A very sad plight.

Hope that publicity of this unfortunate situation of the rookies will burst the eardrums of those in the hierarchy.

Communist insurgency is what makes us poor. We are unable to sustain our PNP because the budget appropriations are all confined to other matters like paying salaries, and sustaining our basic needs like much needed salaries.

Name any democratic country who is not beset with communist insurgency who cannot sustain their police force. At least we are not desperate enough to escape extreme poverty by braving shark infested areas to settle in other countries like the Vietnamese boat people who braved them and settled in Bataan refugee centers.

I myself will die unable to own a house. But at least I can eat three times a day and I have my own subsidized apartment or a roof over my head.

Our goal among PNP and AFP is to " finish the race.."(Apostle Paul). To die for the sake of democracy. To die for the preservation of all democratic institutions like freedom of religion, freedom of speech and the press, etc. Only Sison "keeps us out from finishing the race". (Bible)
"Provocation is a valid defense against homicide"- Canadian Law on MSantor who 'cough, cough..', passes by my company room with a cup of coffee, waits for me in the bus shelter together with his friends and provoke me, and has been stalking me in forums like army.ca, navy.ca, timawa.net, militaryforums.com... He indeed is 'SEEKING DEATH' - Holy Bible.

To have no gun, life for a cop is nothing. This cop bought his own and is now the cost of his life.

why the Glock has a lot of critics among gun enthusiasts:

Looking beyond the hype

Yeah, the Glock’s a pretty good gun but I personally find more fault with it than advantage. All Glocks look pretty much the same. My version is the Glock 19 which fires 9mm cartridges and has a 4 inch barrel and weighs a mere 24 ounces empty. The slide / barrel assembly is a non-reflective flat black steel and the frame is a matte black plastic (polymer per Glock). All of the handle has a no slip texture to it and 3 much-appreciated finger grips adorn the inside front of the handle. An elongated, plastic trigger guard follows under the slide and matches the overall lines of the pistol. Balance is decent and the action is smooth. So far so good.

Here’s my beef. There are two safety issues with all Glocks that make me avoid carrying one. The first is the flight path of ejected shells. They fly at your face which makes you flinch and they’re red hot, of course. I’ve had this happen with other Glocks as well, not just the one I own. My second, and actually my biggest, problem with this gun is the ‘Safe Action System’ that is offered. The Glock is a SAO (single action only) firearm meaning that once you pull back the slide and feed a round into the chamber the gun is ready to fire - but unlike traditional SAO’s, there is no external safety available. In other words you’re now carrying a gun cocked, ready to shoot and the trigger only needs 5 pounds of pull to fire it. Most other SAO guns have an external safety that you operate with your thumb to prevent accidental firing. The Glocks ‘Safe Action’ is a system which prevents the trigger from being pulled unless another lever is pulled in also. Where is that other lever? It’s actually in the center of the trigger! In other words if the trigger gets snagged or your finger grabs it as you’re drawing the pistol you could discharge it unintentionally. I can understand law enforcement not worrying about this due to the fact that they’re carrying in hard plastic holsters, but when you carry concealed that isn’t really an option. The only way I would carry a Glock is without a round in the chamber – and what’s the point of that? Many, many people swear by the ‘Safe Action’ trigger but to me its one of the least safe guns on the market because of that. But getting past that now…

Firing the Glock is enjoyable. The slide has very clear white dot sights built in and recoil is handled brilliantly by this gun. At the range I’ve got safety goggles on so the spent cartridges flying at my face don’t bother me too much. The ten round clip feeds smoothly and has never once hung up on me. At ten yards my groupings are reasonably tight.

Weapons are manufactured with utmost credibility with greater emphasis on safety features before it passed the quality control and on to it's end users. Accidents can be minimized if not totally prevented if the user of any firearm is well-trained in handling weapons not to mention the need to acquaint types and brand of weapons according to it's User's instruction manual provided by the manufacturer before possessing and using it.

Not even half of the police in the entire PNP for sure know how to handle their respective issued weapons in the manner how it should be as far as saftey, maintenance, and accuracy is concerned.

10,000 cops get decent housing
By Cecille Suerte Felipe (The Philippine Star) Updated May 24, 2010 12:00 AM

MANILA, Philippines - Over 10,000 members of the Philippine National Police now enjoy decent housing, in line with the organization’s efforts to improve the living standards of its members, according to the PNP leadership.

PNP chief Director General Jesus Verzosa said that the housing program for police personnel nationwide is one of the top priorities of the PNP-Integrated Transformation Program, designed to transform the police force into a more capable, effective and efficient public servant.

PNP spokesman Chief Superintendent Leonardo Espina said there was a significant improvement in the housing programs of the PNP.

In March 2009, 52,498 policemen or 43.75 percent of the 125,000 police personnel were in dire need of decent shelter while 60 percent, ranked between police officer 1 (PO1) to police officer 3 (PO3), live below the poverty line, according to the PNP.

“There was about 20 percent decrease in the number of policemen who were informal dwellers,” said Espina.

