MANY INJUSTICES UNCHECKED

The good news is that the Philippine President personally presented the proposed Bangsa MoroLaw to Congress. It is a big part of the peace and order concern in the country. Another, but the badnews, that many of our police officers are entangled with accusations of serious crimes like that of theEDSA incident. With so many including Senators Grace Poe and Miriam Santiago talking about peaceand order being a prime problem in the country, Secretary Mar Roxas should really take action on allpolicemen involved in various crimes in the whole country. Check cases taking years or even decadesbefore the NAPOLCOM, or simple take action on their own. Re-assignment could simply do it as punitiveact but was missing from NAPOLCOM which hit Secretary Roxas as chief. Policemen should deposit theirfirearms in their headquarters when off-duty and not in uniform so that rogue policemen could not usetheir firearms to commit various crimes. It is even better to review PNP law and just have contractualsecurity agencies as replacements, in provinces or cities, where good policemen maybe absorbed,

separation pay and early retirement provided.

Again, Secretary Roxas talks of random blotter examination. But the problem is manypolicemen refuse to blotter nor take action particularly when policemen are involved to even show

gullible heads that their poorpoormance is splendid. The President even publicly praise s them, albeitgravely erroneous that emboldens police criminality. In effect, it destroys the PNP institution in whichhe is chief. The system dissuades the public in mustering courage to report police scalawags even us itputs them in serious disadvantage. A leading newspaper, Philippine Star had run an article of police

quota system from illegal activities. Thus, Filipinos no longer report crimes because in many instancespolice desk become tippers of their comrades and batch mates in the police training. These takespeople to think there may be syndicated sharing thus, the cuddling. Reportedly, a rogue policemenoften involved in misdeeds is Rogel del Rio of Tanauan City PNP with senile action from the NAPOLCOMaka NAPALPAK.

There are also policemen who could hardly write legibly. Many do not even know what to puton blotters. These should now become part of the recruitment screenings nation-wide. Localgovernment units are mandated to enforce all laws and ordinances. So many hardly knows, howeverhow to blotter and many times refuse to give certified copies or just jot down complaints in loosesheets. Their alleged trainings are actually out of town junkets not even touching on as basic service asproper recording of incidents. Secretary Roxas, wake up and show some competence or forget thepresidency. Meanwhile, Senator Bongbong Marcos, DILG Committee head in the Senate and other

presidentiables are in deafening silence. Meantime, the National Press Club could perhaps help correctour system as the 4 th state.

NBI and the PNP-CIDG to help uncover misdeeds with teeth. It results in scams where poor victimshaving to see a lawyer, pay prohibitive lawyer fees, dockets, and bonds instead of the reverse. Thus,there is grave disadvantage and injustice. What if the party does not have money to pay for all theseexcluding time necessary to spend? POA lawyers would refuse to help erroneously reasoning victim hasproperty although penniless. On the other hand, the indigent litigant rule seems out of reality. There is

where scams on property registration thieve well. Many are deprived of property that way. What else?Could the Department of Justice and Chief Justice Maria Lourdes-Sereno find immediate remedy?
