Ex-Kalinga police official, ai
POLICE officials yesterday placed under restrictive custody a former provincial police chief and an aide for allegedly meddling in the investigation of the July 31 ambush of physician and Bayan Muna leader Constancio “Chandu” Claver which resulted in the death of his wife Alyce and injury to his seven-year-old daughter.
National Police Chief Oscar Calderon, issued the order after meeting with Claver’s uncle, Bishop Francisco Claver of the Apostolic Vicariate of Bontok-Lagawe. Chandu is the son of the late Constancio Claver, the eldest brother of the retired Jesuit bishop.
Placed under restrictive custody were Senior Supt. Pedro Ramos, former Kalinga provincial police director, and his driver-bodyguard SPO3 Jessie Caranto.
“The PNP also committed to the Claver family to pursue administrative cases against Ramos for alleged negligence, failure to conduct pursuit operations and failure to preserve the scene of the crime,” said Chandu’s relative Francesca Claver who was also present in the meeting with Calderon.
She said Calderon also pledged to reconstitute Task Force Bulanao that was created to investigate the case, especially after Kalinga policemen, allegedly backed by regional police intelligence agents, disarmed and detained four policemen who were investigating the Claver ambush.
Kalinga policemen disarmed and detained for nine hours Chief Insp. Roland Osias of the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group and three of his men for nine hours who were investigating reports that witnesses to the ambush were retracting their sworn statements.
Task Force Bulanao had earlier implicated Caranto as one of the men who were riding in two vans and intercepted and attacked the Clavers who had just come from St. Toni’s College in Tabuk town on July 31.
Caranto, who is a member of the San Jose del Monte National Police office, allegedly had breakfast with Ramos on the day the family were ambushed, but Ramos denied at a press conference that he and Caranto had a hand in the ambush.
In a press conference at Camp Crame last week, Ramos admitted that Caranto was having breakfast with him at the Kalinga police station when the Clavers were ambushed, but he failed to explain why Caranto, who is assigned in San Jose del Monte, Bulacan, was with him.
CIDG sources said Caranto was seen at Ramos office five days before the Claver ambush and it was only last Aug. 28 that Caranto asked to be detailed in the Kalinga provincial police office.
Chandu is the Kalinga chapter chairman of the Bayan Muna party, where Alyce was also an official. The military has accused Chandu of aiding and abetting communist rebels who purportedly sought medical aid at Chandu’s hospital.
Shortly after the ambush, Ramos told a local radio station that Claver was a member of the communist National Democratic Front, a charge that the Claver family denies.
Former Rep. William Claver, another brother of the bishop, had earlier said the local police tried to obfuscate the investigation by blaming the ambush on a dissatisfied patient who allegedly wanted revenge for Chandu’s allegedly exorbitant fees.
The former congressman also dismissed a police theory that a land dispute may have been behind the ambush.
