Sinas orders admin raps vs. PNPA cadet in New Year's Eve mauling

Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Police General Debold Sinas on Friday ordered the filing of administrative charges against a cadet of the Philippine National Police Academy after he allegedly attacked a fellow cadet on New Year’s Eve.

According to the PNP-PIO, the initial investigation revealed that Cadet First Class Denvert Dulansi “mauled” Cadet First Class Joab Mar Nacnas at a school building roof deck in Camp Castañeda in Silang, Cavite.

“The PNP has no tolerance for wrongdoings of erring personnel, and will never tolerate any misconduct, abuse or breach of discipline,” Sinas said in a statement.

Based on the report, Nacnas cautioned Dulansi and two other First Class cadets, Guminigin and Tudlong, when he found them drinking an alcoholic beverage.

A heated argument occurred after, leading Nacnas to be attacked.

Nacnas was rushed to the Qualimed Hospital for treatment. He was later declared to be in a stable condition with no signs of internal injury based on CT scan and X-ray examinations.

Meanwhile, Dulansi was turned over to the Silang Municipal Police Station for investigation.

Due to this,  Sinas has also directed the Directorate for Human Resource and Doctrine Development to place all cadets involved under restriction while termination and dismissal proceedings are underway. -NB, GMA News
