On orders of President Duterte, the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) directed the Philippine National Police (PNP) to run after the Magpali gun-for-hire group reportedly led by a dismissed police officer.
In a radio interview with Erwin Tulfo on Friday, July 23, DILG Undersecretary for External and Legislative Affairs Ricojudge Janvier M. Echiverri confirmed the President’s order for the arrest of the mastermind of the Magpali group which is allegedly composed of rogue policemen and soldiers.
“Yes, we confirm that. Secretary Eduardo Año is aware of it. He has given the same instructions to the PNP to act,” Echiverri said.
