The Philippine National Police Highway Patrol Group (PNP-HPG) announced Sunday that it has reassigned 13 personnel following an alleged confrontation with Bureau of Customs (BOC) agents in Bulacan province.
According to the PNP-HPG statement, the reported confrontation between its officers and BOC agents took place during an operation in the area. The highway patrol unit said it initiated the personnel transfer to address the incident and maintain inter-agency cooperation.
The reassignments come as authorities investigate the circumstances surrounding the alleged clash. Both the PNP-HPG and BOC are key law enforcement agencies operating in the region, and the incident highlights potential coordination challenges between the organizations during field operations.
The move reflects the PNP-HPG's commitment to disciplinary procedures and administrative protocols when incidents involving personnel occur. Further details regarding the nature of the confrontation and the specific reasons for each reassignment have not been disclosed.
