1. Either present the pre-2017 books or issue a Certificate of Destruction within the allowed 15 days, anything less is CORRUPTION, OBSTRUCTION and causing me further MENTAL ANGUISH which is CHILD ABUSE

2. You have NO ALLOWABLE GROUNDS FOR AN EXTENSION OF TIME;

Please specify your reason for Extension as 2.3 Response to Requests

COP Dipolog Police Station EDWIN DUNECEHO VERZON admitted in writing on August 17, 2022, that the Desk Sergeant Log Books from 2008 that contains a Statement about the Attempted Murder of a Minor, can't be located (see attached).

All of the Desk Sergeant Log Books Post 2017 were found sitting in the shelf of the Desk Sergeant, and this was captured on video, with the admission of the Desk Sergeant that Pre-2017 books were recently relocated to an unknown location.

Please issue a Certificate of Destruction as required by law, or produce the books as required by law, it is that simple.
