"We take these allegations with the utmost gravity," PNP chief Gen. Rommel Francisco Marbil said yesterday, referring to claims made by police Lt. Col. Jovie Espenido.

Marbil assured the public that a probe would be conducted as part of an ongoing assessment by the PNP's oversight bodies.

A review panel has been tasked with evaluating Oplan Double Barrel and Espenido's disclosures.

The panel will also examine all aspects of the drug war, with particular attention to human rights, operational protocols and accountability mechanisms that were in place during the operations.

"Our objective is to address any concerns, ensuring that the PNP's anti-drug operations are conducted in a manner that upholds the rule of law and respects human dignity," Marbil said.
