A COMBINED team of the Army and the Philippine National Police-Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (PNP-CIDG) has arrested in Pampanga two wanted impersonators of Army chief Lt. Gen. Roy Galido.
The suspects, identified as Antonio Oreño Cerbito and Ariel Oreño, were reputedly the leaders of an organized group of scammers that targeted government suppliers.
