CAGAYAN DE ORO, Philippines – The group of policemen, found guilty of kidnapping a former overseas Filipino worker in Cagayan de Oro, took turns in beating him up in a rural village house in the city nearly seven years ago. They then used the Duterte administration’s war on drugs as a defense in court.
The brazen, broad-daylight abduction outside an online gaming establishment in a busy district in uptown Cagayan de Oro on October 23, 2016, was caught on CCTV footage.It wasn’t the last time Fernandez was seen alive by someone who had nothing to do with the abduction. Kho said a boy testified seeing the heavily armed policemen bring Fernandez to the house of one of the convicts, Police Corporal Alejandro Ubanan, in the village of Canitoan, on the same day of the abduction.
The policemen, according to the witness, repeatedly struck Fernandez’s head and back with a car jack.Later, the witness said, he saw two of Ubanan’s companions carrying the bloodied and unconscious Fernandez to the same car used in the abduction and then left. Kho said all the policemen denied abducting Fernandez, but told the court that the victim was arrested in line with the drug war launched by the Duterte administration.
“The court did not believe them because the video clearly showed that there was vehement resistance coming from the victim,” Kho told Rappler. He told Rappler in another interview that the policemen operated like a crime syndicate, and he was glad to see them behind bars.
