MANILA, Philippines—A police official on Tuesday warned police applicants to beware of people who pose as National Police Commission (Napolcom) employees and offer to facilitate their entry into the Philippine National Police for a fee.
Superintendent Marcelino Pedrozo, chief of the Quezon City Police District’s intelligence operations unit, issued the warning following the arrest of Lilia Ladyaalam, 52.
Pedrozo said Ladyaalam, who claimed to be a Napolcom employee, was arrested in an entrapment operation on Monday in a fastfood restaurant on Congressional Avenue near Edsa.
He added that her arrest was based on the complaint of a woman who said that Ladyaalam promised to ensure her son’s entry into the police service—whether or not he passed the PNP entrance exam—in exchange for P25,000.
The applicant was scheduled to take the test in October. Ladyaalam also told the complainant that she could just pay her an initial P10,000 with the rest to be paid later.
