Pulis tanggal sa serbisyo kaugnay ng 'missing beauty queen' | Pilipino Star Ngayon

MANILA, Philippines — Pinatawan na ng "dismissal from police service" si Police Major Allan Avena De Castro matapos lumabas ang ebidensya ng diumano'y extramarital affair sa nawawalang beauty queen na si Catherine Camilon.

Inanunsyo ito ni PBGEN Paul Kenneth T Lucas, regional director para sa CALABARZON Police, ngayong Huwebes sa isang press conference sa Calamba City, Laguna. 

"Police Major Allan Avena De Castro's dismissal serves as a significant step in ensuring that individuals entrusted with the responsibilities of serving and protecting our people are held accountable for their actions," ani Lucas.

"We remain committed to conducting fair and impartial investigations into any similar allegations of misconduct, regardless of our personnel’s rank or position."

"Hindi natin hahayaan na masangkot sa ano mang katulad na insidente ang ating mga personnel that will taint the image of the PNP especially here in the Police Regional Office CALABARZON."

Nilagdaan ni Lucas ang naturang order of dismissal nitong Martes matapos ang aniya'y masinsing imbestigasyon ng Regional Internal Affairs Service 4A sa admmninistrative case na inihain laban kay De Castro matapos ireklamo ng "conduct unbecoming of a police officer."

Nobyembre lang nang lumitaw ang dalawang saksi kaugnay ng pagkawala ng Miss Grand Philippines 2023 candidate. Sinasabing nakitang duguan si Camilon habang inililipat sa isang sasakyan bago tuluyang mawala.

Gayunpaman, inilinaw ng Police Regional Office 4A na ang dismissal ni De Castro ay hiwalay pang administrative action mula sa criminal investigation kaugnay ng pagkawala ni Camilon.

Humaharap pa si De Castro sa isa pang administrative case kaugnay ng criminal charges ng kidnapping with serious illegal detention.

"The legal process will continue to unfold, and updates will be provided to the media and the public as necessary," patuloy ni Lucas.

"His dismissal from the service underscores the commitment of the command in maintaining the highest standards of conduct and integrity within our ranks. This reflects our dedication to transparency, accountability, and upholding the principles of justice."
