MARINER POLICE

Part 1 of 4

My social media account was abuzz recently. It’s the Pages and Groups related to police and military actually. And No, the discussions were not about anything related to Marawi or the Drug war. It has nothing to do with the enemies of the state or the criminals either. Rather, it was something more about the uniformed agencies’ internal issue. Big issue.

What is it? Yeah, you may have guessed it right. SALARY INCREASE. How big you say? Big issue. Indeed. Heck! Even that Facebook page of military and police wives and girlfriends, whose posts are all about stories of infidelity and third parties, is talking about it. Especially them, mind you.

Anyway, ever since I broke the news that the PNP, DND personnel will not receive a 100% percent increase(or doubled) on their salary a few weeks ago, I have been mulling for quite some time about creating a simple analysis of the proposed increase endorsed by Budget Department of the Duterte administration,…

A trending topic was being discussed in the FB Group "Police Digest sa FB". it revolved around whether that incident wherein the NCRPO Chief scolded the PNCOs  caught in the act of using cellphone while in the middle of their duty during the ASEAN meetings was right or wrong. some pointed out that that may be on the extremes but who are we to question the commander's prerogative. Others were right to note that these PNCOs were scolded outrightly on their posts by the NCRPO Chief because of what seemed to be a break down of discipline.

As it turned out, when the motorcade led by NCRPO Chief passed by several column of road securities composed of PNP personnel, he noticed that majority were out of focus and many were busy fidgetting on their cellular phones. A commander has every right to be angry or be pissed off if the responsibility of ensuring the success of the security operation lies on his shoulders and…

"This is happening because many of our brothers-in-arm are, 1. either assigned in a locality with no access to a nearby ATMs, 2. those whose ATM Cards are in the possession of their Personal Finance Officers (READ: na kay kumander), or 3. simply because they are not Tech Savvy (Meaning walang hilig sa technolohiya :))."

I have seen a lot of Policemen and those from other services, as well as their dependent, wives, etc., asking in the different fora, especially on the social media groups, such as Police Digest sa FB, among others, this question, “May SAHOD na ba?”. This, despite the fact that most of the of PNP personnel are receiving their salaries thru ATM cards.

This is happening because many of our brothers-in-arm are:

1. either assigned in a locality with no access to a nearby ATMs;
2. those whose ATM Cards are in the possession of their Personal Finance Officers (READ: na kay kumander); or
3. simply…

Here we go again. one self-styled, self-proclaimed "journalist" is spreading gossips on his column in a major broadsheet. according to him, the Chief PNP's son, Rock Dela Rosa, has been guarded by bodyguards while inside the Philippine National Police Academy (PNPA). with such serious allegation, one would expect that the "journalist" has some solid evidence or proof to show. Except that he has none. his claim of "the fellow plebes" complaining is laughable. how come he was able to speak to a plebe? they are not allowed outside the camp yet.



Also, as alleged by this "journalist", Cadet Dela Rosa enjoyed a good life, doesn't live on the barracks and is able to go out of the academy most of the night. such unfounded claims are not only destroying Cadet Dela Rosa but is also inimical to the reputation of the PNPA.



Now, I am not writing here to say that I knew what really happened because I was not there to see firsthand the real situation. h…
