The Department of Justice (DOJ) is poised to look into alleged misconduct by National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) personnel during the agency’s command conference held in a posh hotel in Manila last week.
“The DOJ is investigating as well as all of the officials of the NBI for this kind of behavior. We will not patronize anyone. Those involved should be held accountable,” DOJ Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla commented.
The Justice chief was referring to an incident that marred the NBI’s command conference involving a scantily clad dancer entertaining the country’s top criminal investigators.
A video of the incident that went viral on social media showed comedian Long Meija introducing the dancer before she took center stage during a break in the conference.
A woman in a black lace top and black shorts was seen shimmying and swaying in the video.
The event also allegedly featured other celebrity performers for their entertainment. The video garnered attention on social media after netizens pointed out the inappropriate character of the video.
“Definitely we don’t like this to happen. We’ll investigate it. These are the forms of misbehavior that we don’t need in the country,” an irked Remulla added in his statement
The NBI has yet to give a statement regarding the issue.
