MANILA, Philippines — The National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) relieved Quezon City Police District (QCPD) director Brig. Gen. Melecio Buslig Jr. from his post.
This came in a general order from NCRPO director Maj. Gen. Anthony Aberin dated April 21.
“Pursuant to Section 26, RA (Republic Act) 6975, and PNP MC (Philippine National Police Memorandum Circular) No. 20-2020 dated October 8, 2020, PBGen. Melecio Maddatu Buslig Jr. O-08017, DD, QCPD, is administratively relieved effective April 21, 2025,” the order read.

Buslig’s relief stemmed from an incident where a QCPD officer allegedly broke into homes in Barangay Damayan and injured some of its residents, NCRPO Director Maj. Gen. Anthony Aberin said at a press conference in Camp Karingal on Tuesday.
“Ini-relieve natin si district director because, as I see it, hindi niya ini-report sa akin agad yung pangyayari,” Aberin explained.
(We relieved the district director because, as I see it, he didn’t report the incident immediately.)
“Nalaman ko ito doon sa mismong station commander. Tumawag sa akin ‘yung station commander about the incident tapos sinabi niya sa akin ‘yung mga aksyon na ginagawa niya,” he added.
(We found out from the station commander himself. He called me about the incident, and he told me about the actions he was undertaking.)