“In our housing program, we make sure that our policemen will pay low interest. Most of our people have been pulled out from their informal dwelling, from the quagmire,” he said. The PNP chief has been personally overseeing the development of PNP housing projects, including the ongoing construction of the twin 4-storey residential quarters for Quezon City Police District (QCPD) personnel.

The projected is expected to be completed on June 30.

Verzosa instructed the PNP Housing Board chaired by Deputy Director General Jefferson Soriano, PNP deputy chief for administration, to fast-track the completion of the project and make the building ready for occupancy by June 15.

Espina said the PNP has been closely coordinating with the government agencies and non-government organization for the housing program of PNP members.

“Gawad Kalinga has been helping the PNP (on housing programs for policemen) like the AFPSLAI (Armed Forces and Police Savings and Loan Association, Inc.), the PSMBFI (Public Safety Mutual Benefits Fund Inc.,” said Espina.

One of the PNP housing projects is located in Barangay Tartaro in San Miguel, Bulacan.

The housing project involving 400 hectares is part of the 1,600-hectare property allotted for the housing of military, police, teachers and government employees declared by President Arroyo in March 2006.

In December 2007, Mrs. Arroyo allocated P100 million for the Pulis Kalinga Quartering Project in Taguig.

Filed Under: Police, Interior Policies, Government
MANILA, Philippines -- The Department of Interior and Local Government has put up a P5 million legal assistance fund for policemen constantly being harassed with legal cases that often result to delayed promotions, Secretary Jesse Robredo said on Tuesday.

The legal assistance fund will provide qualified policemen with lawyers that will aid them in solving cases filed against them. To qualify, a policeman must be the subject of harassment, meaning cases that are filed against a policeman while he is actually doing his job.

Citing an example, Robredo said, "There was a chief of police back when I was mayor of Naga, he was suspended for one year because he was charged by someone whom he filed a drug-related case against."

"We will not allow these harassments to continue against our policemen who are actually doing their jobs," he added.

The P5 million fund will be managed by the National Police Commission.

Traumatized cops in Yolanda-hit areas to be deployed to Cebu, NCR
November 27, 2013 5:44pm

Several policemen stationed in Yolanda-hit provinces will be temporarily pulled out from their areas of command and deployed to other cities to help them recover from the trauma they experienced during the storm, the Philippine National Police (PNP) said Wednesday.

A “Balitanghali” report quoted PNP spokesperson Senior Superintendent Reuben Theodore Sindac as saying that policemen discovered to be suffering from trauma will be transferred in the coming days to either Cebu or Metro Manila, depending on their superiors’ evaluation. He added that security forces in Leyte and the rest of Visayas region will be augmented by the arrival of policemen from other regions.

Sindac, however, did not say how many policemen will be pulled out from the typhoon-stricken areas.

According to a Philippine Information Agency report, a total of 1,283 policemen from Metro Manila and Region IV have been sent to Leyte following the typhoon to augment government forces there.

Aside from assisting government personnel and aid workers in the distribution of relief goods, the policemens have also been conducting checkpoints and providing security for vital installations and business establishments.

The Armed Forces of the Philippines, meanwhile, said it has deployed more than 12,000 soldiers to Yolanda-stricken areas to maintain peace and order.

The PNP has earlier ordered the relief of Chief Superintendent Elmer Soria as Eastern Visayas police chief supposedly to help him overcome the stress he experienced during the disaster.

Police officials have denied reports saying Soria was sacked from his post for telling journalists that the death toll from super typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan) could reach 10,000, a figure refuted by President Benigno Aquino III. — Xianne Arcangel/KBK, GMA News

--------

Aside from relief and security operations, a number of these policemen were tasked for recovery operations. :armyneutral:

Cops in Cebu, Samar dealing with loss of homes, delayed wages due to Yolanda
November 28, 2013 8:09am

Tags: Eastern Samar , easternsamar Yolanda , Super Typhoon Yolanda
Police in Cebu and Samar provinces are among those affected by super typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan), with some 60 of them having lost their homes in Cebu and several more dealing with a delay in their salaries.

In northern Cebu, some 60 police personnel are trying to rebuild their homes that were destroyed by Yolanda, radio dzBB's Glen Juego reported Thursday.

The report quoted Central Visayas police head Chief Superintendent Danilo Constantino as saying Yolanda had devastated parts of Northern Cebu last Nov. 8.

Constantino cited information reaching him indicating most of the affected police personnel are in Bantayan Island in Cebu.

He said he is now coordinating with Philippine National Police headquarters in Camp Crame to assist the affected personnel.

Yolanda left at least 5,500 dead after devastating parts of the Visayas and Southern Luzon.

In Eastern Samar province in Eastern Visayas, meanwhile, dzBB's Allan Gatus reported police continued to report for duty despite not yet getting their salaries for this month.

The report quoted the Eastern Samar provincial police office as saying the police usually get their salaries via automated teller machines, but several ATMs in the province are still down.

Neither could the police personnel there withdraw cash from banks over the counter since most banks there have yet to reopen.

For now, PNP headquarters in Camp Crame is sending the affected police personnel's salaries to the regional police office, which will then turn it over to the local police stations.

The report quoted some of the affected policemen as saying they do not mind the delay at least for now, adding what is important is that their salaries arrive. —KG, GMA News
