NBI apologizes for the agent’s unprofessional conduct with media covering anti-drug ops

Reporters were said to have arrived at the scene after the operation and while the NBI operatives were already conducting an inventory. 


They were then asked to sign the inventory report, which they refused to do as they didn't witness the entire process, leading the NBI agent to hurl insults at the reporters.


“The NBI offers its apology to the members of the media regarding the incident that transpired at dawn today involving the drug operation in Roxas Boulevard, [...]"

- the NBI said in a statement. 


In an ambush interview, Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla said members of the media must witness the whole operation. 


“You’re part of the cooperative witness already... You have no duty to testify if you were really not part of it,” Remullla said.
