MANILA, Philippines — Two police officers in Marikina City were placed under preventive custody after allegedly molesting a female colleague, according to the Eastern Police District (EPD) late Wednesday.
The incident reportedly happened last Aug. 17, 2025 while the unidentified policewoman and the two suspects, a staff sergeant and a patrolman, were on duty.
Brig. Gen. Aden Lagradante, EPD District Director, said the complainant recounted that her colleagues parked the police vehicle and one of them allegedly touched her private part.
“The report I read said she was only touched, but as to the sexual act it is not yet clear,” Lagradante said.
