When the perpetrators left, the family discovered that P14 million in cash had been taken from the property.
Regional Office 3 Director confirmed that four of the officers involved were from the Angeles City Police, while one was attached to the Zambales Provincial Police Office.
The names of the officials have not been released as authorities continue their investigation.
The police officers have not issued any public statements or defenses regarding the allegations.
Authorities are working to gather evidence and assess the circumstances surrounding the incident.
This dismissal underscores ongoing concerns about accountability within the police force and the need for strict measures against misconduct.
Officials have assured the public that the case is being handled carefully, with the objective of ensuring justice for the affected family.
As investigations continue, the incident has drawn attention from both local authorities and the community, raising questions about trust and responsibility in law enforcement roles. The outcome of the inquiry will determine possible legal consequences for the officers involved.
In Davao City, a 74-year-old man lost his life at the hands of his own grandson, a tragedy that stunned their neighborhood. According to relatives, the 27-year-old suspect had previously displayed threatening behavior and had been admitted several times to a mental health facility. The family has decided not to pursue criminal charges and instead intends to place him under psychiatric care. Neighbors remain shaken by the sudden and heartbreaking loss.
In another case, an 18-year-old student passed away after unauthorized CCTV footage—allegedly showing her taking ice cream without paying—circulated among local youths. Her family said the viral clip caused overwhelming shame, fear, and anxiety. Authorities have since filed complaints against the store owner and a study room supervisor for possible violations of privacy laws. The two incidents have ignited nationwide conversations about digital harm and the responsibilities tied to sharing sensitive footage, particularly when minors are involved. Experts warn that online actions can carry severe real-world consequences. Advocates are also urging greater mental health support and stronger awareness to help prevent similar tragedies in the future.
