2 Naga cops relieved
TWO Naga City police officers who were allegedly caught in an intimate embrace in the police station last April 4 have been relieved from their posts and reassigned pending investigation.
PO3 Romeo Bolaño, who is married, and PO2 Maricor Aliganga, who is single, both denied the allegation.
Insp. Julius Ompad, chief of Provincial Investigation and Detection Management Branch, said a certain Mary Ann Lapiz wrote the Cebu Provincial Police Office describing how she went to the police station to follow up a rape case involving her niece and saw the policewoman sitting on a computer table.
The witness said Bolaño appeared from behind and hugged the policewoman. Lapiz said she later saw both leave on board a car driven by Bolaño.
The police are locating the letter sender to verify her account. CORRESPONDENT GABRIEL C. BONJOC
