There were missing items upon family’s inspection of the place of incident.58 Exemplifying the conduct of these police operatives is the incident59 that transpired in Lucena City, Quezon. Police maintain that the incident was an officially recorded buybust operation; however, the victim was seen at that time on his way to the main road to throw garbage when armed men approached him. Allegedly, a bystander saw the incident and a CCTV footage captured the faces of the alleged police officers. However, the armed men forcefully erased the video recording. e. Allegations of planting of evidence Police accounts most often state that illegal drugs and firearms were recovered in the possession of the victims. These are shabu usually packed in small sachets, and revolvers or pistols with either .38/.22/.45 calibers with or without serial numbers, and/or hand grenades, among others. However, in at least 12 incidents, inconsistent reports were observed: i. Witnesses saw victims initially being dealt with by the operatives, and later saw pieces of evidence not present during the incident60; 54 CHR III 2017-0271, CHR IX 2019-0592, CHR VIII 2016-0402, CHR VIII 2016-0405, CHR VIII 2017-0163, CHR VIII 2017-0165, CHR VIII 2016-0338, CHR XI 2019-0259, CHR IX 2016-0607, CHR IV-A 2016-0240, CHR IV-A 2017-0345, CHR IV-A 2018-0217, CHR IV-A 2018-0321, CHR IV-A 2018-0565, CHR IV-A 2018-0676/2018-0677, CHR IV-A 2018-0837, CHR IV-A 2019-0284, CHR IV-A 2019-0358, CHR IV-A 2019-0538, CHR IV-A 2019-0545, CHR IV-A 2019-0620, CHR IV-A 2019-0775/2019-0776, CHR IV-A 2019-0969, CHR III 20190003, CHR III 2018-0131, CHR VI 2016-0178, CHR II 2016-0246, CHR X 2019-0056. 55 CHR XI 2016-0201, CHR CAR 2016-0111/2017-0022, CHR VIII 2017-0164, CHR VIII 2016-0291, CHR IX 2016-0615, CHR IV-A 2017-0405, CHR IV-A 2018-0113, CHR IV-A 2018-0220, CHR IV-A 2018-0314, CHR IV-A 2018-0569, CHR IV-A 2018-0603, CHR IV-A 2018-0657, CHR IV-A 2018-0909, CHR IV-A 2019-0189, CHR IV-A 2019-0316, CHR IV-A 2019-0335, CHR IV-A 2019-0453, CHR IV-A 20190681, CHR IV-A 2019-0790/2019-0791, CHR IV-A 2019-0960, CHR IV-A 2018-0346/2021-0762, CHR VI 2017-0134. 56 CHR IV-A 2016-0373. 57 CHR XI 2016-0210, CHR IV-A 2019-0250, CHR IV-A 2019-0404, CHR IV-A 2019-0679, CHR IV-A 2020-0473, CHR VIII 2016-0414. 58 CHR CAR 2016-0117, CHR IV-A 2017-0237/2017-0238/2017-0239. 59 CHR IV-A 2016-0267. 60 CHR IV-A 2018-0220. 18
