NCRPO chief Estomo: No lapses in police coordination with BuCor after middleman's death
At a press conference, Estomo responded to the statement of suspended BuCor chief Gerald Bantag that the Philippine National Police “Gusto ko i-clarify sa inyo na walang lapse ang PNP. Snappy ang aking [special investigation task group] ko. Depending na rin sa sinabi ni Chief PNP na maganda ang naging imbestigasyon sa Lapid case. Kami ang nagkaroon ng breakthrough,” he said.
Estomo admitted that the police indeed failed to instruct the BuCor to secure Villamor because the bureau already told them that there is no one named Crisanto Villamor in the Bilibid. It was found out later on that the middleman was registered in BuCor’s record as Jun Villamor and not Crisanto. It was announced on October 20 that Villamor died inside Bilibid on October 18, hours after Escorial was presented to the media.
For Estomo, BuCor should have secured all the Villamors inside the Bilibid even without the instruction of the police.
