One of the police officers involved in the death of the innocent teenager was ordered dismissed in 2020 for grave misconduct and serious irregularity in performing his duty.
Baltazar, mistaken for a suspect, was shot dead on August 2, after jumping off a boat in Barangay NBBS Kaunlaran.
The two ground commanders who served as leaders of the six cops are facing an administrative case before the Internal Affairs Service of the Northern Police District. Asked why Maliban was not removed from his position given the previous dismissal order, National Police Commission Vice Chairperson and Executive Officer Alberto Bernardo said there is a motion for reconsideration filed by Maliban.
Napolcom’s legal service admitted that they missed Maliban’s papers due to the COVID-19 pandemic, according to Bernardo.
