The chief of police of Pasay City and 26 other police officers have been relieved from their posts amid an investigation into a Philippine Offshore Gaming Operator in the city that was raided by authorities for human trafficking and other illegal activities last month.
Philippine National Police spokesperson Col. Jean Fajardo said in a press briefing in Camp Crame on Friday that Col. Mario Mayanes would replace Uy as Pasay chief of police, while replacing Cataluña would be Maj. Christel Carlo Villanueva. If something has been happening there within your knowledge and you did nothing, then you will be charged with neglect of duty,” Fajardo said.
Authorities discovered a nine-room KTV area, a pharmacy with a physician and two patient beds, a restaurant, a hotpot “shabu-shabu” area, and nine money vaults inside its premises.During the raid, two male Chinese workers, Shui Niu, 27, and Lu Hao Yu, 22, approached members of the raiding team and said they were being kept against their will and showed torture marks on their bodies.
