Cebu, Philippines - 4 policemen to receive reward from City Hall
From PhilStar.com, On-line news, The Freeman 09/27/2006
Four members of the Cebu City Police Office will receive a cash reward from the city government for their contribution to the campaign against criminality in the city. Cebu City acting director Supt. Melvin Gayotin told reporters yesterday that City Hall is giving rewards to PO2 Junicar Estiñoso and PO1 Rommel Mediodia of the Mobile Patrol Group.
According to Chief Inspector Arnel Banzon, the MPG chief, Entiñoso and Mediodia arrested a taxi driver a month ago for trying to bribe them after he was issued with a citation ticket for traffic violations along General Maxilom Avenue. Meanwhile, PO1 Angelo Avenido and PO1 Sherwin delos Reyes, both assigned to the Mabolo Police Station, will be awarded for the arrest of a snatcher last month.
Gayotin said the award would be given on Monday during a flag ceremony attended by City Hall officials. "You have to admit that giving a reward is a moral booster (since) it makes your people work more." However, Gayotin did not say how much would be given as reward to those policemen.
It has been City Hall's practice to dole out cash rewards to policemen with notable accomplishment against criminality. SPO1 Adonis Dumpit had been one of the recipients of such reward. The city government is also giving reward to civilians who give police information that would result to the arrest of wanted criminals.
The city police are now busy preparing for the upcoming Association of Southeast Asians Nations Summit, deploying more policemen in the streets and conducting random checkpoints. Gayotin also ordered the Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Branch to conduct operations in areas in the city frequented by criminals, asking barangay officials to cooperate with the police in the drive against criminality.
At least four people were arrested yesterday afternoon during a checkpoint conducted by the CIIB, Special Weapons and Tactics team and Vice Control Section along M.J. Cuenco Avenue in barangay Tejero. The suspects were identified as Cresencio Paquibot, 50, of San Francisco Camotes; John Jen Sumer, 20, a native of Inolingan, Negros Occidental; Paterno Montebon Jr., 32, of barangay Sumon, Tuburan; and a 17-year-old boy from Tipolo, Mandaue City. Montebon, a security guard, was caught with a .22 caliber magnum Black Widow revolver loaded with four ammunitions while the rest of the suspects were caught with bladed weapons. - Edwin Ian Melecio/LPM
