Edgar "Egay" Batalla Aglipay[1] (born September 13, 1948) is a Filipino businessman and retired police officer with the rank of general.
[2] In 1972, as a young lieutenant, he was the platoon leader of the raiding team that captured MV Karagatan which prevented the New People's Army from getting hold of 1,500 M-14 rifles and other high power firearms.
[3] Aglipay served as chief deputy director-general of the National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) from 1998 to 2001.
[2] In January 2000, Aglipay relieved and assigned replacements for two police chiefs of the cities of Mandaluyong and Pasig, Superintendents Rodolfo Tutaan and Raul Medina respectively, upon the orders of then PNP chief Panfilo Lacson due to the underwhelming and neglectful performance of their subordinates.
[1] Upon the Second EDSA Revolution in January 2001, Aglipay and the five metropolitan police district directors joined the Armed Forces of the Philippines in withdrawing their support for President Joseph Estrada and going to EDSA, with Aglipay ordering his subordinates to keep the peace and "protect the people" in the area.
