Man arrested for sexual abuse of minor niece —NBI
Agent-in-charge Atty. Czar Eric Niqui said the subject had been sexually abusing the victim since she was 7 years old. The victim is now 14 years old.
'Meron pong instances kasi na nag-umpisa ito nung namatay 'yung tatay nung ating complainant and it so happened na 'yung ating subject ay naatasang mag-alaga sa mga bata na anak nitong complainant,' he said in a media briefing.
(There were instances because this started when the father of our complainant died, and it so happened that our subject was assigned to take care of the children of this complainant.)
'At doon sa pagkakataon na iyon ay kanyang inumpisahang gahasain at gawan ng mali at malaswa itong bata,' he added.
(At that point, he started sexually abusing and doing bad things to this child.)
He said the man would threaten the victim that he would kill their family if she told anyone what was happening.
However, the victim opened up to her mother about what was being done to her when the mother told the victim that she will be brought to her grandmother.
'This prompted the victim na sumigaw at sabihin na may nangyayari sa kanya doon sa bahay ng kanyang lola. At doon na nalaman ng complainant kung paano nag umpisa at nag tuloy 'yung panggagahasa sa kanyang anak,' Niqui said.
(This prompted the victim to scream and tell her what was happening at the house of her grandmother. It was then that the complainant found out how the sexual abuse started and continued.)
Niqui said the man underwent inquest proceedings for violation of Special Protection of Children Against Abuse, Exploitation and Discrimination Act, as amended.
The NBI also referred to the inquest prosecutor to conduct a preliminary investigation on the past incidents of sexual abuse against the victim.—AOL, GMA Integrated News

NAPOLCOM suspends arrested Pampanga mayor's police powers
The National Police Commission has suspended the police powers and control over the town of arrested San Simon, Pampanga Mayor Abundio Punsalan Jr. In a statement Friday, NAPOLCOM vice chairperson and executive officer Rafael Vicente R. Calinisan issued the order following Punsalan's arrest in an entrapment operation by the National Bureau of Investigation for allegedly accepting part of an P80 million bribe in exchange for a favorable resolution from the local government. Aside from this, Calinisan also ordered a motu proprio probe for a 'full revocation' of the police supervision and control powers of mayors in their respective areas. 'In line with this, NAPOLCOM Chief Commissioner Calinisan directed the Inspection, Monitoring and Investigation Service (IMIS) to conduct a motu proprio (on its own initiative) investigation toward the full revocation of the authority granted by NAPOLCOM to Local Chief Executives (LCEs) to exercise operational supervision and control over the police force within their jurisdiction,' the Commission said. The NAPOLCOM noted that these powers include police operations, police personnel assignment, safety plans, and selection of chief of police based on legal qualifications. 'Under the law, mayors and governors are automatically considered representatives of NAPOLCOM to perform these duties, even without a formal oath-taking,' Calinisan said. 'Their responsibilities also include overseeing police performance, supporting police seminars and training, and formulating plans for community public safety,' he added—Joviland Rita/AOL, GMA Integrated News

NBI nabs man for illegal recruitment, sexual harassment in Cavite
Authorities arrested a 44-year-old alleged illegal recruiter in Naic, Cavite who is also accused of sexually harassing applicants he promised jobs abroad. According to John Consulta's exclusive report on '24 Oras' on Thursday, the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) caught the suspect in a room with a person he was about to victimize. Upon arriving at the NBI office in Cavite, one of the suspect's victims punched him. The NBI said the suspect was recruited mechanics and massage therapists online and charged them a P20,000 placement fee. He also required his victims to have a one-on-one session with him. The suspect also promised the victims a P90,000 monthly salary, and once they believed him, he would engage in the alleged sexual harassment. According to the NBI, the victims came from different areas in the country such as Aklan, Cagayan, Isabela, Bicol and Cavite. 'Sila'y pinangakuan ng trabaho sa Japan. Under the pretext of conducting training activity, minomolestiya niya ng sexual at marami sa kanila ang nagreklamo na maliban sa illegal recruitment,' Atty Eric Nuqui, NBI Cavite District North chief. (They were promised jobs in Japan. Under the pretext of conducting a training activity, the suspect molested the victims, and many of them filed a sexual harassment complaint, aside from the illegal recruitment.) 'Wala hong kaukulang permit o lisensya ang nasabing recruiter para mag conduct ng overseas recruitment. Sa initial investigation natin, lumalabas na ang kanyang recruitment activities ay nag start noong 2019 at marami na siyang nabiktima,' Nuqui said. (The suspect has no permit or license to conduct overseas recruitment. Based on our initial investigation, his recruitment activities started in 2019 and already has a lot of victims.) GMA Integrated News has reached out to the suspect for comment. He is facing acts of lasciviousness and illegal recruitment charges. — Mariel Celine Serquiña/RF, GMA Integrated News

Pampanga mayor arrested amid P80-M extortion allegations
Authorities have arrested the mayor of San Simon, Pampanga after he was accused of extorting P80 million from a steel manufacturing company. According to John Consulta's report on 24 Oras, the operation stemmed from the complaint filed by the company with the National Bureau of Investigation. The company alleged that San Simon Mayor Abundio Punsalan Jr. was extorting money from them in exchange for being allowed to continue their operations in San Simon. 'Nakareceive nga kami ng reklamo na itong mayor ng San Simon, Pampanga humihingi ng pera para pahintulutan silang mag-manufacture ng steel doon sa lugar niya,' NBI Director Jaime Santiago said. (We did receive a complaint that the mayor of San Simon, Pampanga is asking for money in exchange for allowing them to manufacture steel in his area.) 'Pero ang laki ng hinihingi P80 million. P30 million muna paunang bayad. Kapag lumabas na 'yung resolution ay saka babayaran 'yung kakulangan. Nung tinanggap na ni mayor, ayun, inaresto na siya ng ating mga operatiba,' he added. (But the amount being asked for was huge, P80 million. An initial payment of P30 million first. Once the resolution is released, the remaining balance would be paid. When the mayor accepted it, that's when our operatives arrested him.) NBI agents arrested Punsalan in Clark, Pampanga. The agents recovered the P30 million marked money used during the meeting. Meanwhile, they also arrested the mayor's five bodyguards, including one who is a member of the Armed Forces of the Philippines, and a doctor who allegedly acted as the middleman. When brought to the Department of Justice for inquest, Punsalan did not comment on the allegations against him. As of Thursday, Santiago said that all subjects are now under the custody of the NBI at their facility in Bureau of Corrections in Muntinlupa City. —Joahna Lei Casilao/AOL, GMA Integrated News
