NBI Conducts One-on-One Interviews

In a recent update, Melvin Matibag confirmed that the 18 individuals identified as former Marines have undergone individual interviews as part of the ongoing investigation.

According to Matibag, the approach aims to ensure that each testimony is carefully examined.

“It will establish the credibility of the testimony.”

Focus on Credibility and Verification

The NBI emphasized that the one-on-one interviews are crucial in addressing all angles of the القضية.

By interviewing each individual separately, investigators aim to:

• verify consistency
• identify discrepancies
• assess credibility

Matibag explained that this process helps form a clearer and more complete picture of the claims made in the joint affidavit.

Report to Be Submitted to Ombudsman

The NBI confirmed that the results of the investigation will be formally submitted to the Office of the Ombudsman.

The report will include:

• interview transcripts
• gathered evidence
• findings from investigators

This step signals a transition from fact-finding to potential legal evaluation.

“We Are Professionals” — NBI Stance

Matibag also highlighted that the agency remains focused on its mandate and broader responsibilities.

“We are all professionals here… the NBI works 24/7 to protect peace and order.”

He declined to engage in further public exchanges regarding criticisms, emphasizing that the investigation should proceed through proper channels.

No Final Conclusions Yet

As of now, the investigation remains ongoing.

Authorities have not yet released any final findings, and the claims related to the 18 former Marines remain unverified pending official review.

Observers note that the submission to the Ombudsman will be a key development in determining the next steps.
