MANILA, Philippines – Robbery and child abuse complaints have been filed against 15 relieved Caloocan cops and two unidentified men who allegedly used a minor in an unauthorized raid on a house.
Homeowner Gina Erobas was accompanied by the Public Attorney’s Office in filing robbery, child abuse, trespassing, and violation of domicile against the following:
- Chief Inspector Timothy Aniway Jr.
- Senior Inspector Warren Peralta
- Police Officer (PO) 1 Sherwin Rivera
- PO1 Louie Serrano
- PO1 Marvin Poblete
- PO1 Jay Gabanata
- PO1 Jaime Natividad
- PO1 Jaybee Tulay
- PO1 Ariel Furio
- PO1 Rohelio Julaton
- PO1 Joel Leaban
- PO1 Rene Llanto
- PO1 Michael Miguel
- PO1 Francis Ruiz Quidic
- PO1 Jay-R Sabangan
A CCTV footage of the residence suggested that the police officer used a minor in the robbery.
Justice Secretary Vitaliano Aguirre II earlier ordered the Department of Justice Task Force on Child Protection to probe the said raid, adding that: “Such an act is an affront to the dignity of the child as a person. It cannot be tolerated and should be sanctioned to the full extent of our laws.”
Director Oscar Albayalde, National Capital Region Police Office chief, on September 15 sacked the entire Caloocan police force, a day after Erobas’ house was raided.
Last August, the Caloocan Police station received a citation as the Best City Police station.
Other members of the Caloocan police are also facing murder, torture complaints for the killing of 17-year-old Kian Delos Santos, 19-year-old Carl Arnaiz and 14-year-old Reynaldo “Kulot” De Guzman.
