DILG Chief Presses
NCRPO Chief to step up Anti-Crime Campaign and relieve underperforming
Cops, Station Commanders in Metro Manila
Interior and Local Government
Secretary Mar Roxas today announced several significant accomplishments
of the National Capital Region Police Office, whose officials are under
strict orders to wage a more vigorous anti-criminality campaign in the
region.
The DILG chief said Director Carmelo
Valmoria, NCRPO chief, has ordered the relief of the chief of police of
Caloocan City, Supt. Bernard Tambaoan last August 14 “due to certain
deficiencies in administrative performance.”
Valmoria also relieved on Tuesday (Aug.
19) the Station Commander of the Manila Police District’s Station 11,
Supt. Luis Rafinan Francisco Jr. for his failure to reduce crime
incidents in his area of responsibility.
“The leadership of NCRPO has sent a
strong signal to all Chiefs of Police and Station Commanders in Metro
Manila that they will be relieved from their posts if they cannot keep
up with their performance to bring down crime incidents in their areas
of responsibility,” Roxas said.
On the other hand, the DILG chief said
Police Officer 2 Cesar Tolentino of Caloocan City PNP office, will be
given recognition and one rank higher promotion for his heroic act of
neutralizing two suspects riding in tandem on a motorbike who staged a
robbery hold-up at the Orange Gas Station along Quirino Avenue, Quezon
City at 7pm last August 17.
The other significant anti-criminality
accomplishments of the NCRPO include the arrest of leader Mac Lester
Reyes and other three members of a notorious hijacking group operating
in Metro Manila and nearby provinces; the arrest of Arnold Binasoy, one
of the Most Wanted Person in Isabela; and the arrest of Roger Rasaban,
top 3 Most Wanted Person in Pasay City.
To improve police visibility and enhance
the conduct of police checkpoints/chokepoints and foot patrols in Metro
Manila’s crime-prone areas, Valmoria has deployed more than 100 police
personnel from the PNP NHQ and the Regional Public Safety Battalion to
police stations having recorded high incidence of index crimes.
Valmoria has also deployed 932 Police
Trainees in the five Police Districts in Metro Manila which include the
Northern Police District; Eastern Police District; Manila Police
District; Southern Police District; and Quezon City Police District.
The DILG chief instructed Valmoria to
deploy the NHQ and RPSB augmentation troops to the police stations in
Tondo, Manila, Batasan Hills area in Quezon City, as well as parts of
Caloocan City and Pasay City. These areas were reported to have had a
rise in crime incidents, including homicide, theft, and robbery.
“We have to continuously think of ways
on how to improve further our anti-criminality campaign. We must
determine if we need to change our anti-crime tools or determine if it’s
the leadership that we need to change,” Roxas told Valmoria.
“What we need here is to raise the ante
of their performance. If they cannot keep up with our standards, you
should fire them (underperforming PNP officers). I do not care who their
padrinos are. We should replace them ASAP if they cannot perform
according to what is expected of them,” the DILG chief added.
Meantime, the PNP Criminal Investigation
and Detection Group’s Special Task Group PIVOT reported to the DILG
chief the arrest of three “high-value” targets operating in Metro
Manila.
Sr. Supt. Rudy Lacadin, PNP CIDG deputy
chief for operations, reported to the DILG chief the arrest of the
leader and two members of the notorious Alvin Nidua Gun-for-Hire Group
after a shootout in Taguig City last August 13. Alvin Nidua and his
cohort Joel Palacio where arrested in said incident while Allan Loreno, a
member of the group was arrested after he visited the wounded Alvin
Nidua in a hospital in Taguig City.
Two other accomplishments of the STG
PIVOT include the arrest of Aniceto Dumduya and Uba Tuban, both
suspected members of the “Panga” robbery hold-up group operating in
Metro Manila and its nearby areas.
Lacadin also reported the arrest of
suspect Ethel Bernas, an employee of the Bureau of Customs, who is
allegedly involved in robbery-extortion activities victimizing importers
and traders operating at the NAIA Terminals in Pasay City.
