Government to create joint probe panel for carjacking

February 3, 2011

THE government is creating a joint investigative panel that will look into the alleged involvement of some personnel of the Philippine National Police (PNP) in the carjacking and killing incidents that occurred in Pampanga last month.
In a media briefing at the Palace on Wednesday, Presidential Communications Development and Strategic Planning Office (PCDSPO) Secretary Ramon Carandang said the joint investigation panel will be composed of representatives from the Department of Justice (DOJ) and Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG), who will conduct a probe on the claims from some groups that there were some police officials involved in the killing and carjacking incidents last month.
“As you know, there have been allegations that some police officials might be involved in the carjackings … the DOJ and the DILG has set up a panel to investigate, specifically the allegations that some officials might be involved in that,” Carandang said.
The joint panel will consist of the National Police Commission (Napolcom), the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI), the PNP and the National Prosecution Service, as well as the DOJ and the DILG.
Carandang said the creation of the panel was the initiative of both agencies concerned.
“The specifics was up to them but the President did express the desire for that to be looked into, the actual forming of the panel might have been the idea of the DILG and the DOJ,” Carandang noted.
Two car dealers were killed last month after meeting with unidentified persons posing as buyers.
The victims Venzon Evangelista and Emerson Lozano and his companion Ernane Sensil went missing after meeting with the clients. (Press Release)
