He also confirmed that the police confiscated the phones and weapons of the narcotics agents for further investigation. Images posted on social media later showed the police officers rounding up the drug enforcement agents. The police promised to investigate the case. “The PNP and PDEA both agree and assure the public that the incident, while serious, will in no way affect the continuing operational relationship and coordination they have long firmed up in the fight against illegal drugs,” the police statement added. A parallel investigation by the National Bureau of Investigation will also be conducted, according to Justice Secretary Menardo Guevarra.
