CAMP TOLENTINO, Bataan- Chief Inspector Ruben Tampis, a native of Mariveles town, has been designated as provincial officer (PO) of the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group in Bataan.
The designation of Major Tampis, a law graduate and veteran CIDG investigator, came after the PNP hierarchy suddenly relieved Chief Inspector Melchor Cantil as PO of Bataan following a series of reported complaints from their operations, including one alleged victim-Freddie Tungia, with whom the CIDG confiscated his two guns with legitimate licenses.
“I am a legitimate license gun holder being a legitimate businessman and yet the CIDG still confiscated my guns and had my personal property pawned just to come across with the demand for “settlement” by CIDG agents; so I personally reported this matter to PNP chief Alan Purisima who, in turn ordered the immediate relief of Major Cantil and his one agent identified as Cruz, pending their investigation” said the teary-eyed Tungia.
