HPG-Laguna personnel sacked
CAMP VICENTE LIM, Laguna, Philippines — The entire Highway Patrol Group (HPG) unit based in Laguna, including five policemen tagged in the kidnapping of a Camarines Sur businessman and the kidnap-slay of his sales agent, have been relieved from their posts.
HPG director Brig. Gen. Rommel Marbil refused to identify the dismissed HPG personnel pending the result of their parallel probe.
“We also welcome the CIDG (Criminal Investigation and Detection Group) investigation. They are the ones who will divulge the identities of the HPG personnel after they file criminal charges,” Marbil said.
Lt. Col. Ariel Huesca, CIDG-Quezon head, said five policemen and three civilians were involved in the kidnapping of Jaime Faramil Jr. and the killing of Rodrigo Duena, 33.
Faramil and sales agent Duena, who left Naga on Dec. 26 for a business transaction, failed to return to their homes.
Duena was found dead in Tayabas, Quezon on Dec. 30. Faramil remains missing.
