The Police Regional Office-Northern Mindanao (PRO-10) has launched an investigation into two men who allegedly posed as police officers during a campaign sortie in Camiguin.

The two men on motorcycle reportedly followed a political group that was conducting a house-to-house campaign, according to a viral social media post.

According to the netizen who made the post, volunteers of the political group flagged the two men down. The two allegedly introduced themselves as police officers.

However, the two fled when the volunteers asked for identification (ID).

“Unsa ka government ba ka unsa imong trabaho ingon dayon ko PNP ka? Ingon siya oo. PNP ka adto ta sa kampo ninyo karon i-blotter taka. Pagkahuman dayon ingon siya nga balikan kuno ko niya,” the complainant, John Paul Aranas, said.

PRO-10 spokesperson, Major Joann Navarro, said Camiguin Police Provincial Director, Col. Benbo Jumalon, confirmed that the two men in the photos that have been shared online are not among the cops in the province.

Authorities urged the public to report any similar incident.

“Walay susama nga dagway niadto nga miyembro sa Camiguin Provincial Police Office sa pagka karon aduna nay gihimo nga investigation kay ang maong insidente naka hatag ug kakuyaw ug kaguol sa mg residente sa maong area,” Navarro said.
