate to Borromeo whether in dagupan or in other provinces of Region 1.
