Former Senior Supt. Cesar Mancao II of the defunct Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Task Force has surrendered to the Philippine National Police Criminal Investigation and Detection Group.
PNP-CIDG National Capital Region chief Senior Supt. Belli Tamayo yesterday confirmed that Mancao is now in their custody in Camp Crame, Quezon City.
Tamayo said Mancao voluntarily surrendered in his office in Camp Crame on Monday.
Mancao is an accused in the abduction and murder of noted publicist Salvador “Bubby” Dacer and his driver Emmanuel Corbito in November 2000.
He escaped from the National Bureau of Investigation Detention Center in Manila in May 2013.
Mancao complained then that all the principal accused have already been cleared of the charges and are living normal lives while he remains detained.
Mancao and others involved in the case such as now PNP Anti-Kidnapping Group chief Senior Supt. Glenn Dumlao and Senior Supt. Michael Ray Aquino fled to the US following the double murder. They were eventually extradited to face the charges.
Dumlao has been reinstated while Aquino was ordered released by a Manila court. (PNA with reports from GMA News)
