National Bureau of Investigation (Philippines)
Agency of the Philippine government
The National Bureau of Investigation (Filipino: Pambansang Kawanihan ng Pagsisiyasat, abbreviated as NBI) is an agency of the Philippine government under the Department of Justice, responsible for handling and solving major high-profile cases that are in the interest of the nation.
The NBI was modelled after the United States' Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) when it was being established.
History
The Division of Investigation, later renamed the National Bureau of Investigation, came into existence on June 19, 1947, the date Republic Act No. 157 was approved. Its history goes back to November 13, 1936, when a Division of Investigation (DI) under the Department of Justice was created with the enactment of Commonwealth Act No. 181 by the First National Assembly. Section 1, C.A. No. 181 provides:
A Division of Investigation under the Department of Justice is hereby created. It shall be composed of such personnel as may be necessary, in the discretion of the Secretary of Justice, and its duties shall be to help in the detection and prosecution of crimes; to acquire, collect, classify and preserve criminal identification records; and to obtain information on all matters affecting the public interest.
The DI was the brainchild of CommonwealthPresidentManuel L. Quezon and the then–Secretary of Justice José Yulo. A veteran American police officer, Capt. Thomas Duggan of the New York Police Department (NYPD), and the only Filipino member of the United StatesFederal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Flaviano Guerrero, were hired by the Philippine government to organize the Division of Investigation of the Department of Justice.
The formation of the DI generated considerable public interest and more than 3,000 applied for the initial 48 positions of NBI Agents.

President Quezon, fortunately, gave us a day in Malacañang to air our sentiments.” But the clouds of World War II ominously hovered over the archipelago, dimming Jolly Bugarin’s dream of practicing law. He continued his recollection: “After graduation we were called to serve in the Philippine Army. This was the time when the European War was on. I graduated from the Advance Reserve Officers Training Course. Thus, after graduation, I was commissioned an officer in the army. A member of the UP Vanguard, I was assigned during the war to the Second Regular Division under Gen. Guillermo Francisco.” Providentially, he survived the Bataan death march. During the post-liberation period, he continued to serve in the AFP, occupying key positions. In 1950, he took the Officers Investigation Course in Camp Gordon, Georgia, USA. In 1952, when the late Ramon Magsaysay was Secretary of National Defense, Bugarin took up Bachelor of Arts in Police Science and Administration, and in 1953, earned his Master’s degree in the same course, at the Washington State University at Pullman, Washington. “I was lucky to pass the examination for scholarship in that University,” he said. “Before enjoying the scholarship, I informed Secretary of National Defense Ramon Magsaysay about the scholarship, and he was kind enough to send me as a scholar of the Philippine Constabulary. I graduated at the top of my class,” he beamed. In 1953, he was elected to the Phi Kappa Phi, International Scholastic Honorary WSCI as well as to Alpha Kappa-Delta, National Director Jolly R. Bugarin of the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) in a letter dated December 21, 1972 recommended to Secretary of Justice Vicente Abad Santos that Felix A. Rivera, the municipal judge of Bacarra, Ilocos Norte, be administratively charged for having performed an illegal marriage ceremony (there was no marriage license). The marriage was allegedly performed on September 5, 1972 between Corazon Negre of Magsingal, Ilocos Sur (she was born on May 7, 1954) and one Amado Orpilla, a married man and a teacher at a vocational school located at Allacapan, Cagayan, who had allegedly raped Miss Negre in a hotel at Laoag City on August 28, 1972. Miss Negre reported the case to the NBI Regional Office at Laoag City. She denounced Judge Rivera to the President of the Philippines in a letter dated May 31, 1973. On September 5, 1972, when the marriage was allegedly solemnized, Miss Negre and Orpilla had filed applications for a marriage license with the local civil registrar of Bacarra. However, no license was issued because it turned out that Orpilla is a married man. He had misrepresented to Judge Rivera that he was single. The marriage contract was already signed by the parties when it was presented to Judge Rivera. It was postdated September 15, 1972, the expiration date of the ten-day waiting period when the marriage license was expected to be issued. An assistant provincial fiscal in an information dated March 31, 1973 charged Judge Rivera in the Court of First Instance of Ilocos Norte with having performed an illegal marriage ceremony (Criminal Case No. 183-II). The offense is punished under article 352 of the Revised Penal Code. The case was reinvestigated. At the reinvestigation, Judge Rivera stressed that he signed the marriage contract without having performed marriage ceremony. He retained all the copies of the contract. He wanted the parties to obtain a marriage license. He did not furnish the parties nor the local civil registrar with a c Filipino retired military officer, lawyer, and criminologist Jolly del Rosario Bugarin (died September 2002) was a Filipino criminologist who served as Director of the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) from 1967 to 1986 and President of Interpol from 1980 to 1984.
