According to Napolocom Vice Chairman and Executive Officer Rafael Vicente Calinisan, once all the affidavits are in, the commission's Inspection, Monitoring and Investigation Service (IMIS) will carefully evaluate both the complaints and the responses of the respondents.

“Yung IMIS natin will evaluate yung complaint kasabay nung mga sagot nung mga respondents. Kung feeling nila hindi na kinakailangan na magtuloy yung kaso, idi-dismiss nila yung kaso. Pero kung sa kanilang pananaw dapat itong tumuloy, sila ay magfa-file ng formal charge uh o kaya kaso sa loob mismo ng National Police Commission. At diringgin na ito at magkakaroon ng ilang hearing at full-blown hearing para sa sabong case na ito,” said Calinisan.
