MANILA, Philippines – The Philippine National Police-Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (PNP-CIDG) has 24 hours to supply missing information, particularly the addresses of all named in the sedition case related to the “Ang Totoong Narcolist” series of videos.

“The Panel noted that the complaint filed before it does not state respondents’ complete addresses. The missing information has made it difficult for the Panel to cause service of the subpoena to respondents,” Justice Undersecretary and Department of Justice (DOJ) Spokesperson Markk Perete said Wednesday.

Aside from Vice President Leni Robredo, named in the complaint are members of the “Otso-Diretso” senatorial slate except for former senator Mar Roxas, church leaders, human rights lawyers and other personalities.

Perete said the order was personally served on the PNP-CIDG on Wednesday afternoon.

The PNP-CIDG based its complaint on the affidavit of Peter Joemel Advincula alias “Bikoy,” the self-proclaimed narrator of the video series implicating the family and close allies of President Rodrigo Duterte in the illegal drug trade.

The letter-complaint by the police was a three-page letter and attached to it is Advincula’s affidavit and indicated that other evidence “will be presented later.”/ac
