Bacolod City Police Office director, Senior Supt. Ronilo Quebrar, yesterday said that the two Police Station 2 officers transferred to the BCPO City Mobile Group will have to stay with their new assignments for now, while the investigation on the allegations against them are still ongoing.

Quebrar said that SPO2 Carlos Sombria and PO1 Felixberto Arsenal will still be detailed at the BCPO-CMG so their activities could be "closely supervised" although nobody has filed a formal complaint against them on the allegations that they are acting as illegal drugs and gambling "protectors."

Quebrar relieved the two from their posts at Police Station 2 on July 27 as the BCPO Intelligence and Investigation Branch started its inquiry on reports that they are protecting illegal activities in Purok Sigay, Brgy. 2, in Bacolod.

Police Station 2 commander Rie Gumban has maintained that the accusations against Sombria and Arsenal are not true, adding that the reports may have just been fabricated by those who were affected by their operations against prohibited drugs and gambling in Purok Sigay.*PP
