Subic Freeport exec faces extort raps
By: Johnny R. Reblando - People's Journal
SUBIC Bay Freeport – The National Bureau of Investigation arrested a top ranking employee of the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority during an entrapment Friday morning.
Lawyer Joel Curammeng, agent-in-charge of the NBI-Olongapo City district, identified the suspect as Gregorio Royol, head of Port Operation Division of the Seaport department located at Seaport Building 244, Waterfront Road, this Freeport.
The suspect was arrested by a team led by executive officer Magno Britaqnico and special investigators Agni Fontanilla, Paulo Calip and Lemuel Garcia based on the complaint of Arthur Padilla, president of Samahan ng mga Mahihirap Bantay ng Bayan, an accredited Ships Line Handler.
Padilla said Royol has been extorting money from him since 2006 by threatening to have his business closed.
Padilla claimed he had already given the suspect a total of P147,000 and $100. He said the suspect would threaten him by wielding a gun. He added the suspect’s latest demand was P155,000 and a brand new vehicle.
“Pine-pressure na niya ako at kailangan na daw niya ng pera para pambili ng Armalite na kanyang gagamitin sa rantso niya sa Cagayan,” Padilla said.
Examination made by NBI forensic chemist showed that Royol was positive for fluorescent powder.
People’s Journal tried to reach Royol for comment but he declined.
The NBI agents recovered from the suspect five pieces of P1,000 tied to several strips of paper.
The suspect was detained at the NBI District Office.
