Amante claimed that a second team of police officers arrived at 4:40 a.m., this time with a search warrant and were accompanied by barangay officials. “And even more curious, it was the second team of police officers that discovered and seized the sachets of shabu and one hand grenade,” he added. The congressman added that he would be filing a resolution directing the House committee on good government and public accountability to conduct an inquiry into the raid. “I intend for this measure to fully and finally unmask the truth and show to everyone the sinister scheme of violence and police brutality spreading across our province,” Amante said. He also called on the Department of Interior and Local Government and the Philippine National Police to conduct their own investigations.
