Whistleblower Julie “Dondon” Patidongan, also known as “Totoy,” is set to formally file a complaint affidavit against police officers he claimed were involved in the disappearance of several sabungeros (cockfight enthusiasts).

In a radio interview, Patidongan said he intends to file the complaint at the National Police Commission (NAPOLCOM) on Monday.

“Sa Lunes, talagang pupunta na ako sa NAPOLCOM. ’Yung mga pulis na nabanggit ko ay ipapafilan ko na doon sa NAPOLCOM,” he said.

(I will be going to NAPOLCOM on Monday to file a formal complaint against the police officers I previously identified.)

This development came after NAPOLCOM Vice Chairperson and Executive Officer Atty. Rafael Calinisan urged Patidongan last week to submit a formal affidavit detailing his accusations.

The commission has been conducting its own administrative investigation into the alleged involvement of several police officers in the high-profile case.

Earlier, NAPOLCOM confirmed it has already compiled a list of officers linked to the disappearance of the sabungeros, based on ongoing fact-finding efforts.

So far, 15 police officers have been placed under restrictive custody at Camp Crame in Quezon City in connection with the case. Patidongan had previously accused them of being involved in the abduction of the missing individuals.

Meanwhile, Patidongan has raised new allegations in the ongoing case of the missing sabungeros, claiming that a police officer believed to be involved in the abductions owns a fish farm in Taal Lake that may have been used in the alleged killings.

“Kasi yung may are na pulis may sang palaisdaan d’yan. Siguro doon dinadala at doon siguro sinagawa ang pagpaslang sa mga missing sabungero kaya medyo natuntun nila yung area na ‘yan,” he said.

(Because the police officer who owns the place has a fish farm there. The victims were likely brought there, and that may have been where the killings of the missing sabungeros took place, which is probably why that area was eventually traced.)

He added that the officer in question remains on active duty.

“Active ho iyan. Siguro nasa Camp Crame na iyan,” he said.

(That officer is still active. Maybe he’s already at Camp Crame.)

Patidongan also claimed that both police officers and a few civilians were part of the group allegedly responsible for transporting and abducting the missing individuals.

“Yung mga nagdala may mag pulls din at may mag ilan-ilan na sibilyan na kasama sa grupo nila,” he added.

(Those who transported them included some police officers and a few civilians who were part of their group.)
