At NBI:  First, suspect’s illegal sojourn outside detention cell; now, ‘sexy dancer’ in command conference


In just two weeks, the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) is again under probe by the Department of Justice (DOJ).

First, it was the leaving from the NBI detention cell of a suspect in criminal cases without a court order or on an emergency like medical needs.

Now, it was the performance of a “sexy dancer” during the NBI’s mid-year command conference at the Diamond Hotel in Manila last June 29 and 30.

Aside from the sexy dancer whose performance was recorded on video, there were allegedly other performers from the entertainment industry during the event.

Infuriated, Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin C. Remulla ordered an investigation.

“These are the forms of misbehavior that we don’t need in the country,” Remulla declared during a briefing with journalists.

“Definitely we do not want this to happen. We’ll investigate it also,” said Remulla who reported to the DOJ on Thursday, July 6, after undergoing a heart bypass operation during his 10-day wellness leave.
