Mayors urge: Train
lousy PNP probers
To further preserve the peace through quality and scientific results
in the investigation that will stand the rigorous tests in the
courts, mayors are expected to reply positively to the plea of the
PNP itself to finance the training of the policemen assigned in their
jurisdiction.
Some P120,000 were carted away after a broad daylight robbery in one of the
city's biggest 24-hour drug stores. The heist was unscrupulously linked to the
drug enforcing agency when the four hold-uppers pretended to conduct a raid
on illegal drugs.
The drama, which lasted for ten minutes, was recorded on CCTV cameras footage of which was released to the CHRONICLE. The PDEA raid-pretense worked, even as the police quick-response team, which came ten minutes later, was only a few minutes away from the getaway convoy.
The members of the defense panel in the
Corona impeachment trial in the Senate
are seemingly performing better
than the prosecution panel so far. But
the legal battle is still picking up and
gaining momentum. It resumes on Tuesday
Day 6.
What is being displayed by the impeachment trial is that there is no substitute for experience. In every curve, the defense panel had always ammunition to throw at the prosecution while the latter could not deliver equal counter punches. If there were scorecards as in a boxing match, the defense panel could have the initial edge. But legal experts say, the impeachment trial could last at least for ninety days or more
Enter now impeachment season
when “traditional due process” gives way to a “political brand of due process” which was to deliver the public's perception of public accountability in the historic and unprecedented impeachment trial of the chief justice of the Supreme Court, no less, which began to unfold Monday, January l6, in the halls of the Senate. It's first week is over. It could run for six months, legal minds opine. For once, the Filipino people romanticized on how the Romans of old expressed their “hunger for blood” in the coliseum, when it started Monday. Now the enthusiasm is, as usual, dwindling, but not among intellectuals and legal aficionados who monitor the proceedings everyday even if “it brims with verbose legalese.”
May I call the attention of Dauin
Mayor Niel Credo to fix the flooded
condition at the mouth of the
Maayong Tubig Creek in Dauin
wherein the floods have made it impassable.
The shallow creek of 12
inches is now 8 feet of water at times.
People cannot cross over.
The site, Mr. Mayor, for verbiage
of ‘whats-what,': Before the storm, to get to your homes on the beachfront by car, you would drive down a paved (cemented) road to the beachfront dirt road that runs along the beachfront.
