“Wala kami dapat i-cleansing here in NBI-South Eastern Mindanao Regional Office kasi hindi naman involve ang mga investigator ko sa corruption lalo na pagdating sa drug cases,” H e said. ” Palagi ko rin sila gina-monitor at reminders on their job,”he added.
But he admitted that one investigator was discharged from the service in 2015 for protecting his brother who was involved in illegal drugs.
