REPORT ON INVESTIGATED KILLINGS IN RELATION TO THE ANTI-ILLEGAL DRUG CAMPAIGN CHR IX 2019-0592 This case pertains to an alleged illegal drug buy-bust operation against father-and-son drug personalities conducted on 12 August 2016 at around 1:45 in the morning in Zamboanga del Norte. According to the police, Victims A and B met the undercover police officer who acted as poseur buyer with the confidential informant to purchase shabu. However, Victim A allegedly figured out that it was a buy-bust operation. He then shouted at Victim B “Mga pulis!” (Police!) and the two victims immediately drew their respective handguns and fired towards the police officers, continually shooting while on the move. However, a kin of herein victims offered a contrary narrative. According to the daughter of Victim B, around the same date and time, she and her parents were awakened when somebody kicked the door of their house. Thereafter, she saw some people barge inside whom she later recognized as police officers. The policemen then pulled Victim B out of their house. By that time, she only heard screams from Victim B. Moments later, she heard gun shots and was not able to hear the victim’s voice anymore. CHR VIII 2016-0414 This case speaks about the supposed service of Search Warrants for the violations of RA No. 10591 and RA No. 9165 of inmates on 04 November 2016 at around 4:10 in the morning at Baybay Sub-Provincial Jail, Bgy. Hispungo, Leyte. According to the account of the police operatives, during said implementation, Victims A of cell no. 1, and Victim B of cell no. 7 fired upon the raiding team, which prompted them to fire back to defend themselves. It then resulted in the instantaneous death of both victims. However, according to one co-inmate of Victim A from cell no. 2, two male persons went directly to cell no. 1. He heard then Victim A said, “Magandang umaga, Sir. Wag ninyo ako lagyan, Sir. Kahit patalim wala ako, maawa kayo.” (Good morning, Sir. Don’t put something on me. I don’t even have a knife. Have mercy on me.) Next, the co-inmate heard him again, “Maihi muna ako, Sir.” (I want to pee, Sir.) and overheard someone answered,“Ayaw na pag-ihi” (No need to pee.) Thereafter, two gun bursts were heard and a voice saying, “Oh lumaban pa” (Oh he fought back), followed by another three gun bursts. Strangely, prior to the gun bursts, he alleged that he saw a police officer standing between cell no. 2 and cell no. 3, but not directly in front of him. Said police officer had thumbed down as if signaling the police officers in the subject cells. Also, contrary to police accounts, a co-inmate of Victim B in cell no. 7 alleged that his other co-inmates in the same cell were ordered to go to the Quarantinas, the small vacant room between cell No. 5 and 6. Victim B and his co-inmate were however left behind, and forced to face the wall. Both were asked of their names and their respective cases, to which Victim B answered “drugs.” Thereafter, the co-inmate was ordered to transfer to the Quarantinas as well, while Victim B was ordered to go back inside cell no. 7. Upon sitting and forced to look down, gunfire ensued. His co-inmate heard around five gunshots at that time. It is noteworthy though that the police operatives still read the contents of the subject search warrants near the dead bodies of the victims and proceeded to search inside their respective cells—all gleaned in the official statement of then incumbent barangay official asked to witness the implementation of the supposed law enforcement operation. 22
