MANILA, Philippines — President Rodrigo Duterte admitted not being surprised when police officers are involved in crimes but clarified that it is too early to conclude that there are law enforcers behind the disappearance of online cockfighting enthusiasts.

Dionardo Carlos reported that the policemen linked to the disappearances were placed in a holding unit in Camp Crame so they could face their charges.
