Story 1: 4 Paranaque police relieved from post after their mobile patrol parked in a motel in Pasay

Four police personnel from a precint in Paranaque Police Station including their commander were relieved from their post after their mobile patrol car was seen being parked in front of a motel in Pasay City.

The Southern Police District (SPD) Investigation Division is the one who will investigate on why the police brought the mobile patrol with plate number SBH 971 in a motel. The mobile car, which is a Toyota Revo is assigned in Police Community Precint (PCP) 6 of Paranaque Police Station located at Sucat highway.

PO3 Jose Salazar left the PCP 6 at around 1:50 am to repair the blinker of the mobile patrol. But the said car was parked in front of F.B. Harrison lodge, along F.B. Harisson Street in Pasay City.

The parked vehicle was reported by the media to the authorities wherein SPD Director Chief Supt. Luizo Ticman and Paranaque Chief of Police Supt. Ronald Estilles went at the said area at around 4:00 am looking for Salazar but they do not see him.

On the information Estilles got, the mobile car has four passengers three wearing police uniform including Salazar and one civilian and entered the nearby Universal KTV. Ticman and Estilles went inside the KTV but did not see Salazar.

At around 4:30 am Ticman and Estilles went back in front of the motel where the mobile car still being park.

Around 4:45 am, Salazar went back to his mobile car and was surprised to see the Paranaque COP and the SPD Director there. He admitted that he parked it in front but insisted that it is only because he will have the blinker repaired.

Meanwhile PO3 Gerry Sunga, investigator from SPD said it is not proper to see a mobile car being parked in such place, “Also, obviously they are not doing any patrol work in the first place the mobile was found in Pasay, and the said mobile is assigned in Paranaque, so what are they doing there. So that is one of the things we have to investigate,” he said.

Sunga added that they will also investigate if they really went inside the said KTV bar.

Aside from Salazar those who are relieved were PCP 6 Station Commander Inspector Mujlni Dugasan, PO1 Wilson Pando and PO1 Arvin Vargas. They are now assigned SPD Headquarters District Support Group.

Pando and Vargas were allegedly with Salazar when he left the station. They will investigate if they are fully aware of Salazar’s action. Their Commander was included on the relief because he is the immediate superior of Salazar and should know the whereabouts of his personnel.
