It makes me wonder about the award that was recently given to Tacloban City PNP as Best Urban Station. From what i saw in local TV news, it was mainly due to their community presence and relations. If we are to take out the behavior of Esperas and Monteza (as well as Sudario and Ibañez), perhaps the award is deserved. On the other hand, this is exactly the kind of police behavior that makes our local police less praiseworthy.
The story on Sudario and Ibañez
August of 2007, these two police officers came to our store. They were looking to each buy a pair of jeans. The gist of the story is that despite our best efforts to achieve a cash sale, we had to give the items to them on credit. We agreed to the credit sale based on character since these two did not leave any form of collateral. We assumed that they are persons of integrity and character and eventually would return to our store to pay their debts.
Well, it's August 2008 and to this date they have not visited our store to pay for the items that they purchased. In fact, we would often see these two policemen on duty in the area around our store. My wife even visited them a couple of times to ask when they would pay.
DO THE MATH: Given the behavior of these Tacloban City police officers... ADD ...the fact that Tacloban City PNP was awarded Best Urban Station ... CAN YOU IMAGINE HOW TACLOBAN CITY POLICE OFFICERS ARE AT THEIR WORST?
I wonder if the local city police officials (and the local chief executive) have any idea what kind of petty abuse that street police do in the community.
