A policeman who regularly collects protection money from public transport drivers in Pasig City has been arrested by the Philippine National Police (PNP) Counter-Intelligence Task force (CITF).
SPO1 Adonis N. Corpuz, assigned to Traffic Management Unit, Eastern Police District (EPD), was arrested Thursday morning by elements of the CITF working with EPD-Special Operations Unit (EPD-SOU) and Intelligence Group.
The entrapment operation was conducted at the 7-Eleven store at the Discovery Building, Life Homes, Rosario, Pasig City.
Claudio B. Homicillda, a complainant, said Corpuz was extorting P1,000 as protection money every 15th and 30th of the month from UV Express drivers at Lucky Gold terminal in Rosario, Pasig City.
Corpuz would harass and threaten to arrest PUV drivers if they fail to pay their “dues.” He also collects P500 weekly from a “habal-habal” terminal in Pasig City.
