QUEZON CITY, Philippines — An active police officer of Pasay Police Station 5 was arrested by members of the Philippine National Police Counter-Intelligence Task Force (CITF) in a buy-bust at 3rd Street, Bagong Lipunan, Quezon City on Tuesday (October 23) afternoon.
The CITF’s poseur-buyer reached out to PO2 Jaid Pingli to purchase M4 and M16 rifles for P90,000.
Authorities also arrested Pingli’s civilian accomplice, Jose Dalayre, who manufactures the guns.
CITF commander PSSupt. Romeo Caramat Jr., said it was the poseur-buyer’s fourth time to purchase weapons from the two suspects.
Police confiscated a M4, M16 rifles and a 9mm pistol from the two.

Caramat confirmed that among the suspects’ clients that patronize unlicensed guns are two politicians from Kalinga.
“Nalalapit na ang eleksyon magiging delikado at di natin ma ensure na magiging tahimik ang eleksyon,” Caramat said.
The suspects are allegedly connected with the Pingli Brothers of Zamboanga Peninsula — a known kidnap for ransom syndicate.
“He is a relative of the notorious Pingli Brothers of Zamboanga Peninsula who are involved in kidnap for ransom activities and yung mga ibang pinsan nito ay nahuli na at namatay na sa police operations at yung iba ay at large,” Caramat said.
Pingli and Dalayre are facing charges for violation of Republic Act 10591 or the Comprehensive Firearms and Ammunition Regulation Act.
Aside from a criminal case, Pingli will also face administrative charges. — Lea Ylagan
