Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, July 19) — Tension broke out at the headquarters of the Manila Police District early Thursday after police arrested two of their men.

This after the Philippine National Police - Counter Intelligence Task Force (PNP-CITF) arrested 2 police personnel under the city's District Special Operations Unit (DSOU) involved in extortion.

P01 MJ Cerilla and P01 Erdie Barilla were reportedly conducting anti-human trafficking operations in Malate, Manila Wednesday night when they negotiated for ₱100,000 in exchange for the release of the complainant.

MPD District Director Superintendent Rolando Anduyan said the operation did not follow standard police procedure.

"Recorded 'yan, lahat ng conversation ng ginawa nilang pangongotong. Itong malilintikan. Nakakagigil din talaga e, pag nakikita mo na hanggang ngayon hindi pa rin naniniwala talaga sa ating Chief PNP na talagang 'yung ganyan na disiplina e magtrabaho tayo ng maayos; hindi 'yung kung anu-anong kalokohan," Anduyan said.

[Translation: That's recorded. All conversations of their extortion. They will be held liable. It frustrates me, since the police don't believe the PNP of this brand of discipline. Let's be disciplined in our work.]

Anduyan said there are still four other DSOU police officers involved in the incident that are still at-large.

The suspects will be facing administrative charges for robbery and extortion.

Anduyan also relieved the chief of Manila's DSOU because of command responsibility.
