Following the directives of the Chief PNP PGen Benjamin C Acorda Jr. for a more intensified and aggressive campaign against criminality, detectives of CIDG NCR as part of its OPLAN "OLEA" launched an entrapment operation against extortionists in the evening (8:00 PM) of March 11, 2024, in Bluebay Walk, Metropolitan Park Building, Diosdado Macapagal Blvd. Pasay City.
The police operation resulted in the apprehension of 48-year-old alias “Isko” and his cohorts identified as 46-year-old alias “Joselito” and 42-year-old Marines alias “German” and the seizure of the following pieces of evidence:
- Marked money placed on top of boodle money;

The CIDG Director, PMGen Romeo M Caramat Jr averred that the said police operation stemmed based on the complaint lodged by the victim against alias “Isko” who promised him that he would protect his Emissions testing and Medical business in LTO in exchange for Php5 million pesos.
"Si alyas “Isko” ay nag-claim ng impluwensya at direktang koneksyon sa ating First Lady Marie Louise Araneta Marcos, na kung tumanggi ang biktima na ibigay ang hinihinging pera ay ipakakansela niya ang lahat ng kanyang mga transakyon sa Negosyo,” CIDG Director added.
The confiscated pieces of evidence were brought to the arresting unit for proper disposition while the suspects will be facing a criminal complaint for violation of Art. 293 of the Revised Penal Code (Robbery Extortion) before the City Prosecutor’s Office of Pasay City.
"The CIDG calls on the public to be alert and critical about the identity of the person you are transacting with and I have instructed my operatives to step up its efforts in the arrest of these criminals within the bounds of the law," said CIDG top cop. # # #
