The Philippine National Police (PNP) will install a memorial marker inside Camp Crame for slain South Korean businessman Jee Ick Joo, nearly a decade after he was abducted and killed by rogue police officers.

The decision came after Jee's widow, Choi Kyung Jin, requested that a memorial be established within the PNP headquarters to honor her late husband.

Choi, accompanied by South Korean Ambassador Lee Sang-hwa and other Korean officials, visited Camp Crame on Wednesday after PNP chief Jose Melencio Nartatez Jr. approved the request.

"I never expected it to actually come true. I simply made the request because I hoped there would be a place to honor and remember my husband. The fact that it has become a reality feels like an absolute dream right now," Choi said.

She also thanked the Philippine government, Interior Secretary Jonvic Remulla, Nartatez, and Ambassador Lee for helping fulfill her request.

Nartatez said the memorial marker will be installed within the grounds of the Police Community Affairs and Development Group (PCADG) to give Jee's family a place to visit and remember him.

"They can visit this place. Siyempre office nila, may garden to entertain or kausap nila 'yung mga bisita nila or ka-engage nila, this Community Affairs Engagement Division," Nartatez said.

Jee was abducted by rogue police officers in October 2016 and was later killed inside Camp Crame during the height of the government's anti-illegal drugs campaign.

Choi also expressed relief over the recent arrest of former police lieutenant colonel Rafael Dumlao III, one of the alleged masterminds in the killing.

Dumlao was arrested in June after years in hiding.

Speaking through an interpreter, Choi said Dumlao's arrest brought her family relief and a sense of closure after years of waiting for justice.

"First of all, I was relieved that the culprit was finally apprehended, and it made me realize that the Philippine government had actually been making an effort to arrest him," she said.

She admitted that after Dumlao remained at large for more than a year, she began to believe authorities no longer intended to capture him.

"But with Dumlao finally being arrested after such a long time, I felt that my husband could finally find some peace," Choi said.

"As for myself, knowing the culprit was caught, I felt a sense of closure—a feeling that 'I did what I had to do,'" she added.
