Among the respondents in the complaint is Col. Raymund Lachica, head of the VPSPG, who was allegedly seen physically pushing and assaulting the Philippine National Police (PNP) doctor assigned to assist Zuleika Lopez during her transfer to the VMMC, according to a statement by PNP Chief Rommel Marbil.

In a press briefing, PNP Spokesperson Brig. Gen. Jean Fajardo said that Lachica’s act of pushing the PNP doctor could qualify as “qualified direct assault,” as Lachica is a public officer.

“We cannot let this pass. It is clear in our laws that if you are a public officer and you lay hands on agents or persons of authority who are present in the performance of their official duties, it is a violation,” Fajardo said in a mix of English and Filipino. 

The illegal drugs were inside four suspicious parcels falsely declared as massage oil and coffee. The items were spotted and flagged during a routine X-ray screening, which was confirmed by a K-9 inspection.

Maharani Gadaoni-Tosoc, PDEA regional director, said the destruction of the confiscated illegal drugs were disposed through thermal decomposition using the boiler facility of a canning company in Barangay Ayala.

“We will file the necessary cases against Colonel Lachica and others who interfered with the implementation of Congress's orders,” she added. 

The House Committee on Good Government and Public Accountability cited Zuleika Lopez for contempt due to "undue interference." She was initially ordered to serve a five-day detention, which was later extended to 10 days following the incident.

Aside from the cases filed by the QCPD, the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) has issued a summons to Vice President Sara Duterte regarding her assassination remarks directed at the Marcoses and House Speaker Martin Romualdez.
