Congressmen weren't thrilled with Police Brigadier General Narciso Domingo's claim that former police master sergeant Rodolfo Mayo Jr. could walk out of jail because of the House of Representatives' investigation on the controversial Oct. 8, 2022 Manila drug bust.Congressmen took exception to the claim of Police Brigadier General Narciso Domingo that disgraced former police master sergeant Rodolfo Mayo Jr.
This instantaneously drew a reaction from Antipolo City 2nd district Rep. Romeo Acop, himself a former police brigadier general. "The observation of Cong Acop is noted. And let me reiterate that it is not this committee if and ever cases will be dismissed against perosnalities involved in this [confiscation of] 990 kilo of 'shabu'. It is not this committee [that] was instrumental in the dismissal of such case," Barbers said.
Responding to Acop and Barbers, Domingo said: "I am sorry your honors but my point is sergeant Mayo may use this proceeding in his defense in court and the court may subpoena this proceedings to prove that the timeline of events submitted to the court is different."
